SPX is this Friday and Saturday in Bethesday, MD. I’ll be there (so will Ryan Estrada!) and actual creators, including Harvey Pekar, by the hundreds!
The Ignatz Award Ceremony will be held Saturday at 9:00 PM.
Unfortunately the SPX site still doesn’t seem to have put up a list of the Ignatz nominees or for that matter updated the page on the Ignatz awards. We did, however, write about the nominees for Outstanding Online Comic last week and the full list of nominees were posted on the TCJ Message Boards.
