As we've mentioned, the Wondercon occurs next weekend (April 19-21) in Oakland, California. Details can be found here. And if you're around that weekend, you might want to drop by the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. They're now situated in new digs, with walls lined with rare and lovely comic book pages and strip originals. A retrospective of Calvin & Hobbes is just closing and a big exhibit of Spider-Man art is being unveiled.
Friday evening, April 19, they're hosting a "rent party" and the place will be crawling with great cartoonists and — who knows? — they may even let me in. But Spider-Man artists John Romita, Sr. and John Romita, Jr. will both be present to cut the ribbon (er, webbing) on the new showing, and there'll be other folks and food and music and you can find out all about it at the museum's website. Even if you can't make it to this event, the museum deserves your support. It's a great place to visit and see how good comic art can look when it's properly framed and displayed with a little sense of class.
