Break out your pens, pencils, and other artistic accessories for this meeting of the comic minds. There’ll be opportunities for socializing, sketching, and sharing your illustrative hopes & dreams for 2026 as well as a blanket and coat drive. Special out-of-town readers join the night’s performance lineup, with Dallas’ Chelsea Akpan and Portland’s Ross Jackson on tap alongside locals Alice Blank, Ripley LaRue, and Sol. – James Scott
