A Virtual Tour of the 2018 Toronto Comic Arts Festival
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival has come and gone, and once again, I was not there. No, I was at home, on my phone, scrolling through Twitter and Instagram, looking at all the pictures of the amazing indie comic makers, and longing to be there. *deep sigh* One day, I will attend, and I will fill my tote bag with comics and zines, and then my heart will be content. Until that day, at least there is social media to scroll through and pretend we were walking the floors of the Toronto Reference Library. Consider the following a very small, not nearly at all comprehensive, virtual tour of TCAF 2018. If you see something that catches your eye, I’ve included links to the creators online store, so you can fill up your online tote bag with comics, as it were. Let’s discover some new comics, y’all!
