Last year's inaugural GRAPHIC festival was a great success, and they've outdone themselves with the speakers this time. They include the great Jim Woodring, Peter Kuper, Gary Groth, Nathan Jurevicius, Scott McCloud, Eddie Campbell, and a little-known artist named Robert Crumb. I'll be attending a couple of talks.
