A Reasonably Good Comic Art Show

No, I'm not talking about Wizard World (I plan to write about that tomorrow). I don't know how I missed this announcement last week, but Ivan Brunetti is set to curate a comics installation, "The Cartoonist's Eye," next month at Columbia College in Chicago. Seth will be there with his slide show "Brief Stories About Cartooning" for the opening on September 8, and Brunetti will offer his curator's talk in October. More than 60 cartoonists, including such names as Chris Ware, Robert Crumb, Dan Clowes, Art Spiegelman, Charles Schulz, Ernie Bushmiller, Bud Fisher, George Herriman, Winsor McCay, Basil Wolverton, and Harvey Kurtzman, have been confirmed for inclusion, and more are promised. Both Tom Spurgeon at The Comics Reporter and Eric Reynolds at The Fantagraphics Blog asked if this is the greatest comic art show ever. Could well be. Check out either of those posts for a full list of confirmed artists.
