I just got back from the Stockholm International Comics Festival (signing here with fellow D&Q author Seth, photo via)

The librarians and organizers who put the show together were wonderful, and everyone visiting from Canada had a great time.  Lucky us that this year had a focus on Canadian talent.  I was pretty blown away by the beauty of they city, as well as the gifted and thriving comics scene in Sweden.  I hope I see more Swedish comics coming this way, because they’re really good.  And to anyone who would like to know, in my opinion, the festival is a gem, absolutely recommended.

And just so you know, Swedes like their coffee strong!  You can see I’m halfway through a cup here.  I’m still reeling.
