Can you spot King Features
Comics Editor Brendan Burford amongst the crowd?

Phil Pyster, of the NCS's mangement company, chats with Jeff
Keane.

Other minglers and art fanatics.
This fellow is Tom Inge, the Robert Emory Blackwell Professor of
the Humanities at Randolph-Macon College and author of Comics as
Culture.

The one on the left is cartoonist
Paul Fell. The gentleman on the right is Cuban-born cartoonist Gustavo
Rodriguez [who now lives in Miami].

Jeff Stahler and a fan stake out a corner near Jeff's 2003
strip, Dear Dudley.

We were very pleased to welcome
new GLC member Jared (Teacher From The Black Lagoon) Lee
to his first NCS event. Behind him, Tony Cochran seems rather animated
about something.

Jared grabs a pen and makes
his mark on the big piece of cardboard. Not pictured, but here someplace,
is Jared's wife, PJ. And, in this photo on the right, we get a profile
of Al Tudor.

Comics Historian R.C.
Harvey had a lot to contribute to the weekend, having just completed
the definitive Milton Caniff biography.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Mort Walker!

Here we have comix scholar
Bruce Chrislip; NCS newsletter editor Frank Pauer; the hand
of Amy Lago, and Jeff Stahler.

Steve Boreman once again,
and Frank Pauer, also once again.

Lucy Caswell, the driving force behind the festival, and Frank
Pauer again again.

This gauzy look is not a
special effect; just poor photography. Polly (Hamster Alley)
Keener chats with Bill (Tank McNamara) Hinds and Phil
Pyster.
