More on the MAD Caricature Convention
It was recently announced by the International Society of Caricature Artists (ISCA) convention organizers that, for the first time ever, non-ISCA members are able to attend the main speaker presentations and panels for only $99.00 (cheap!).

That comic is so great! He must have been ECSTATIC to see it printed up by DC. Also, being in Detroit, I’m definitely going to try and make it down to Sandusky come November!
