CAKE Debuts This Weekend!

The Chicago Alternative Comics Expo is taking place 11am - 6pm June 16 & 17, 2012!CAKE (as it's known around town) is on the 8th floor of 1104 S Wabash (Columbia College Chicago's Ludington Building)!CAKE is FREE and features over 200 talented comics creators and small-press publishers from all over North America, from hometown heroes to exotic Canadians (wooooooo)!If you are looking for personalized story-telling, experimental art, humor comics, self-reflection and self-expression, and everything else in between -par excellence- CAKE is the place to be! Their contents' depth and breadth are impressive, as is the count of over 25 comics which will be available for the first time (debuts).And if 80 tables chocked full of the greatest comics being made today is not enough for you (jeesh, really?), our Slate of programming presents 14 events that range from conversation to presentation to demonstration to documentation. Yes! Let's talk about vulgarity! Yes! Let's talk about autobiography! Yes! Let's talk about the history of comics in Chicago! Let's investigate the relationship of the cousin media, Comics & Animation!After 16 years, Chicago has an alternative comics festival again! Thanks to everyone who has made CAKE possible, we're looking forward to a great weekend.
