Description of Pictures: THE SERIOUS BUSINESS OF HUMOROUS MEMOIR
Panelists Keith Knight (K Chronicles), November Garcia (Foggy Notions), Glynnis Fawkes (Reign Of Crumbs), and Jennifer Hayden (The Story Of My Tits) will explain to moderator Marc Sobel how their focus on the funnier side of their lives doesn’t stop them from discussing serious issues as well. Indeed for some of these cartoonists, humor is an important tool in diffusing the gravity of their circumstances.

Wikipedia Description: Small Press Expo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Small Press Expo (SPX) is an alternative comics convention that takes place every September or October in Bethesda, Maryland. It rivals the Alternative Press Expo as the premiere convention for alternative comics creators and fans. SPX's main claim to fame are the Ignatz Awards. As one of the few festival awards rewarded in comics, they are voted on by attendees and are given annually at SPX.

SPX publishes an annual anthology as a companion to the convention. The first edition (1997) was in standard comic format, while all subsequent editions have been in digest format. Contributors have included Alex Robinson, Frank Cho, Marc Hempel, Brian Ralph and many others.

SPX is closely associated with the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF). All profits from SPX including the proceeds from the anthology and other fund raising activities that take place during the convention weekend, go to the CBLDF.

The SPX was founded in 1994 by a group of Washington-Baltimore area retailers to promote diversity in the comics marketplace. It also coincided with Dave Sim's "Spirits of Independence" tour. Attendees of the early years often speak of the close-knit community that was attained during the convention, citing offbeat occurrences such as James Kochalka's nude musical performance in 1998 and the annual pig roast/picnic.

SPX has been held in conjunction with the International Comics and Animation Festival (ICAF) many times beginning in 1997. Both ICAF and the Expo were cancelled in 2001 due to creators' travel difficulties related to the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: (April) a 48-hour jaunt for a Civil War Trust conference in Pensacola, FL, (June) an 11-day trip built around the Civil War Trust annual conference in Chattanooga, TN including sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, (July) the annual San Diego Comic Con trip with a sidetrip to sites in Arizona, (August) a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin including sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin, (October) the Civil War Trust Grand Review in Fredericksburg, VA, and (December) a two-day jaunt to New York City. For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about: "Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo), "The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy), "The American Spirit" (David McCullough), "Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert), "The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and "The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover). Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
