If An Indie Artist Falls In the Woods Does Anyone Hear?

July 2nd, 2007 by PCSbot

This being “I Love the Indies,” we’d be remiss to not mention the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) Art Festival 2007, which just took place this past weekend in NYC. You knew that, right? Seems like not even MoCCA really hyped the show much. What’s an Independent Comic Creator to do?

BOMB QUEEN: Look I don’t care what you cover on this stupid website, but if you didn’t see the MoCCA hype maybe you weren’t invited to the party, dumbass. Don’t fake your indy cred, be true to your calling. Like ME! I’m a villain, I’m not your damn friend, I don’t care if you live or die - but I’m not making all kissy-kissy about it. Fact is you knew it, but blew it. So what? Move on. Potheads who buy stapled xerox lesbian scribble ain’t coming to your pansy ass blog anyway. God I hate losers, grow a pair and stand on your so-called geek feet, then get the hell out of my face.

SNAKE: I talked to the people who handle our book — Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers, coming in October to comic shops everywhere courtesy of Silent Devil Inc (and don’t forget to check out our new website, www.division18.com) — and they say its not easy. If you know about the show, its because you’re either an exhibitor or you’ve already got MoCCA on your radar. There doesn’t seem to be much of a push to attract new blood to the show.

LOU: On the flipside, The Big Apple Comic Con, which is sort of a dirt-mall version of a mainstream comics event, took place this same weekend, and there were ads on every comic site, MySpace announcements, and I think even some spam! MoCCA should really look into employee some more blatant methods to attracting people to their show, like we do with our comic — Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers, available soon wherever comic books are sold!

SNAKE: I know a guy who went to dat show one time. Said it smelled like a teenager wrapped in dirty socks. I should tell our writer to blog about it over at our new website, www.division18.com.

    Personally, I’d love to get out to both the NYCon and MoCCA someday. I’ve never been to New York, so I’m a virgin. But I’ve heard so many good things about it.

    Best convention I’ve been to all year.
