We sold out of numerous titles, some within hours (and to the chagrin of our artists who ran out of books to sign &amp;mdash; sorry!), and had mobs of fans turn out for our signings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I took a load of photos; some highlights are below, followed by an embedded slideshow with lots more shots (which you can also view &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fantagraphics/sets/72157623861484020/show/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;full screen&lt;/a&gt;) and a mosaic of thumbnails to browse. You can also &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fantagraphics/sets/72157623861484020/detail/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;browse the full set of photos with captions on our Flickr page&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fantagraphics/4523913262/in/set-72157623861484020&quot;

			<title>Daily OCD: 7/10/09</title>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Heading into the weekend, here&amp;#39;s your Online Commentary &amp;amp; Diversions:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &amp;quot;Carol Tyler&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&quot;youllneverknow1&quot;&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ll Never Know [Book 1: A Good and Decent Man]&lt;/a&gt;  mines similar territory to women graphic novelists before her -- the life of her father and its relationship to her own foibles -- and manages to make a work entirely her own, neither derivative nor overly familiar... with genuinely gorgeous illustration... It&amp;rsquo;s a gripping mix of biography and autobiography...    There&amp;rsquo;s more for Tyler to explore in another volume, and she manages to make this one immensely satisfying on its own terms while alternately leaving you with anticipation for the next.&amp;quot; - John E. Mitchell, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thetranscript.com/ci_12807900&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;North Adams Transcript&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Review: &amp;quot;...[Y]ou could do much, much, much, much, much, much worse than to spend 25 bucks and an inch on your bookshelf on yet agoddamnnother collection of murderously bleak and astonishingly well-executed high-concept existentialism [&lt;a href=&quot;lowmoon&quot;&gt;Low Moon&lt;/a&gt;], drawn with an unimpeachable clean line and colored like unto a thing of beauty. Time and time again during these five stories I was almost physically impacted by Jason&amp;#39;s skill as a storyteller ...his skill and his bravado left me shaking my head with amusement and/or amazement time and time again. He&amp;#39;s one of the best, as is this book.&amp;quot; - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.alltooflat.com/about/personal/sean/2009/07/comics_time_low_moon.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sean T. Collins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Interview: &lt;a href=&quot;seth&quot;&gt;Seth&lt;/a&gt;  talks a bit about his design work for &lt;a href=&quot;peanuts&quot;&gt;The Complete Peanuts&lt;/a&gt;  in an interview with Alex Carr at Amazon&amp;#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.omnivoracious.com/2009/07/interview-with-seth.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Omnivoracious&lt;/a&gt;  blog. Sample quote: &amp;quot;The series was meant to be a setting for the jewel that is Schulz&amp;#39;s masterpiece. I wanted to make sure that Schulz&amp;#39;s work was treated with the utmost seriousness and dignity.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Interview: &lt;a href=&quot;aljaffee&quot;&gt;Al Jaffee&lt;/a&gt;  answers Tim Hodler&amp;#39;s question about cartoon vomit at &lt;a href=&quot;http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ComicsComics/~3/rRDfgHeQ3Bc/funny-answers-to-stupid-questions.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Comics Comics&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Plug: In an &lt;a href=&quot;http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2009/07/talking-comics-with-tim-moccas-karl-erickson/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;interview with Robot 6&lt;/a&gt;, MoCCA Festival organizer Karl Erickson singles out &lt;a href=&quot;humbug&quot;&gt;Humbug&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s Arnold Roth &amp;amp; Al Jaffee and &lt;a href=&quot;mome&quot;&gt;Mome&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s Derek Van Gieson &amp;amp; Sara Edward-Corbett as highlights of the 2009 festival &lt;/p&gt;</description>
