Here's the "comics" track of events:

• Sat 12:00 PM in Parlor B—Graphic Tales: Comics, Graphic Novels, and SF (106)

  Since the 1930?s, with the debut of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, and a certain strange visitor from another planet, comics and SF have been intertwined. Characters like Batman, Iron Man, Green Lantern, and the X-Men all contain heavy science fiction influences. And titles like The New Gods, The Eternals, and The Legion of Super Heroes (which took place in the 30th century!) are basically serialized space operas. So why does it seem like so many fans of either genre don?t seem to see any similarity? Our panelists will look at comics from an SF perspective.

A host of cartoonists will descend upon the Toronto Reference Library - meet Svetlana Chmakova, J. Torres, Scott Chantler, Ed Northcot, Ramon Perez and Eric Kim. Details here.

The Webcomics Monkey Day Marathon starts December 7th. Monkey Day is December 14th.

What is this thing called Monkey Day?

Monkey Day is an annual celebration of all things simian, a festival of primates, a chance to scream like a monkey and throw feces at whomever you choose. Or perhaps just a reason to hang out with your friends while grunting and picking fleas off each other. (note: for legal reasons, the publishers of the Monkey Day website in no way endorse throwing feces in any manner at any time.)
