Periscope: Portland's storyboard and comics studio.

The Appreciating Comics panel was a huge success. Big crowd. Great questions. Fun. Informative. All that. The moderator was Douglas Wolk, and the panelists were Colleen Coover, Dylan Meconis, Scott McCloud, Jenn Manley Lee, and Gail Simone.


Big scramble for seats. It was standing room only, and they wound up turning a lot of people away.



Sara Ryan reads the winning door prize number.



Scott mixin' it up, Arsenio-style.


Gail Simone explains all.


Douglas, Colleen and Dylan


Big laffs all around.


Douglas takes another question. Colleen doesn't think he should.


Dylan got a page and a half of Family Man inked between questions.


Gail clarifies something. Scott's thoughtful. Jenn's looking at you out of the corner of her eye, so don't try sneaking up.



Douglas said something alarming, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was.



Jamie Rich, like those around him, pausing to reflect on just what all of this really means.



At dinner, Shannon Wheeler calmly explains that single panel cartoons shouldn't be arbitrarily excluded from any definition of the medium...


...but Scott is having too good a time to revisit that one.


Jen and Vera go straight to the index of Douglas' new book.
