This festival of local cartoonists will feature galleries, readings, panels, and workshops, culminating in a two-day convention for cartoonists from across the country and down the coast to connect with their readers and peddle their wares.<\/p>\n The goal of VanCAF is to appeal to everyone, whether they’re already die-hard comics fans or simply experimenting. For this reason, admission to all events will be free, and table costs for exhibitors will be as low as possible. We’re not so much concerned with making a profit as we are transforming Vancouver into a city of story-telling and comics.<\/p>\n Although we take inspiration from other great Canadian shows, such as the\u00a0Calgary Comic Expo<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Toronto Comic Arts Festival<\/a>, we are not affiliated with either event.
