<div>You fucks love art. You always say so. You're always talking
about how much we need more local art, or how we should support
artists. APE, well, it's all about the f'ing independent and
alternative artists, a lot of whom are cartoonists. If you start
on 'I don't like comics', shut up for one fucking second and
listen. Listening? good. These aren't your poppa's comics. Well,
some of them are, but most of them are so different from one
other, you're guaranteed to like something there. There are some
seriously fucking amazing artists that put their blood, sweat
and fucking tears in with their ink for months and months to
make these fucking things. And it's rarely appreciated. Comics
have changed a whole metric shit-ton in the last ten years. If
you're not reading webcomics, you fucking should be. There's
some <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://meekcomic.com/">bad</a> <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://oglaf.com/snowqueen/">ass</a> <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://octopuspie.com/">shit</a> out
there, and you are missing the fuck out, my friend, if you don't
read them. </div>
<div>There's also a ton of just straight-up artists and
craftspeople there, making some incredible stuff, just sitting
there, waiting for you to check it out.</div>
<div>It makes me near to sick how many of you dolts haven't been
to APE. It's in San Francisco, where most of us live or at least
couchsurf, it's cheap ($10) and fucking incredible. If you say
you appreciate art and you haven't been to ape, I know you are a
fucking liar, and most likely also hate puppies. Probably kick
them, too, and enjoy their pathetic little yelps. You fucking
jerk. </div>

Already done. I had a budget of $100 and it is exactly used up. <br>
<br>
I missed the guy who does Dresden Codak this year, but I did break
down and see what Paige Braddock is all about. Zombie comics down,
cute mini comics about pets and Tucker Max style exploits are up.<br>
