The McCloud visit to New York, part of the 50 state tour, had a number of public events, and yes, we went to all of them. Scott gave a talk at SVA (followed by a pizza party which I was able to attend after teaching), a signing at Midtown Comics, and a party at Rocketship. Needless to say, all of these events were a lot of fun.
Calvin and I had dinner with the McClouds in San Diego during Comic-Con, kind of a highlight since I have admired him since reading "Understanding Comics" when I was a student at ITP. It was great to meet Scott's wife Ivy, who is charming. Scott and Ivy have 2 fabulous daughters, Sky and Winter. The McCloud family presentation, where all participated, was another Comic-Con highlight.
"Making Comics" is a great book and a wonderful resource. If you have the slightest interest in comix, drawing, narrative or visual information- run right out and buy Scott's books!
On a completely different note, Kate wrote about our recent trip to Oswego- I would only like to add this photo.
