  <title>MoCCA 2026</title>
  <link>https://avram.dreamwidth.org/491097.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Man, I haven’t been keeping track of MoCCA well! I’ve been to every one except 2020 (cancelled), 2021 (video only), 2024, and 2025. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyway, went again this year. Just Saturday. Here’s my haul: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Books&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://peow.studio/shop/products/ex-mag-vol-1-full-metal-dreamland&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;EX.Mag&lt;/em&gt; anthology&lt;/a&gt; #3 &amp;amp; #6 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Naked: The Confessions of a Normal Woman&lt;/em&gt; by Éloise Marseille &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://kidscomicsunite.com/anthology/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Let’s Go!&lt;/em&gt; A Kids Comics Studio anthology&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://sva.edu/&quot;&gt;SVA&lt;/a&gt;’s Comics &amp;amp; Illustration magazine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/ophiuchus&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ophiuchus&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Ali Leriger De La Plante &amp;amp; Natasha Tara Petrović&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Some small promotional thing from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.xencelabs.com/us&quot;&gt;Xencelabs&lt;/a&gt; to promote their tablets &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Floppies &amp;amp; Minies&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One of &lt;a href=&quot;https://comicskingdom.com/working-cats&quot;&gt;Maritsa Patrinos’s bodega cats minis&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A tiny sketchbook mini by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.allistrations.com/&quot;&gt;Allison Conway&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A cocktail comic by &lt;a href=&quot;https://comics.billroundy.com/&quot;&gt;Bill Roundy&lt;/a&gt; about the Bee’s Knees &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Spring 2025 issue of &lt;em&gt;INK&lt;/em&gt;, a comics anthology by SVA students &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Several issues (#9, #11–14, #15, #16) of &lt;em&gt;Meanwhile&lt;/em&gt;, a comics anthology published by the Art &amp;amp; Design program at Ringling College &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;You Don’t Ask What You Can See&lt;/em&gt;, a mini by Rosa Colón Guerra &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lock In!&lt;/em&gt; vol 2, FIT’s student comics anthology &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Exceptional Machines &amp;amp; Other Artificial Life&lt;/em&gt;, a small comics anthology &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Inner Critic Recovery Program&lt;/em&gt; by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.tomhart.net/&quot;&gt;Tom Hart&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Merch&lt;/h2&gt;
