ICv2 has a preliminary overview, with more news promised in the coming week. Elsewhere, Heidi MacDonald offers a gossipy recap of her adventures on Friday, and Elayne Riggs checks in with photos from Saturday.

Here's a getaway tip for the remote desert island that is the Javits Center: at least an hour to a half-hour before you want to leave, call a <I>car service</I> to make a reservation appointment to come for you. Make certain you have an exact meeting point in mind (sometimes crossing the street and waiting on that corner is better than trying to direct them to which door at the Javits you will be at). Most car services will call you back on your cell when the car is five minutes or so away. You'll pay more than a taxi but <I>much less</I> than the gypsy van service you seem to have had, and it'll be more comfortable and safe. Ask them how much the price will be when you call. Add in tolls if you're heading out of Manhattan to any of the airports. Here's numbers for two competiting car services in Manhattan; both are pretty good and the numbers are easy to remember: (212) 777-7777 (Dial 7 Cars) and (212) 666-6666 (Car-Mel). Thanks for the link!

Lots of comics related panels, plus the usual signings, and I wish I could clone myself. Keep a small bag, and unload it in the attendee shipping area. Take it home then, or ship it. Tom Batiuk has two Funky Winkerbean books, one on alcoholism, one on breast cancer. and Running Press is offering the Complete MAD Don Martin in October, two volumes, $150.
