E porque vale a reflexão? Porque fora as habituais comparações de tamanho nestas coisas de marcar território -
MoCCA isn’t as big a platform to debut new titles as the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF), a larger independent comics show that is held in May

(Ou, aquilo do Amadora e Beja lá para as Américas.)
- e outras considerações banais, pelo meio encontramos esta pérola que queremos partilhar/destacar:
One aspect of the show that has been expanded this year is sponsorship. In addition to the School of Visual Arts, WACOM (which produces digital drawing devices), and RISO (a printer company), new sponsors included the crowdfunding platform Patreon (which uses monthly payments from patrons to fund creators.) Patreon flew in two successful Web cartoonists who had gotten funding through the company.

Todos aqueles sensíveis ao cruzamento de BD em digital nas webs não terão deixado passar em branco o significado do excerto acima. Num mesmo parágrafo: $$$, academia, artes, Wacom para os digitais, RICO para os papeis - andámos por lá há pouco tempo atrás -, massas populares -duplo “pun intented” no "massas"-, novas tecnologias online e webcartoonists? Caros, brincam? Só nos falta ler que se juntaram todos no final para um deboche de BD anti-nazi que terminava com o espetar dos lápis e stylus rabo acima dum Spencer de serviço que calhou a passar por lá para o fds ser completo.
A luta continua :)
E, é "continua", não "contínua". Ninguém reparou nas últimas newsletters que o urs trully continua a assassinar o PT? Ai ai, aquilo da atenção, senhores...
Não nos escapa a ironia de ser uma crowd of one.
