“CXC 2021 turned out to be a wonderful and terrifying year—for all of us. It was the second year of the pandemic and it seemed like we were never sure if we were planning an in-person festival, a virtual online show, or if we would even have a festival at all! But thanks to the quick thinking of our team and all of our partners, we not only rode the pandemic roller coaster, we forged ahead and created a new kind of memorable event.” – Jeff Smith, CXC Co-founder and Artistic Director, cartoonist and publisher
