Well, there's not a whole lot going on in terms of comics-focused events in the New York and Philadelphia area this week that I know of, but I'd be remiss if I didn't flag three items that might be of interest…

The Dare2Draw is a non-profit mentoring and networking platform for artists of all levels, providing opportunities to connect with each other, face-to-face, and encouraging good health and business practices for cartoonists. Established artists and arts organizations meet in a supportive setting, putting the art back in sequential art. There are contests and prizes, with a fun and engaging game show vibe. We'll continue to showcase new artists to keep an eye out for!"

Ongoing Until Friday, January 2nd

Escape Pod Comics at 302 Main Street, Huntington, Long Island, New York, are hosting their "Why Are All The Other Stores Closed??" event featuring massive sales. They say: "From the Dec. 26th – Jan. 2nd: More deals! It all depends on what moves on the 25th but the 35%, 50% and 75% off sections will certainly still be here".
