|
The Concourse in San Francisco was bursting to the seams on Saturday with APE exhibitors and attendees on three levels. |

|
Cartoonist Randall Kirby gave Batton a new look—is this a Beatnik Batton, or is he now an unofficial Hernandez Bro? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Fans who bought Supernatural Law trades received free autographed copies of this year's official APE poster, for which Batton did the illustration. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Some of the longest lines in the APE hall were at the Fantagraphics booth, which featured, among others, Dan Clowes (Ghost World) and APE special guest Charles Burns (Black Hole). |

|
APE special guest Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For) was visited by a steady stream of fans all weekend, and Jaime Hernandez (right) was one of them! |

Also seen at the Cartoon Art Museum bash were award-winning inker Steve Leialoha (Fables) and comics entrepreneur Deni Loubert. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Batton also hobnobbed with APE's other special guest, Carol Lay (Story Minute), one of his favorite cartoonists. |
The Cartoon Art Museum/CBLDF fundraiser was a good opportunity for Batton to chat with Exhibit A's Diamond purchasing manager Rob Randall. (Jackie's still really sorry about driving you all over San Francisco without getting anywhere, Rob!) |

| Things got a little blurry as the event began to wind down on Sunday afternoon, as these photos of Batton with Madison Clell (Cuckoo) and Brent Anderson (Kurt Busiek's Astro City) show! |
