[November 7th, 2026] Last year’s Small Run Comix Fest happened right around the time we came together to create CHUM News, and it left us with a great deal of inspiration, stickers, and zines. It also immediately became an earmarked event to cover when it rolled back around the next year, through our ongoing Sketchy Stuff series.

This year we arrived right around 11am when it officially opened, but the beautiful Seattle Art Design Center (seriously, it’s an amazing space) was already packed on both floors. Tommy Teav, artist, woodworker, and longtime Chum, took to the cartoon/anime/graphic novel-jammed trade floor and made some drawings to capture the energy of the day.
