Full set of photos here.

Last weekend the three women of Cartoonists With Attitude (Jen Sorensen, Stephanie McMillan and Mikhaela Reid) spent the weekend in Cambridge, MA at the Center for New Words' fabulous annual Women, Action & the Media (WAM) conference. We attended fantastic panels and hang with/meet fabulous women such as the editors of Feministing.com, Bitch magazine, Campus Progress, In These Times, The American Prospect and other assorted fine publications. And we did our panel thing with a slideshow called Resistance Through Ridicule, which even featured a surprise guest, cartoonist/illustrator Jennifer Cruté.

The overall experience was, in Jen's words, completely "Wamtastic!" As you can see from these photos.

I should note that we also had drinks with the one and only creator of Big Fat Whale, CWAer Brian McFadden, but I neglected to capture him on digital film.

I will concur with Stephanie that it only took five minutes of being in the same room before Jen, Stephanie and I found ourselves talking about fonts and PhotoShop. Oh, cartoonists!
