[SPEAKER_00]: A message we can definitely get behind.

00:50.425 --> 00:55.452

00:55.432 --> 01:06.546
[SPEAKER_00]: The annual event is much more about awareness of causes that were important to Eisner than celebrating the creators specifically, with the goal being to raise awareness of the intersection between free speech and sequential art.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's not.

02:10.491 --> 02:11.793
