MICE, the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, was founded in 2010 to focus on the artists—with creators selling their own works and presenting talks and workshops. Below are some delightful people and art we saw at the free-admission event that was held at Lesley University’s University Hall, 1815 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, on Oct. 19 and 20, 2019.
