A panelist for a discussion at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (SHIELD) had to drop out, so I got a call asking if I'd pinch hit at the last minute. Can I help out? Am I there for a friend in a tight spot? Every time.
The official topic:
The Future of the Traditional Comic Strip in the Era of Dying Newspapers
But I ain't talking about anything traditional or dying. I'll be talking about tweets, monogamous gibbons, boing boing, smuggler's cape, kanye west, dr. scholl's, and whatever you ask about.
Bring your curiosity, your thirst for entertainment, and cash, because I'll be bringing some long out-of-print impossible-to-find Tom the Dancing Bug books for sale at rounded-up cover prices.
Provide proof that you follow me on twitter or facebook, and you win the right to buy me a beer afterward.
