Three More Cartoonists from Our Syllabus Come to Town

Breaking news from the PEN/Faulkner Foundation:

On November 9 at the DCJCC, the PEN/Faulkner Foundation will sponsor a discussion, moderated by Dan Raeburn, with Lynda Barry, Alison Bechdel, and Chris Ware. All four are authors represented on our syllabus, and we will have recently finished reading graphic novels by Barry and Bechdel and will be just about to start Ware's Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth. I've added a link about this event to the "Comics In DC (Events & Organizations" list on the right side of the blog, but you can also click here to go directly from this post. (As of right now, the page only lists Barry & Ware, but I have been informed that Bechdel has recently confirmed for this event as well.)

I'm waiting to hear if a student discount will be available to us. Even if not, the tickets for this event shouldn't be too expensive. Still, cross your fingers for savings!
