AIGA Event In Brooklyn, Wed. June 4th
Here's one that freaks me out for various reasons:

On Wednesday, June 4th, Dan Nadel will moderate a discussion on comics featuring Kim Deitch, Lauren R. Weinstein and myself. The event is being put together by the NY chapter of AIGA,  which is apparently a professional graphic artists association whose membership is made up of professional graphic artists. Like I would know about that stuff. I had to leave the Nestle's Quik fan club because I couldn't keep up with my dues. Anyway,  it will be held at Galapagos, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and costs $30 for non-members to attend. I don't think I'll be seeing many familiar faces at this one, I can't get my readers to cough up thirty beans for my artwork half the time, forget shelling it out to hear me talk about my artwork. Or whatever it is we're going to talk about. Juxtaposition or something. Formal attributes of the thought balloon. Who's stronger, Hulk or Superman? Who knows.

I will wear my non-cursing mouth and try to behave myself. I'm not sure why I was asked to do this, considering how many cartoonists run amok in the NYC area, but, well, I'll show up and see what happens.

Kim Deitch!? Wow. That's crazy. And then I'm on a panel with Jaime Hernandez at Heroes Con later in the month. Crazy.

Details about the AIGA talk can be found here.

That sounds like an odd but nice mix. Kim is pretty awesome. Dan is a pretty organized guy, so i am sure he will have some good talking points. If not, you can always just ask Kim questions about Abby Hoffman being a douche.

More like "or something". I couldn't afford to go see myself.

Of course the Hulk is stronger than superman. The madder the Hulk gets, the stronger he gets. Superman never gets mad. ;)

If by chance I'm up for MoCCA a few days early or, dare I think it, back in town for good by then, perhaps I'll try to make this. Don't you dare leave your cursing mouth at home. Galapagos is a happenin' venue, and you and Lauren are two of my favorite yids in comics. Have you ever seen her band? They're fucking crazy. In the good way, I assure you.
