PeePee PooPoo #1 Release Party
with Caroline Cash, Gina Wynbrandt, & Bonnie Guerra
Sat, Aug 23rd, 7:30pm at Quimby’s Bookstore
1854 W. North Ave, Chicago

Congrats to Caroline Cash! Her comic PeePee PooPoo won an Eisner for Best Limited Series! As a Quimby’s alum, we’re awfully proud of her. She’ll come back to Quimby’s this month to celebrate the release of PeePee PooPoo #1!

Four issues into the series and we finally get PeePee PooPoo #1! Was it time travel, or a marketing move? The world may never know! In this issue: Caroline discovers a fresh start is surprisingly hard to make in “Ah, Philly.” Romance blossoms in “First Date,” a classic Alison Bechdel comic gets an update in “Femme and Butch,” and a night out turns complicated in “Stoned Again.” Caroline Cash’s gay, modern take on the ‘60s underground comic continues to make readers say “hell yeah.”

Join us in store at Quimby’s on Fri, August 23rd at 7:30pm with readings by Caroline Cash, Gina Wynbrandt, and Bonnie Guerra!
