NOT AT QUIMBY’S: The Not-So-Funny Situation of Alternative Comix

The Chicago Humanities Festival is presenting this panel and we thought you might be interested. It’s not a Quimby’s, nor are we connected to this.

But we thought you’d dig it anyway:

The Not-So-Funny Situation of Alternative Comix

If print is dead, what will become of serialized alternative comics? The Chicago Reader’s Michael Miner examines the crisis with celebrated comics aritists Jules Feiffer, Chris Ware, and Lynda Barry.

Saturday, Nov. 7; 4:30 pm, Francis W Parker School, 2233 N Clark St., Chicago
