Current events reminded me of strip I wrote a few years ago for The Nib.

Comic News
I have a few events lined up over the coming weeks.
9/26, 11AM “Cartooning Lessons” at the Middletown Public Library Children in Grades 3 and up can enjoy a funny and informative presentation explaining the nuts & bolts of making comics, and the importance of starting and maintaining your own creative practice. Following the 20-minute slideshow, kids can create their own cartoon avatar, and tell their own story using comics, all inside the Cartooning Lessons workbook.
10/2, all-day event, I’ll be at The Children’s Festival at the Maplewood South Orange Book Festival autographing copies of The Fifth Quarter.
10/8, 11AM-4PM, I’ll be at the Princeton Children’s Book Festival at the Princeton Public Library.
New ‘zine
