How Comics Were Made: Live on Kickstarter!
Hello!
How Comics Were Made is now live on Kickstarter! For the next 48 hours, you can get a special early-bird bundle of the print edition and ebook edition for one low price. Check out the campaign, and let me know if you have any questions or see the list of livestream events below!
I’ve planned a series of livestream events on YouTube that you can click through to get a reminder about (you can watch later, too):
Tuesday, 27 February 9:30 am PST: Tune in to ask questions about comics history and the book, as I show printing artifacts and other material.
Wednesday, 28 February 12:30 pm PST: I talk with Benjamin Clark, curator of the Charles M Schulz Museum, about working with an artist’s life work and telling stories about cartooning and cartoonists through objects.
Tuesday, 5 March 10 am PST: Georgia Dunn, “Breaking Cat News,” got into syndication with her strip just a few years ago. We talk about her watercolor approach to her work, the challenges of mixing digital and analog, and the landscape of syndication.
March 12 at 10 am PST: John “Derf” Backderf (“The City”, My Friend Dahmer, Kent State) and Glenn chat about Derf’s work and career, and his early years at newspapers, coloring comics and illustrating and editorializing the news.
As promised, this list is extremely low volume. The next email will appear several weeks from now, if the Kickstarter has funded and the book is available for direct pre-order.
