Dan Clowes at Politics and Prose pictures

101_0113

I forgot my notes for this at work today - perhaps tomorrow I can put up some of the highlights. In the meantime, here are my pictures. I'd especially like to note that Daniel stayed from 7 - 10:40 pm - he made sure everyone on line got a sketch in a book.

And apparently everyone in DC interviewed him too - I like my interview best of course, but here's another -

DCist Interview: Daniel Clowes
Written by DCist Contributor Allen Brooks
April 30 2010

and another by the Post freelancer who did an excellent job interviewing him at P&P -

Panel Discussion: Daniel Clowes covers cartoon history in one graphic novel, By Dan Kois, published May 2, 2010.

There was a somewhat atypical crowd this time - I saw Martha Kennedy of the Library of Congress' cartoon collection, Larry Rodman the former Comics Journal reporter, Michael Wenthe an American University professor, Hank Stuever the Washington Post's Style reporter, Randy Tischler this blog's co-writer and publicity man for the Baltimore Comic-Con, book collector and Herblock specialist Warren Bernard and a cartoonist for the Times of India whom I didn't get to meet.

Coming soon! Later today or tomorrow. I was waiting for a recording from Politics and Prose, but their machine screwed up so I'll have to rely on the notes I scribbled on the back of a copy of Politico.
