March 9: Jaime Hernandez - Is This How You See Me? in conversation with Sarah Boxer

Jaime Hernandez - Is This How You See Me? in conversation with Sarah Boxer


Saturday, March 9, 2019 - 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

With his brothers Gilbert and Mario, Jaime Hernandez created Love and Rockets, one of the first comics to appear in the 1980s alternative comics movement. Hernandez has continued and expanded that series with his award-winning Locas narrative, chronicling the lives of a group of Latinas from their teenage years to today. Following 2014's Love Bunglers, the latest installment gathers all the Locas work Hernandez has published serially over the last four years, tracking the story of Maggie and Hopey as they make a pilgrimage back to their old neighborhood, relive the early days of their relationship, and re-experience several decades worth of exuberance and heartbreak. Hernandez will be in conversation with Sarah Boxer, cartoonist and critic with pieces in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and more.

Marc Singer on teaching Love & Rockets

Week 10: Gilbert Hernandez, Human Diastrophism
April 12, 2010

My classes' reactions to "Human Diastrophism" have changed over the years, and mostly for the better. Seven or eight years ago a few of my students were awfully interested in branding the women of Palomar as "sluts." - click thru the link to see what Marc's current students got out of it.

Marc Singer on the new Love & Rockets

See his review on his blog. I read the comic yesterday - I'm still not sure what to make of it. Jaime's artwork was lovely, but as surreal as his strips ever have been.
