July 20: J-Film: My Little Sweet Pea
July 13: Warren Bernard talk at Library of Congress
From Warren:
I will give a lecture about the home front during World War Two as seen through cartoons and comics. Some of the topics that will be covered are air raids/blackouts, women on the assembly line, the African-American experience during the war, doing research at the LoC and other stuff about the war. All with cool (OK, I think so anyway...) cartoons & comics that have not been seen since the 1940's. Hope to see you there!!

Robin Ha's new 'Cook Korean!' graphic cookbook on NPR

Learn To Make Korean Food With A Charming Graphic Cookbook
By TOVE DANOVICH/NPR
"We are a very 100-percent-or-nothing culture," says Robin Ha, the author of a new graphic cookbook Cook Korean! Cold noodles may be served with ice to keep them frosty. Hot soups are served from a still flaming burner. Fish are often air dried or fermented.
For diners with increasingly diverse tastes, Ha believes Korean food can be quite welcoming. Much of it is easy to make and, due to the heavy use of fermentation, can last a long time without refrigeration. (Perfect for a grab and go lunch!) Most recipes don't even require an oven. "It's all sautéing or putting things in a pot to boil," Ha says.
