SPX 2023 Programming

previously published and not included on the playlist below:

SPX 2023: Depicting Viscerality In Sports And Wrestling

Teppi Zuppo (mod), Ed Luce (Wuvable Oaf), Rob Ullman (Old-Timey Hockey Tales), and Tanya Dorph-Mankey

There is dazzling skill in hockey, from the speed of the skaters to their deft work with the stick. There is magnificent spectacle in pro wrestling, with a vast array of high-flying maneuvers and gnarly-looking submissions. What they have in common is the sheer, visceral thrill of contact. Moderator Teppi Zuppo asks Ed Luce (Wuvable Oaf), Rob Ullman (Old-Timey Hockey Tales), and Tanya Dorph-Mankey (The Plight of Orange Cassidy) how they convey this feeling of impact in a two-dimensional form.

SPX 2023: Queer Friendship Spaces

Rob Kirby (mod) Lawrence Lindell (Blackward), Emma Jayne (Trans Girls on the Town), Archie Bongiovanni (The Greasebats, Mimosa), and Al Varela (Young, Dumb, and Queer).

For many queer authors, the depiction of friendships and romances goes beyond the people involved. It specifically extends to the physical spaces they hang out, can feel safe, and creative traditions. Whether it's clubs, cafes, bars, rec rooms or beyond, the spaces themselves tell a story. Moderator Rob Kirby talks about these spaces with Lawrence Lindell (Blackward), Emma Jayne (Trans Girls on the Town), Archie Bongiovanni (The Greasebats, Mimosa), and Al Varela (Young, Dumb, and Queer).

SPX 2023: SOLRADio Live: Joel Priddy's First There Was Chaos

Alex Hoffman (mod), Rob Clough and Thomas Campbell along with artist Joel Priddy

A live version of the SOLRADio podcast, the show where SOLRAD critics take a deep dive on a single book. Moderator Alex Hoffman joins Rob Clough and Thomas Campbell along with artist Joel Priddy as they ask him about his new book, First There Was Chaos.

SPX 2023: The Mechanics of Writer/Artist Teams

Warren Bernard (mod), Mariko & Jillian Tamaki (Roaming) and Karl Christian Krumpholz & Jonathan Baylis. 

Writer-artist teams are common in alternative comics, but there are certainly a few highly successful pairings. Foremost among them are Ignatz Award winners Mariko & Jillian Tamaki (Roaming) and Karl Christian Krumpholz & Jonathan Baylis. Moderator Warren Bernard finds out how each team functions, the process of creation, and other fine details of collaboration.

SPX 2023: Philosophies Of Comics Teaching

Cuyler Keating Hedlund (mod), Justin Hall (CCA), Emma Jensen (SAW), Jason Little (SVA), Laurenn McCubbin (CCAD), and Daryl Seichik (freelancer who works for CCS)
SmallPressExpo  Nov 22, 2023
An art school experience focused on comics is a relatively new phenomenon. What do different educators prioritize in terms of their pedagogical philosophies? Moderator Cuyler Keating Hedlund joins artists and educators Justin Hall (CCA), Emma Jensen (SAW), Jason Little (SVA), Laurenn McCubbin (CCAD), and Daryl Seichik (freelancer who works for CCS) as they compare notes on how they approach teaching.

SPX 2023: Subgenres of the Memoir

Paul Gravett (mod) Eddie Campbell, MariNaomi, Elizabeth Trembley, and Kayla E

Memoir comics have expanded from simply depicting personal narratives to dipping into the tropes of other genres. Paul Gravett moderates a panel of memoirists whose work spills over into different storytelling styles. The artists are Eddie Campbell (the meta-memoir The Second Fake Death Of Eddie Campbell), MariNaomi (the mystery-memoir I Thought You Loved Me), Elizabeth Trembley (the multiple points of view narrative Look Again), and Kayla E. (the reclaimed-image memoir Precious Rubbish).

SPX 2023: Spotlight On Raeghan Buchanan


Raeghan Buchanan is an artist, writer, and musician whose book, The Secret History Of Black Punk: Record Zero is a fascinating deep dive into the lives and careers of trailblazing Black musicians who have been unjustly forgotten. Moderator Dr. Rachel Miller goes into depth with Raeghan on her book and her background.

SPX 2023: Live Performance Of The Ardent by Carl Antonowicz


A multimedia one-man live reading of a new graphic novel by Carl Antonowicz, featuring live sound effects and projected images from the book! When the silent monk Odulf is tasked with transporting the jeweled bones of his order's patron saint, he jumps at the chance. But the road ahead is filled with sorrow, danger, and iniquity. Will Odulf make it through? Recommended for mature audiences.

SPX 2023: Dancing About Architecture: Depicting Other Arts Through Comics

Craig Fischer (mod.), Reinhard Kleist (Starman), Leslie Stein (Brooklyn's Last Secret), Keren Katz (The Academic Hour), and Andrew White (Together and Apart)

Comics' unique combination of word and image allows them to not only create their own immersive worlds but also to effectively comment on other arts. Finding ways to depict music, dance, literature, and other arts is a fascinating challenge for many cartoonists. Moderator Dr. Craig Fischer joins cartoonists Reinhard Kleist (Starman), Leslie Stein (Brooklyn's Last Secret), Keren Katz (The Academic Hour), and Andrew White (Together and Apart) to discuss their own efforts drawing comics about other art forms

SPX 2023: New Approaches to Nonfiction: Pushing the Form

Francesca Lyn, Dan Nott (Hidden Systems), Whit Taylor (The Greater Good), Box Brown (Tetris, Cannabis), and Briana Loewinsohn

This panel will focus on creators using innovative approaches to the form in their nonfiction comics. Working on topics ranging from history, journalism, graphic medicine and neuroscience, cartoonists will discuss how nonfiction comics can explore the most exciting possibilities of the form. Moderator Dr. Francesca Lyn will join Dan Nott (Hidden Systems), Whit Taylor (The Greater Good), Box Brown (Tetris, Cannabis), and Briana Loewinsohn (Ephemera) as they discuss their approaches to nonfiction narratives.

SPX 2023: Carousel: Comics Performances

This special edition of Carousel at SPX features exhibiting artists and guests, performing live. Join us for an audio-visual journey to the place where comics and performance collide! Featuring: Lawrence Lindell (Blackward), Breena Nuñez (The Nib, The New Yorker), Jonathan Baylis (So Buttons), Robyn Smith (Wash Day Diaries), Kayla E (Precious Rubbish). and R. Sikoryak (Constitution Illustrated).

SPX 2023: The Difficulty Of Simplicity: Writing For Young Readers

Meg Lemke, Rodrigo Vargas & Coni Yovaniniz (The Do-Over), Miranda Harmon (Mayor Good Boy), Leigh Luna (Clementine Fox and the Great Island Adventure), and Shauna J. Grant

Writing comics aimed at young readers requires an incredible level of craft. Not only is a cartoonist's toolbox limited in terms of subject matter, they must also be able to make it easy for kids to understand the art of comics. Moderator Meg Lemke explores the joys and difficulties of writing for young kids with Rodrigo Vargas & Coni Yovaniniz (The Do-Over), Miranda Harmon (Mayor Good Boy), Leigh Luna (Clementine Fox and the Great Island Adventure), and Shauna J. Grant (Mimi and the Cutie Catastrope).

SPX 2023: MariNaomi and Rob Kirby In Conversation with Justin Hall


Rob Kirby has been a crucial part of the queer comics scene for over three decades, both as a cartoonist for his Curbside Boys series as well as an editor and publisher. His latest book, Marry Me A Little, focuses on what led to getting married after it was legalized for queer couples. He'll be joined by cartoonist and organizer MariNaomi, whose new book, I Thought You Loved Me, is an intriguing mix of memoir and mystery. Educator and cartoonist Justin Hall will delve into their new books and other topics with them.

SPX 2023: History On The Ground: Personal Accounts

Eleri Mai Harris (mod), Ana Penyas (We're All Just Fine), Derf (Kent State), Tracy White (Unaccompanied), and Michael Cherkas

When history books are written, they rarely take into account how momentus events affect individuals. Eleri Mai Harris (The Nib) discusses how larger historical events informed the personal stories told by the panelists. Join Ana Penyas (We're All Just Fine), Derf (Kent State), Tracy White (Unaccompanied), and Michael Cherkas (Red Harvest) as they reveal personal and unexamined perspectives on History.

SPX 2023: Comics and Tarot: Pages And Panels

Shing Yin Khor, Isabella Rotman, Coco Fox, and Kevin Jay Stanton with moderator Alice Santos

From spiritual practice to party game, many artists have found a home in tarot and other forms of cartomancy. Join Shing Yin Khor, Isabella Rotman, Coco Fox, and Kevin Jay Stanton with moderator Alice Santos to talk comics, creating decks, and the interplay between the two.

SPX 2023: Fish Out Of Water Science Fiction

Moderator Ana Merino joins panelists Tyrell Waiters (Vern, Custodian Of The Universe), Hannah Templer (Cosmoknights), Casey Nowak (Bodyseed), and Julia Gootzeit

What happens when you wake up one day and your normal existence has completely changed? When you get a job and wind up cleaning black holes? When the soil you're investigating has a mind of its own? When you're recruited from a backwater planet for a noble quest? Moderator Ana Merino joins panelists Tyrell Waiters (Vern, Custodian Of The Universe), Hannah Templer (Cosmoknights), Casey Nowak (Bodyseed), and Julia Gootzeit (Golem Pit 224) to discuss how their characters find themselves in alarming new settings.

SPX 2023: Spotlight on Bill Griffith and Three Rocks: The Story Of Ernie Bushmiller


Bill Griffith is a legend of the underground comics era, co-editing Arcade and syndicated his surreal Zippy The Pinhead strip for nearly fifty years. His new book, Three Rocks: The Story Of Ernie Bushmiller, is his latest graphic novel, detailing the creator of Nancy's life and the influence that strip had on him. He'll be joined in conversation by writer, historian, and critic Paul Gravett, made immortal as "The Man At The Crossroads" by Eddie Campbell.

SPX 2023: Gay Shit, Kink Shit, And King Shit

Moderator J.A. Micheline will join artists Shannon Wright (Twins), Ngozi Ukazu (Check, Please!), Rebecca Mock (Die Horny), Casey Nowak (Bodyseed), and Rosemary Valero-O'Connell

This panel will explore queerness and kink in comics, with a specific eye to how yaoi (and other queer comic traditions) have influenced the work of American cartoonists — or not! The discussion will emphasize each of the featured cartoonists' personal history with yaoi and queer comics, the structural lessons taken from these works, and where they would like to see queer comics go next. Moderator J.A. Micheline will join artists Shannon Wright (Twins), Ngozi Ukazu (Check, Please!), Rebecca Mock (Die Horny), Casey Nowak (Bodyseed), and Rosemary Valero-O'Connell (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up WIth Me) in the panel.

SPX 2023: Birth, Blood, Loss, And Love: Celebrate A Mutha-Decade

Leela Corman, Glynnis Fawkes, Summer Pierre, Whit Taylor, and Pam Wye, moderated by MUTHA editor-in-chief Meg Lemke.
SmallPressExpo   Nov 22, 2023
Join cartoonists who take a radical , unexpected look at becoming parents (or longing to), from all angles. Their comics take on the tension of balancing art, work, and family; candid stories of heartache and humor living with kids; the blood and guts of birth; the taboo of loss and grief; grappling with families of origin and identity; and more. Ten years ago, the alternative online zine MUTHA launched, from its outset a place for comics in conversation with essays, poetry, and other hybrid work. Comics from the site have been shortlisted for the Eisners, won Ignatz awards, and become books, as MUTHA's remained a home for experimentation and community for artists in the sometimes messy transitioning to parenting. There are still folks in the often clique-y art world who claim you can have an artist's life or a family, and MUTHA explodes that false dichotomy. Featuring Leela Corman, Glynnis Fawkes, Summer Pierre, Whit Taylor, and Pam Wye, moderated by MUTHA editor-in-chief Meg Lemke.

SPX 2023: Horror Of The Everyday

Rachel S. Miller along with panelists Nicole Goux (Pet Peeves), Julia Gfrörer (Too Dark To See, Vision), Beth Hetland (Tender), and King Ray

Sometimes, the most effective horror stories aren't about jump scares and blood. Sometimes, they spring out of mundane and everyday situations, slowly turning reality into something terrifying. Be it a dog that slowly takes over someone's life, demons silently interfering with a couple, or a woman's desperate need for motherhood driving her to terrifying extremes, the horror of the everyday is often the most terrifying because it feels so familiar. Join moderator Dr. Rachel S. Miller along with panelists Nicole Goux (Pet Peeves), Julia Gfrörer (Too Dark To See, Vision), Beth Hetland (Tender), and King Ray (Phonestoned) as they explore their own takes on horror.

That darn Mike Du Jour

'Mike Du Jour' has seen better days

Steven Alan Honley, Washington

Washington Post (November 25 2023): A15.

online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/24/israel-gaza-parenting-camping-congress-whigs/

For four decades, I've enjoyed the variety of styles and subject matter represented in the comics section. I still mourn the decision to cut the comics from three pages to two. There are a few strips I skip over, and sadly, "Mike Du Jour" has joined their ranks.

That's not because Mike Lester is a conservative cartoonist. I actually enjoy Scott Stantis's "Prickly City," which started out as extremely right-wing but has mellowed over the years. It's because Lester's cleverness has curdled into cheap shots. He recently devoted a week of the strip to equating Black Lives Matter with the black bear that broke into a freezer to eat lasagna. And the Nov. 13 "Mike Du Jour" calls the American Ornithological Society "birdbrained" for its decision to change the appellations of birds that had been named for enslavers and racists.

I'm not asking The Post to pull the strip, but I urge editors to ask themselves whether Lester's brand of humor belongs in its lineup. My answer would be no.

That darn Baldo

Versos sinceros [Baldo letter]

James S. Noe, Gaithersburg

Washington Post (November 25 2023): A15.

I was delighted when I saw the Nov. 5 "Baldo" comic strip, which depicted a family singing "Guantanamera" in Spanish.

For an even more uplifting experience of that delightful song, listen to the Playing for Change performance of "Guantanamera." It features more than 75 Cuban musicians. Conveniently, for those who can't speak Spanish, including me, the captions are in English.

Dec 2-3 Mattie Lubchansky - Jamie Noguchi & Danielle Corsetto at Fantom Comics

>>> QUEER BOOK CLUB & AUTHOR SIGNING: BOYS WEEKEND WITH MATTIE LUBCHANSKY!
>> SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2nd @ 3pm

In-person author event alert! In collaboration with DC Trans Book Club we're hosting award-winning cartoonist Mattie Lubchansky to discuss & sign their graphic novel BOYS WEEKEND, available at Fantom now!

Part satire, part horror, Boys Weekend explores what it's like to exist as a transfemme person in a man's world, the difficulty of maintaining friendships through transition, and the more cult-like effects of masculinity, "hustle" culture, and capitalism—all through the vibrant lens of a surreal, scary, and immensely imaginative romp.

Fantom is on the 2nd floor, up 23 stairs. Masks encouraged.

Get a copy of BOYS WEEKEND in-store or on our website here: https://stores.comichub.com/fantom_comics/products/boys-weekend-hardcover-graphic-novel-mature-

>>> AUTHOR EVENT & SIGNING: SCHOOL FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL GIRLS w/ JAMIE NOGUCHI & DANIELLE CORSETTO!
>> SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3rd @ 3pm!

The students of SCHOOL FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL GIRLS soar again! Join longtime Fantom friend Jamie Noguchi & Danielle Corsetto at FANTOM COMICS for a launch celebration and signing of volume 2 of the hit coming-of-age sci-fi adventure!

FROM VOLUME 1:

Tara Smith's parents are super strict with all their rules and routines, and Tara is a dutiful daughter. Rule #1: No friends her own age. Rule #2: keep her bracelet on, or else. But when she breaks her routine—and then loses her bracelet—she's in trouble.

Now outed as an extraterrestrial after wielding fire and losing her humanoid form, Tara is captured by the government. She's given two options: get shipped far away where she won't be a danger to anyone or stay on Earth and join a school for other extraterrestrial girls like her. Things at the school aren't easy—especially for the girl whose only friends were textbooks. But Tara's goal to learn how to control her powers is soon sidelined by the discovery that the people she's called Mom and Dad all these years aren't her parents.

Copies of the books will be available for purchase at the event!

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Rules-Based Order"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"Rules-Based Order"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3739

To think that all the arduous years I spent assiduously avoiding 
dropping a "fallen and can't get up" gag could be undone by this 
single column at The Cradle last week. If Amerika's imperial 
batshittery in Ukraine hasn't totally wrecked our rep with the rest of 
the Earth, than our enabling Israeli butchery in Palestine pretty much 
ripped our mask the rest of the way off.

We've fallen, and we can't get up.
