I think it's weird people want to interview me on the subject of political cartooning when there are several other cartoonists available who love talking. But I've done at least two since last October. I did this one with Jim Morrissey, an award-winning Editorial Cartoonist for the Colorado Sun, several months ago, but I can't remember when exactly.

I had fun talking to Jim and he let me curse. He asked a few questions I haven't been asked in an interview before. I like doing podcasts and I may even put together one for this blog but oddly enough, I never listen to them.

Fantagraphic's SPX plans

Fantagraphics is headed to Small Press Expo on September 14th-15th! We'll be at tables W51-55 along with Special Guests Carol Lay (My Time Machine), Beth Hetland (Tender), Laura Pérez (Ocultos), and Stan Mack (Stan Mack's Real Life Funnies: The Collected Conceits, Delusions, and Hijinks of New Yorkers from 1974 to 1995). We'll have a table full of our newest books (including some titles that aren't out yet), new merch, and plenty of signings–check out the schedule on our blog!

Speaking of SPX, Time Under Tension by M.S. Harkness was nominated for the Ignatz Award for Outstanding Graphic Novel—request a ballot here!

Monica Gallagher's SPX plans

I also compiled my short comic about coming out as bi into a mini-comic, which I'll have debuting at RCCC, and then at SPX!

SPEAKING OF SPX, my beloved, my cherished friend - it is happening Sept. 14th & 15th in Rockville, MD (are we still trying to make "North Bethesda" happen?). I'll be tabling next to Longtime Friend Lovelies Jamie Noguchi & Danielle Corsetto, and though I'll only have a half table I'm FILLING IT TO THE GILLS.

With stuff like this!

Maryland & Virginia Cryptids galllloooooore!
