Probably Mr. Squibly, a gum drop headed every man type. Made at over a dozen mini comics with him. Also DC Creepers, which is a long running action sketching project I've been working on.

The American Museum of Tort Law (AMTL), is proud to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Matt Wuerker, and Hall of Fame The New Yorker magazine cartoonist/illustrator Barry Blitt for a special daylong Program – 'If It Doesn't Please the Court: Two Ink-Stained Wretches on the Art of Political Satire.'
Consumer protection pioneer and AMTL Founder Ralph Nader, will join Blitt and Wuerker on the Program.
The Program will include: a WORKSHOP on cartooning/illustration, led by both Wuerker and Blitt; a PRESENTATION by them as well as Nader; and a MEET & GREET with the speakers.
11:00 am workshop
1:00 pm program
Rick Newman, Executive Director of the AMTL: "One of the coolest things about political satire is that it's an expression of freedom, and a visual representation of the law as protector of that freedom and of people's rights. So, this Program is a great fit for the Mission of the AMTL."
Emma Watson plays Belle in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, a live-action remake of the 1991 animated film.
Tale as old as tiiiiiiime ...
By which, of course, I mean "tired people return from South By Southwest."
But in any event: this week's show kicks off with a discussion with our pal Katie Presley of Bitch Media about the live-action version of Disney's Beauty And The Beast. How are the candlesticks? How's the new music? And, as Katie wonders, is there adequate eroticism within the Beast, compared to the cartoon Beast who set Katie's young heart aflutter so many years ago? And what's the Les Miz-iest part of the Beast's new tune, anyway?
Imagine how frustrated you'd be if you worked for a wizard and never learning any magic! The Knight knows this feeling well, and he's determined to change it. His plan is simple: find a book of spells, whip up a potion, steal the wizard's wand, and presto! Making magic should be a piece of cake. But the Knight and his trusty sidekick, Edward, may be in over their heads when they try to cast a tricky transformation spell. Alexis Frederick-Frost joins Politics and Prose at Takoma Park Library to talk about this fun-filled adventure for young graphic novel readers. Ages 6 to 9.

Even the origin stories have an origin story.
For over 50 years, Jack Kirby was the driving force behind the most iconic comic book characters in American pop culture. This is the story of the work that made the marvels.
Aside from Kirby, most actors will likely play multiple roles, not listed here, of different ages and in different decades
Jack Kirby: Jewish-American New Yorker, comic book artist. A single-minded, artistic innovator. Ages from young man to 74 during the action of the show. Artistic ability a plus, as the character is supposed to be drawing live during the show.
Stan Lee: Legendary comic book writer, ambitious friend/sometimes-rival/foil to Jack. Ages from young intern to the head of Marvel Comics during the action of the show.
Roz: Wife of Jack for 54 years until his death. She was always by his side, literally and figuratively: through his time as a soldier in WWII, as the mother of his four children, and even helping ink comics during the early stages of his career.
Joe Simon: Editor who gives Kirby his big break.
Victor Fox/Martin Goodman: fellow comic book artist/ Jack's publisher
