Richard Thompson (1957-2016)—one his generation's greatest cartoonists and caricaturists—was beloved by readers and fellow artists alike. Pat Oliphant called him "Michelangelo with a sense of humor," and Bill Watterson, who had not said anything publicly in almost 20 years, sent out a note crediting Thompson with "giving me a reason to read the comics again." A short documentary celebrating Thompson's art and generous spirit will be followed by a conversation among Thompson's long-time intimates—his close friend and fellow cartoonist Nick Galifianakis, Shena Wolf, who is the Uclick acquisitions editor and was Richard's editor on Cul De Sac, as well as friend and art historian David Apatoff—concluding with an opportunity for questions and reflections from the audience. Moderated by publisher (Lost Art Books) and editor of the forthcoming Richard Thompson Library series, Joseph Procopio.

"I only wish that I gave myself a chance to actually do what I wanted to do even sooner."
I spoke this week with comic book artist Robin Ha, whose new book, Cook Korean!: A Comic Book with Recipes, came out early last month. Robin is a Korean immigrant who is formally trained in illustration, but who has continually pushed herself to #dothething throughout her life -- from moving to the U.S. and learning English, to learning to cook, to writing a whole damn book. Robin and I talk about the limitations we often put on ourselves when it comes to creative work, how cooking is similar to painting, and how most Asian mother-daughter relationships are very, very similar.
