Tonight: Gengoroh Tagame - My Brother's Husband, Volume 2
Gengoroh Tagame - My Brother's Husband, Volume 2 — presented with Anne Ishii — at Politics and Prose at Union Market
Tuesday, October 9, 2018 - 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Tagame is one of Japan's most influential gay manga artists and was one of the first to come out. He won the prestigious Japan Media Arts Award for Outstanding Work of Manga and a 2018 Eisner Award for the opening volume of My Brother's Husband. In this break-out work, he introduced Yaichi, his daughter Kana, and Mike, the widowed Canadian husband of Yaichi's late twin brother, Ryoji. While Kana and her mother immediately took to Mike, Yaichi, like Japan, was slower to shake his homophobia. In this sequel, Yaichi is still wary, but slowly grows closer to his brother-in-law as the two men trade memories of the different Ryojis they knew. Tagame will be presenting with his translator Anne Ishii, executive director of Asian Arts Initiative.

Flugennocks' Latest'n'Greatest: "Pussy Hats II: This Time, It's Brunch"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist, MIke Fluggenock
"Pussy Hats II: This Time, It's Brunch"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2612
Imagine my delight when I learned that the Million Hillary March was
going to be returning here to Washington, DC next January – a fresh,
new blue wave of vindictiveness, bitterness, denial, exploitation, and
all the goddamn astroturf you can handle. Why, the very thought of all
this vibrant feminist energy makes me want to charge into the streets
and ask to speak to the manager.
Imagine also my amusement to discover that this chickenshit outfit has
actually published an "oral history" with the assistance of their
comrades at Condé Nast, which is about as grassroots as you can get,
kids. Two whole epic years of demonstrative Liberal indignation,
laying astroturf, and accomplishing absolute zero – now, there's some
serious-ass oral history. Hot damn, hold me back.

They remain one of the most engaging and compelling stories in the entertainment business, with a continuing impact on journalism, film, TV, and advertising.
