Clowes West Coast Tour Starts This Week! All Things WILSON Update Including NYT Bestseller List!

Let's get the big news out of the way, WILSON landed at #3 on the New York Times Graphic Novel List last week. Now that is what I call "kick ass".

OK people, here's what is on schedule in the world of Dan Clowes this week. Here's my piece of advice, COME EARLY! Hundreds of fans have been lining up for each event, culminating with 400 people at Dan's TCAF event last Friday night, in part due to the trifecta of scoring the cover of the Eye Weekly, lead interview on Thursday's CBC: Q, and the front page of the Toronto Star's Entertainment section on the same day. Dan's slide show is wonderful, he won't be on tour again for long time, so I wouldn't miss this opportunity to see this legendary cartoonist in person.

Thursday, May 13th | 7:30 PM | Booksmith | With Glen David Gold

Friday, May 14th | 7:30 PM | Skylight Books | With Dana Gould

Sunday, May 16th | 7:30 PM | Powells on Burnside | With Greg Netzer

Here's a new update since my last one and the one before that. Reviews from Details, SF Weekly, SF Chronicle, San Diego Union Tribune, Newsday, Boston Herald, LA Weekly, Georgia Straight, Globe & Mail, Onion AV Club, Portland Mercury, thoughts from the SF Chronicle Culture Blog and interviews with The Believer, Mother Jones, EYE Weekly, CBC: Q with Jian Gomeshi (Scroll to May 5th to listen to podcast), Toronto Star, Time Out NY, Willamette Weekly, and Amazon (30-minute podcast, all I will say is less Garfield and more Peanuts!).
