Montreal: Diane Obomsawin launches On Loving Women tonight!

It's a really beautiful day, isn't it, Montreal? I'm not being sarcastic. I know it's still negative degrees out there but it feels like paradise as much as February can allow. And to make this day even better, Diane Obomsawin will be launching On Loving Women tonight, Thursday February 20th, at our Librairie Drawn and Quarterly . 7pm!




Diane will be presenting On Loving Women with a signing to follow. Here's the Facebook event. See you there!



And check out this amazing review of On Loving Women at Motifri.com: "Obomsawin’s art is at turns both rough and elegant, but always simple and expressive [...] On Loving Women is a set of simple, beautiful stories, at turns sad and inspiring, banal and fantastic, designed to teach us about each other. Highly recommended."


ON LOVING WOMEN by Diane Obomsawin: in stores and on tour




Remember when we introduced you to Diane Obomsawin's intimate, charming On Loving Women last month? Well, it's now in stores everywhere and critics are love-struck! Diane's book is a series of vignettes about coming out, falling in love, and sexual identity, exploring personal accounts of women first finding love with another woman. Every story is a quiet triumph that's sure to leave you heart-eyed.






"A mix of awkward, sexy, heartbreaking, and down-right adorable...Each individual chapter feels like peeking into someone’s personal diary, each story more entrancing than the last." Sarah Karlan, Buzzfeed



"What marks these amorous vignettes is their individualism; it’s not just the same thing over and over again and yet, as with any series of love stories, it is." Hillary Brown, Paste



In her interview with Cecile Sly at WOW LGBT , Diane says "When I was young, my family moved a lot, I changed schools many times. The first thing that I would do each time is to choose a girl to fall in love with, it was my raison d’être, I would wake up thinking about the girl. It was a natural, I would even say unconscious, attraction, at that age." That sort of all-consuming attraction is found throughout On Loving Women, and is exactly what makes it so likable!



So curl up with your copy of On Loving Women (and perhaps some now-discounted Valentine's Day candies, hmm?) and then come celebrate lovin' whomever you love with Diane in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver:








MONTREAL: Diane will launch On Loving Women with a slideshow and question-and-answer period this Thursday, February 23rd, at Librairie Drawn and Quarterly.



TORONTO: Diane will present a slideshow and be interviewed by Alex Tigchelaar at The Henhouse on Friday, March 7th.



VANCOUVER: Diane will participate in an onstage conversation with Julie Maroh (Blue is the Warmest Colour) at Vancouver's Central Library on Wednesday, April 16.


Chester Brown Changed the World.






Well, the rest of the world now knows what we in comics have known for the past 25 years, all hail Chester Brown, one of the most idiosyncratic, gifted geniuses this medium has ever known. For more on this, check out Ken McGoogan's book 50 CANADIANS WHO CHANGED THE WORLD.


Hey, Brooklyn! Michael DeForge will be at Bergen Street Comics tonight!

This is it, Brooklyn. Tomorrow, Saturday February 15th, at 8:00 pm, Michael DeForge's Ant Colony tour will conclude at Bergen Street Comics . Has the award-winning cartoonist survived two weeks on the wild road? Will he turn back into a pumpkin? You can only find out if you show up.






Michael will present a slideshow with a signing and question period to follow. Do not miss the dramatic finale! RSVP on Facebook here!



"Every so often a book comes along that knocks you flat on your ass and makes you wonder where the hell you’ve been and why you haven’t seen anything like it sooner. Ant Colony is exactly that kind of book...an intensely charismatic, thoughtful, evocative little world that DeForge has filled with memorable characters, burning philosophical questions, and moments of true humanity that shine through the stylized thoraxes and angled antennae of his kooky creations. The year may be young, but I am confident when I say that this may just be the best graphic novel of 2014."–Dan Casey, Nerdist


Hey, Philly! Michael DeForge will be at Locust Moon tonight

Philly! Michael DeForge is in town tonight, Wednesday February 12th, for his amazing Ant Colony. He'll be at Locust Moon at 7pm.



Michael will be presenting a slideshow with a signing and question period to follow. This is

the second last date on the Ant Colony tour, and every event has been terrific so far. But you should show 'em who's best, Philadelphia. RSVP on Facebook here.



Tonight's event is featured on Geekadelphia, who say "Locust Moon Comics always manage to get serious talent into their shop." Seriously!


Hey Baltimore! Michael DeForge is at Atomic Books tonight!

Hey, Baltimore! Michael DeForge continues his tour for Ant Colony tonight, Tuesday February 11th, at Atomic Books - this time with special guest Yumi Sakugawa! The event begins at 7:00 pm.







Michael will be presenting a slideshow with a signing and question period to follow. Yumi Sakugawa will be presenting her new graphic novel, I Think I Am In Friend-Love With You. I think you know by now that my favourite kinds of comics events are the ones where two cartoonists have a discussion about their work. Don't miss this! You can RSVP on Facebook here.



And if you haven't already checked out Paste's 8.7/10 review of Ant Colony, in which Hillary Brown writes "A book this thought-provoking and gorgeous deserves acclaim", do so here.


In stores today: MOOMIN'S DESERT ISLAND and MOOMIN'S GOLDEN TAIL

We've got a double dose of Moomin in stores today to cure your February blahs. Moomin's Desert Island and Moomin's Golden Tail are the latest titles in our collection of full-colour Moomin books, which are a kid-friendly size, price, and format, but fun for everyone!



Here's Desert Island:




in which the entire Moomin family takes a disastrous helicopter ride,



hunt for their dinner,


explore a shipwreck,


encounters pirates, and more!




And here's Golden Tail:


in which Moomin frets over a thinning tail,


shows off his new golden one,


and learns a lesson about true friendships.




Both are heartwarming tales, both are mighty easy on the eyes and both are perfect to share with your valentine!

Alright, St. Louis, it's your turn! Michael DeForge will be at Star Clipper this afternoon, Sunday February 9th, at 4pm!






Michael will be presenting a slideshow, answering your questions, and signing copies of Ant Colony. If you're lucky, you might even get a trading card. I think it's a perfect way to spend a Sunday winter afternoon - RSVP on Facebook here!


Mental Floss named Ant Colony one of the most interesting comics of the week, saying "not only [is Ant Colony] arguably DeForge's best work, but also probably his most accessible in a beautiful hardcover format". Check out the full review.


Berkeley! Anders Nilsen and Michael DeForge are at Pegasus Books tonight!

Berkeley, we've got one helluva cartooning double bill for you. Michael DeForge and Anders Nilsen will be at Pegasus Books Downtown tonight, Thursday February 6th, at 7:30 pm! That's the 2349 Shattuck Avenue location, people!






Michael Deforge, continuing his North American tour, will be presenting Ant Colony with a slideshow and signing to follow. Anders Nilsen will present his latest work, the accordion-style Rage of Poseidon, with a signing to follow as well. The two brilliant cartoonists will also be discussing their books, swappin' questions, and will probably share all kinds of cool secrets and insights-- don't miss this!



"Every so often a book comes along that knocks you flat on your ass and makes you wonder where the hell you’ve been and why you haven’t seen anything like it sooner. Ant Colony is exactly that kind of book...an intensely charismatic, thoughtful, evocative little world that DeForge has filled with memorable characters, burning philosophical questions, and moments of true humanity that shine through the stylized thoraxes and angled antennae of his kooky creations. The year may be young, but I am confident when I say that this may just be the best graphic novel of 2014."–Dan Casey, Nerdist



"[Rage of Poseidon] showcases Nilsen’s ability to play with the characters’ frustrations and hopes; it serves as a reminder of how durable the underlying myths and stories are, as well as how timeless human dreams and disappointments can be. The silhouette-heavy art is spellbinding […Rage of Poseidon is] an art object as well as a haunting collection of stories."–Publishers Weekly, starred review



RSVP on Facebook here!


Hey, Stanford! Anders Nilsen talks Rage of Poseidon tonight!

Hey, Stanford-and-environs! Just a friendly reminder that Anders Nilsen will be talking Rage of Poseidon and other works tonight, Wednesday February 5th, at 6pm, in the Board Room of the Stanford University Humanities Center (424 Santa Teresa Street).








Anders will present work from Rage of Poseidon and discuss the role of mythology and religious stories in his work, from the epic Big Questions to his narrative drawing and painting and other unusual storytelling formats. He will discuss these ties between old stories and new meanings in his own work and in the culture at large.



Light refreshments will be served, and the event is free and open to the public. Grab a friend and get over there! You can RSVP here .



P.S. And then come out tomorrow night at Pegasus Downtown to hear him talk comics and approaches to the medium with Michael DeForge!


The Prodigal Son Returns!


So this weekend, Tom and I found ourselves in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Harvard Square to be exact, aka Tom's old stomping grounds of the Million Year Picnic, where they have Tom's Pippi comic in the window. If only a young Tom Devlin could have seen 15 years into the future...




And who was working there, but the sweetest man in comics, Tony Davis, aka Tom's old boss, as Tom used to manage the Picnic, pre-Highwater, pre-D+Q. We had a good time catching up. Tony was in great spirits, the store was impeccably stocked, and the staff was great.




We also had a good time reminiscing. Tom's pointing at a Brian Ralph poster for the book Climbing Out as the Picnic is where Tom met most everyone he knows in comics, especially the "Fort Guys" who he published at Highwater. The take-away? That surly know-it-all comic guy behind the counter may one day be your husband perhaps does have great taste in comics!






Congratulations to Rutu Modan!
