Joe Matt at the LA Times Festival of Books, April 27th

Looking for the perfect after church activity this Sunday (April 27th)? Why not pack up the kids and swing on down to the LA Times Festival of Books and watch a panel discussion with... Joe Matt? All right, forget the kids and maybe don't tell anyone at church, but be sure not to miss the 3:00 pm Graphic Novels: Every Picture Tells a Story panel. It features Cecil Castellucci, Jaime Hernandez and Joe Matt and moderated by Deborah Vankin and will be in Humanities A51 on the UCLA campus.


Though it's in its 13th year, this is the first time I've ever really looked through the programming for the festival, and it looks great! Both the Saturday, April 26th and Sunday, April 27th scheduling looks like it has panels and spotlights for everyone, with topics ranging from current affairs to tween fiction to mysteries. D+Q friend and McSweeney's publisher Eli Horowitz is doing a Saturday panel called West Coast Publishing, and I'll bet that the Gore Vidal and Ray Bradbury spotlights will be worth going to. Heck, everything at this festival looks like it's worth going to.
