Cartoonist Laureate Talk Sunday

Here's a reminder about a great event Sunday afternoon!

"Comics and Queerness in Vermont and Beyond"
Sunday, March 24, 4pm
Moretown Library at Moretown Town Hall

From Alison Bechdel's Fun Home to Charles Schulz's Peanuts, comics have been a part of American culture since print first began. But comics are no longer relegated just to the newspaper, and as books like Maus or Persepolis have proven, this is a golden age for graphic novel storytelling. What is even more exciting is how the comics industry is currently championing narratives for all identities and ages.

Vermont Cartoonist Laureate Tillie Walden presents a look at the intersection of indie comics with queer identity through her many graphic novels—from science fiction to memoir to historical retelling. Explore process and power through visual narrative and learn why comics are relevant to Vermonters and beyond.

Part of the Vermont Humanities series hosted by MRV Libraries for the 2023-2024 VT Reads programming for "Last Night at the Telegraph Club" by Malinda Lo.
