12pm — Comics Journalism with Joe Sacco and Sarah Glidden in the White Oak Room
Comics journalism is a form of journalism crafted by Joe Sacco in his award-winning graphic novels (Palestine, Safe Area Goražde, Fixer, Footnotes in Gaza, The Great War) and explored in depth by Sarah Glidden in her new release, Rolling Blackouts. Join these two amazing comics creators as they discuss the intersection of storytelling and fact, and how they report on humanity’s history and current events through the medium of comics. Moderated by Matt Bors of The Nib.
2:30pm — The Funny Pages: Evoking Laughter Through Comics (feat. Tom Gauld) in the White Flint Auditorium
The words “comics” and “comedy” both trace their roots back to the same Ancient Greek term for “humorous,” and “funny stuff” has been a major part of comics since its earliest days. In this panel discussion, three internationally-based creators of the comedic comics form—Glen Baxter, Roger Langridge and Tom Gauld—talk about what makes things “funny.” The panel will be moderated by Michael Cavna, the comics journalist and critic behind the Washington Post’s popular web site, Comic Riffs.
3pm — Spotlight on Lisa Hanawalt in the White Oak Room
From her days as a member of Pizza Island to her latest graphic novel Hot Dog Taste Test, Lisa [Hanawalt] has always brought a uniquely comedic turn to her beautifully rendered illustrations and comics. The outrageously funny Lisa Hanawalt sits down with NPR contributor Glen Weldon to talk about her career as a comics creator, illustrator, and the production designer and producer of Bojack Horseman.
4pm — Comics Carousel (feat. Pascal Girard) in the White Oak Room
