Comics in Conversation: Artist, Writer, Reader.
Comics is an immersive medium that invites the reader to infer meaning from the arranged images and words. Many comics are made by a team of collaborators who respond to each others’ input to shape the work into something that exceeds the sum of its parts. Join Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics; The Cartoonists Club), Raina Telgemeier (Smile; The Cartoonists Club), and Tony Weaver Jr. (Weirdo; The Uncommons) for a joyful celebration of the rich interactions that can happen when making and reading comics. Moderated by Ryan Claytor.
