You already knew that, but now it’s official. The YART (Young Adult Round Table) of the TLA (Texas Library Association) named Life Sucks to its 2009 Texas Maverick Graphic Novels list. Thanks, Texas!

I’ll be on a panel with Gabrielle Bell and Jillian Tamaki, moderated by Calvin Reid. Thursday Jan 28 at 7pm, in the Dweck Center in the Central Library at Grand Army Plaza.

Matt and I will next be in Huntington, West Virginia, February 25-28 as Walter Gropius Master Artists, giving a three-day workshop and gallery talk. I’ll also be giving a public lecture at Marshall University, all in conjunction with the traveling exhibit Litgraphic: the World of the Graphic Novel.
