Thanks to everyone who came out to the publication party for Jim Woodring ‘s sensational Frank in the 3rd Dimension on Saturday – an amazing array of luminaries from Seattle’s art, music, and comix communities.

Up next is the incomparable Kaz presenting Underworld: From Hoboken to Hollywood on Saturday, February 13 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. In addition to his career as an Emmy-winning writer for animated cartoons like Camp Lazlo, Phineas and Ferb, and SpongeBob Squarepants, Kaz has been drawing his weekly Underworld comic strip since 1992.

On Friday, February 26, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM we welcome Spanish artist Ricardo Cavolo in association with NoBrow and Short Run Micropress.

Canadian cartoonist Tony Cliff presents his new graphic novel Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling on Wednesday, March 9 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
