Reading Tonight

posted by on August 29 at 9:50 AM

In the run-up to Bumbershoot, there’s only one reading going on tonight, but it’s a doozy: Dan Clowes will be at the Fantagraphics Store in Georgetown. While Ghost World (movie trailer above) is a pretty amazing thing, I’m especially fond of Ice Haven, a book that Clowes put out maybe three or four years ago. It’s the story of a kidnapping in a small town, told in all kinds of different cartooning styles. And The Death Ray, which I believe was the last issue of Eightball published to date, is pretty great too. You should go.

(Sigh.) Whatever happened to Thora Birch?

The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.

Death Ray and Icehaven are both really good...and if you got a brilliant, risk taking director, they could be very interesting movies...

I've always thought Thora was way hotter than ol' Scarlett...

@3: Me too. It's telling that in Ghost World, Scarlett was the one who played the vanilla Starbucks zombie.

Thora Birch! Make a movie and remind us all it's totally possible to be smart and hot.
