Kick off the 2012 edition of Expozine the right way! Join us for a screening of select scenes from the brand new documentary, Cartoon College!
Each fall The Center for Cartoon Studies in nearby Vermont
invites 20 aspiring cartoonists and graphic novelists for a
no-holds-barred education in comics. Several Montrealers have
completed the two-year program that aims to prepare them for the
uncertainty of a career in one of the world's most labor-intensive,
drudgery-inducing art forms. Some of them will be on hand to discuss
their experiences before a screening of select scenes from the movie:

Members of the Expozine organizing team will also be on hand to
explain the benefits and challenges of self-publishing. Zines from the
discussion's participants will be available for sale.
Also, Expozine itself will take place November 17 and 18 from noon to 6, free admission, at 5035 St-Dominique, a few blocks south of the
bookstore. Now in its 11th year, Expozine has become the largest small
press fair in North America, bringing together over 275 creators of
all kinds of publications -- from books to zines to graphic novels --
in both English and French. Visit www.expozine.ca for more information. Well worth your while! We Drawn + Quarterly types will be tabling, along with so many amazing writers and artists and small presses!
