Hell’s Kitchen is an American-style restaurant in downtown Minneapolis. We left before the live music started but it was good eats.

Elizabeth Wein is an author I occasionally wax rhapsodic about here. You should read her books.

NCTE3

Day 2 of my trip to Minneapolis to the NCTE convention… even though this is the third comic page.

Richard McGuire’s Here truly is mind-blowing. He’s been working on it for a long time but I had never heard of it before this weekend.

Craig Thompson on the other hand is one of my favorite cartoonists. If you haven’t read Blankets, Goodbye Chunky Rice, Habibi, or most recently, Space Dumplins, get on that. Also you can check out some of the cool doodles he did in our books at CXC this past fall.

Cece Bell wrote the tremendous graphic novel El Deafo.
