Art Spiegelman

Art Spiegelman's lecture was very good. He is a sharp and very funny man, and I am really glad that we went to see him.
It was fascinating to watch him explain his confessional works while he chain smoked and cracked jokes.
He also used the two following phrases:
"avenging penis" (Hello, my name is Wang. You killed my father, prepare to die.)
"doin' it" (my favorite phrase of all time)
It was also nifty to see all of the Emerald City Comicon posty/flyer thingies, especially since Jim (who runs the gig) was there. It was less nifty to see how many were abandoned on the floor when people left....
If you have the opportunity to see Spiegelman speak, I encourage you to do so.
