Hey Everybody, if you are in Vancouver, you should come out for this. Ojingogo is a pretty smart looking book, and Lucky’s still has some of the original mini’s sitting around if you are quick enough to snatch them up.

Mia Kirshner joined me to discuss the I Live Here project that she took part in. It is an incredible collection of mixed media and comics in a great looking package. The collection is made up of four books that focus on different locals around the world. It is one of the more honestly heart breaking comics i have read in a while and well worth checking out, just for the Joe Sacco and Pheobe Gloeckner parts.

During the show, I did several shout outs in regards to the funding drive happening at CiTR right now. If you donate and mention that it is for Inktuds, you can get some awesome books and comics. The only thing is that you have to be able to pick the books up at the station. Call in at 604-822-864.
