Tonight I host a panel on young women in comics. The gist is that women are set to take over comics, and will probably do a better job than men. And oddly, having women take over is taking a marginalized form and bringing it mainstream. How's that for lit-crit turnaround?

Anyway, here's the low-down:

MoCCA Monday, October 1st - New Voices in Comics: A Friends of Lulu Panel
There are more girls and women reading, writing, drawing, and enjoying comics today than ever before. Comics creators Hilary Florido, Miss Lasko-Gross, Yali Lin, and Danica Novgorodoff discuss their backgrounds, starting out in the comics industry, and how the graphic novel revolution the publishing industry has undergone affected their work and their opportunities. Moderated by Laurel Maury of Publisher's Weekly.

Starts at 6:30. I have to get there at 6:00.

Odd being asked to do something. To have people return my phone calls. I'm just a girl from Maryland, and not a terrifically successful one. I was invited to do this thing out of the blue.

Love and primary colors,

The Red Pooka!
