Crumb’s GENESIS. ASTERIOS POLYP. Joe Sacco’s NOTES FROM GAZA. The ALEC collection. 2009 has seen more than its share of graphic novels that change how we look at the medium. But none of those books is a beautiful painted miniseries about a kitty and some puppies that fight supernatural menaces. No, that book is BEASTS OF BURDEN by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson, and WE NEED THIS BOOK. These two fine creators will be making various appearances to promote this book over the next few days, starting TONIGHT! Here’s the schedule:

Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson are two great tastes that I figure must taste great together.
now, we just need them to do a lucha libre comic together.
I’ll be sketching and twirling and givin y’all hugs n kisses! Come support our most recent collaboration and our comic work in general! :)
I ain’t gonna twirl or hug nobody. I’ll draw some stuff, though.
