Texas Performing Arts was kind enough to give me some tickets to the conversation between Robert Crumb, Francoise Mouly, and Art Spiegelman last night at Bass Concert Hall.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take notes: the lecture hall was dark, and I wasn’t close enough to the stage to get light from the slideshow to see my sketchbook. So I dashed these doodles off during the Q&A when the lights came up.
(Folks interested in Spiegelman should see my notes from when he visited Bookpeople last year.)
For notes, my Twitter friend John Jones (@johnmjones | his blog) live-tweeted the event.
His tweets (in reverse chronological order):
There’s a decent rundown and GREAT sketches by Russell Etchen over at The Rumpus: http://therumpus.net/2009/11/r-crumb-and-art-spiegelman-talk-comics/
