MoCCA Fest 2018: Roz Chast

Cartoonist Roz Chast has been contributing to the New Yorker since 1978. She was a guest of honor at this year's MoCCA Arts Festival. Some eleven pieces of her original art were on display at Metropolitan West. She was interviewed live in front of a very appreciative audience by Gil Roth for his Virtual Memories Show podcast. On Sunday she participated in a panel session. My final acquisition at MoCCA Fest 2018 was a copy of Ms. Chast's What I Hate: From A to Z (2011) which she signed and inscribed to me at the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund table. My work is done here.

Roz Chast Live



Note:  Hamantaschen are pastries made for the Jewish holiday of Purim. Was Ode to Hamantashan ever published and, if so, where?


This week's posts have been devoted to the books and animation art I obtained at MoCCA Fest 2018. I had a great time but I feel I should have bought more.

  1. She was a lot of fun to talk to. (We also did a one-on-one podcast (no audience) in 2014; it's at http://chimeraobscura.com/vm/podchast-parental-guidance if you'd like to listen to it.)
