My Copy of Where There's Smoke, There's Dinner by Jennifer Hayden

On Wednesday evening, I went to Labyrinth Books in Princeton to hear comix memoirist Jennifer Hayden in conversation with Summer Pierre. The event was a promotion for Hayden's new book Where There's Smoke, There's Dinner: Confessions of a Cartoonist Cook.

The shop window was decorated with a timely display celebrating women comix artists.

The bookstore was well-stocked for the occasion.

Inspired no doubt by "Hill Street Blues," the artist personalized this copy to me on the dedication page.

New Books Signed by Michael Tisserand and Patrick McDonnell

Call me an old-timer if you like. I've now been living in the Princeton area long enough to have missed public appearances by Mutts comics creator Patrick McDonnell twice. To make matters worse, this time it was a joint appearance at Labyrinth Books with Michael Tisserand, author of the acclaimed Krazy: George Herriman, A Life in Black and White. Fortunately, I was still able to pick up a couple of signed books a few days later at the bookstore, but it just isn't the same thing as being there. Under the bylaws of the town, should I miss a third appearance of Mr. McDonnell, I will need to move out of the municipality and surrender my blog to the Town Clerk.
