What?!

While we're on the subject of must-see comics happenings in Chicago next weekend, look at these shadow puppet stills from a piece by Sara Drake that's getting performed at Brain Frame next Friday...

...conveniently (or maddeningly?) scheduled one hour after the Quimby's event starts, and just a few blocks away. It's like a comics reading/performance/exhibition mini festival next week.

Zak Sally printed the damn thing himself

Zak Sally, John Porcellino and Dale Flattum are going to be in Chicago next week on the occasion of the official release of Zak's book Sammy, vol. I. Which is awesome. They're doing a reading at Quimby's on Friday at 7:00 and an exhibition opening at Johalla Projects on Saturday where you can see originals from all three (also at 7). You should go. Here are a couple images of Dale's stuff, (you should also watch his (already funded) kickstarter video here).
