The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art along with the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU is sponsoring this exciting event. I will be on a panel about comics and children's literature. The all day event is free. c o m i c s T e n M i n u t e s A f t e r T h e B i g B a n g ! Friday, June 6, 2008, Cantor Film Center at NYU , 36 East 8 Street Over the past few years comics have escaped from the shtetl and entered the salon. A Big Bang has exploded the assumption that the medium is inherently immature, and comics have hurtled into the worlds of bok publishing (as literature for adults and children), contemporary art, the academy and literary criticism. This one-day program will spotlight major creators of and commentators on comics, highlighting key trends and debates facing comics in this new, “post-bang” environment. 11:00-12:15: Comics and Canon Formation Rob Storr (moderator), John Carlin and Dan Nadel 1:30 - 2:45 Comics and Kid’s Lit Françoise Mouly (moderator), Lisa von Drasek, Leonard Marcus, Mo Willems and Sara Varon 3:00 - 4:15 Comics and the Literary Establishment Jeet Heer (moderator), Hillary Chute, David Hajdu, Douglas Wolk 5:30 - 6:45 Comics and the Internet Kent Worcester (moderator), Sarah Boxer, Shaenon Garrity, Hope Larson, Siva Vaidhyanathan 7:00 - 8:00 Art Spiegelman and Gary Panter in conversation 8:15 - 9:30 Hillary Chute interviews Lynda Barry Sponsored by the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU and the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA).
