Mini-Comics Day, May 26, 2012, in McCleary

Mini-Comics Day
McCleary Community Center
726 W. Simpson Ave.
McCleary, Washington
9 am-3 pm

Last year on the first Mini-Comics Day I was inspired to draw one (Beholder of the Eye), so even if no one shows up, at least I'll produce an annual 8-page work.

Holding an event like this in a rural area might seem insane, but on the other hand my county produced painter Robert Motherwell, comic artist John Workman (who I was acquainted with as a fellow hangerouter at Eaton's Bookstall in Aberdeen in the early 1970s), music artists Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic, and the wonderful author Angelo Pellegrini. So it is always dangerous to underestimate this obscure edge of the U.S. of A.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Guarding Tess

A Secret Service man reviews the movie Amadeus: "I saw a movie about him. The guy was a complete jerk. The end of the movie some guy comes to see him wearing a party mask, and it's just a mask, right? Well, it upsets Mozart so much that he drops over dead just like that. What the hell kind of guy is that?"

Favorite Movie Quotes: Grumpy Old Men

Line delivered by 94-year old Grandpa Gustafson: "Then one day you'll wake up and you realize that you're not 81 anymore. And then you begin to count the minutes rather than the days, and you realize that pretty soon you'll be gone, and that all you have, see, is the experiences. That's all there is, Johnny, everything! The experiences."

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Grass is Greener

"A spoken word, like a lost opportunity doesn't come back. When a situation like this is admitted out loud it means it's been accepted. If it is accepted it's got to be discussed. And each time you discuss it you get further apart, until in the end you are so far away from each other that you have to shout. And the whole thing becomes hopeless."

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Graduate

"It's like I was playing some kind of game, but the rules don't make any sense to me. They're being made up by all the wrong people. No. I mean no one makes them up. They seem to make themselves up."
