Seating is limited. Registration is recommended. Walk-ins are also welcome. 

Join us for an exclusive conversation with cartoonists Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell and Julia Wertz. They will discuss how they humorously blend cartoons with reality in each of their recent graphic memoirs, Murder Book and Impossible People. Campbell and Wertz will also present a slideshow and reading of their original comics and answer audience questions. 

Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell is a comedian, writer, and cartoonist for The New Yorker. Her debut graphic memoir Murder Book was called "fun and freewheeling" by Publisher's Weekly and received the Midwest Publishers Award for best graphic novel. You can follow her on instagram at @cartoonsbyhilary or read her popular newsletter on Substack. 

Julia Wertz is a professional cartoonist, amateur historian, and part-time urban explorer. She made the comic books The Fart Party vol 1 and vol 2 (collected in Museum of Mistakes) and the graphic novels Drinking at the Movies, The Infinite Wait, Tenements, Towers, & Trash, (for which she won the 2018 Brendan Gill Prize), and Impossible People. She does regular short story comics for The New Yorker. Her work has appeared regularly in the New York Times, Harper’s Magazine, the Believer, the Best American Comics, and other publications.
