Do you love comics, graphic novels, and zines? Artist Andrew Howard-Greene is helping organize an independent comics and art show at Humdinger Brewing’s SLO Tap Room (855 Capitolio Way) on Saturday, Feb. 21 (all ages; free). You can peruse comics, zines, and art for sale from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., as well as attend panel discussions. Stay for live punk bands playing the after-party from 6 to 9:30 p.m.
“FREE Admission! ALL AGES. KID FRIENDLY,” Howard-Greene announced on Facebook. “Food and drinks available, nonalcoholic beverages available. Creator panels and a draw-along. There will of course be MA/Underground comics and plenty for the adults and kids with ‘cool parents.’ Come out and hang!”
Panels include graphic novelist Kane Lynch presenting a drawing tutorial and talk at 1 p.m. Punk Rock Time Machine will present a music video discussion with an animator and band members at 2 p.m.
Bands playing the after-party include A.I.P., The Freak Accident, and Punk Rock Time Machine.
“I moved back to the Central Coast from San Francisco a little over a year ago and haven’t gotten out much because I’ve been hard at work on this project and my book, among others,” Howard-Greene added. “I’d love to catch up and say hey. I’ve got lots of cool junk to show you!” ∆
