Check out all these awesome things that are happening this fall with Drawn & Quarterly at our friend in Brooklyn, Desert Island, and here! Kate Beaton 9/27, Daniel Clowes and Seth 10/18. (via Drawn and Quarterly: August 2011)

Really excited about Kate Beaton!

Amy Tan: Please, just sit down. I’m embarrassed for both of us.
