A Joy Meeting Two Joyces in Toronto!
Posted: July 30, 2012
It was a privilege and a joy for me to meet two truly inspired and inspiring innovators and activists in the comics medium in Toronto last week. On Monday night July 23rd, I was on stage at The Central Station next to The Beguiling bookstore to interview Joyce Brabner (above - she is thinking, not flinching!), instigator of Real War Stories, Brought to Light and Our Cancer Year with her late husband Harvey Pekar, alongside another special invitee, Joyce Farmer.
Then to wrap up the Comics & Medicine Conference on Tuesday July 24th, I talked with Joyce Farmer again about her provocative 1970s underground comix Abortion Eve and Tits & Clits and her graphic novel about her parents’ last years, Special Exits, for a wonderfully warm and funny closing session. Look out for my reports and transcripts of these encounters in future Articles on this website. Thanks to conference team-members Michael Green and MK Czerwiec (pictured behind the podium) for their photos.
