Octopus Pie. Oh, we haven’t liked a title of one of our posts this much since Inseminating the Elephant.
What gives us the right, nay, the honor of entitling a post, “Octopus Pie”? None of other than the visit to Comics Dungeon (250 N. 45th St) of the creator of the Octopus Pie comic strip, Meredith Gran. She’ll be kicking off her tour and celebrating the release of the first Octopus Pie collection, “Octopus Pie: THere are No Stars in Brooklyn” next Tuesday, June 22nd from 7 – 9 pm.
She’ll be joined by Erika Moen, the creator of the webcomic DAR! A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary!
DAR! chronicles the six year long autobiographical story of Erika Moen, who starts out as a lost 20-year-old lesbian artist-wannabe in college who falls in love with a boy in England and the evolution that her sexual identity undergoes before winding up marrying him as a queer 26-year-old full-time cartoonist. Along the way there are many vignettes about sex, farts, the queer community, the Brits, vibrators and figuring out sexual identity.
