What can we say about Peter Bagge? Maybe that he has one of the most unique art styles and careers of any creator we've had on the show? Yeah, that sounds right. The cartoonist with the most elastic, frenetic figures came up in the world of underground comics and alternative papers in New York City. Peter found a kindred spirit in R. Crumb, who gave him assignments (including the editorial reins) in Weirdo. He struck it big with two solo series at Fantagraphics: Neat Stuff and Hate, the latter of which is probably his most well known work. Peter went on to work on Yeah! (with Gilbert Hernandez), Sweatshop, and Other Lives for DC, his versions of Spider-Man and Hulk for Marvel, and a few projects at Dark Horse. He's also dabbled in comics journalism. What a neat guy!

Yes, David Donovan, the man behind HurriCon in East Rockaway, NY is here to tell us why you should support this bi-annual comic art convention. It's easy: proceeds from the show go directly to the Bethany Congregational Church, where the show will be held tomorrow (7/20/24) and one of the community's relief centers during Hurricane Sandy. Here's another reason: past guests Keith Williams and Phil Russert will be there. And another: it's fun!

For more info, follow David on Instagram @hurriconli!
