Art Show!!!!!!!

I will be in an art show next weekend with some people I don't know (September the 26-28). Come on by if yer in Chicargo for some reason. It's just one piece (SPOILER ALERT: pictured) and it's all the way down in Pilsen in some alleyway in the back of a truck that some friends of mine own*. It's all pretty legitimate. Devotees will recognize this strip as a reworking of a previous- and much smaller- comic. Dimensionwise, this is 40 x 40 inches (or, two 20 x 40 inch boards (or, for our international friends: 101.6cm x 101.6cm). It is called "Small Talk" and concerns our man Billy Bughead and a cartoon representation of the artist as they discuss the important topics of the day.

Here it is on the bedroom floor:
