About this Event

Join us on May 29th for the launch of Vivisect, by Vivi Partridge, published by Inservice Comics—a raw and rambunctious diary comic about a big breakup, making your first graphic novel, therapy, mental health, and befriending characters from manga, by the author of Quiet Crossings (Conundrum Press).

Vivi will guide us through her artistic process in conversation with Mollie Cronin, author and artist of Future Me is Fat (Conundrum Press).

We’ll have drinks, snacks (of course), and music. The event starts at 7 PM. After the conversation, there will be a Q&A, followed by time to mingle and celebrate yet another release from one of the most distinctive emerging voices in Canadian comics.

The ticket includes one copy of Vivisect. The author will be signing books at the event.
