Join acclaimed cartoonist Seth for a discussion and book signing to launch Clyde Fans (Drawn & Quarterly), his highly-anticipated masterpiece.

This event is free, open to the public, and features a conversation hosted by Candida Rifkind. Co-presented by the Prairie Comics Festival.

Clyde Fans follows Abe and Simon Matchcard, two brothers whose lives are defined by their doomed family business, selling oscillating fans in a world switching to air conditioning. Seth’s incisive storytelling and gorgeous urban landscapes are showcased in this epic yet intimate time capsule of the mid-century capitalist dream.
