Tom Batiuk

Thursday, April 26 at 6:30 PM

Kent State Graduate and former junior high school art teacher, Tom Batiuk is the creator of the comic Funky Winkerbean. First appearing in 1972, Funky Winkerbean is now in 400 newspapers worldwide and online. Over the last 45 years, this comic has also grown into a more serious and continuous narrative touching on issues like teen pregnancy, suicide, gun violence, and, most notably, cancer.

In Lisa’s Legacy Trilogy, readers follow the character Lisa from high school sweetheart to mother to cancer patient. This moving and critically acclaimed story proves what comics can do as a serious story telling art form.

Join Tom Batiuk as he discusses his writing life and the creation of his popular comics Funky Winkerbean, John Darling, and Crankshaft.
