Litquake welcomes the creative minds of Daniel Clowes and Dave Eggers, who between them have earned the titles of publisher, editor, journalist, cartoonist, philanthropist, educator, illustrator, author, screenwriter, and graphic novelist, as well as former resident of Chicago, The Windy City. Tonight the two discuss the vagaries of the creative process, their favorite comics, books, and movies, anything else that might come up, and which Chicago hot dog is better: Vienna Beef or Red Hot Chicago.

There will be a signing with both authors following the event where their recent books will be for sale as well as this new Eightball print offered exclusively at signings like this or direct from the danielclowes.com webshop.

Daniel Clowes and Alvin Buenaventura will be at Quimby's in Chicago this Thursday at 7:00pm signing The Art of Daniel Clowes: Modern Cartoonist. Please help spread the word and 'share' this post. More info here.

I'll have a new batch of Mister Jones pins in blue to give out to those who want 'em (while supplies last). Thanks to Niem 'Buttoneers' Tran for whipping these up.

Daniel Clowes is also one of the many stellar guests (including: Crumb, Ware, Barry, Burns, Gloeckner, Tyler, Spiegelman, Panter, etc!) that will be gathering at the Comics: Philosophy & Practice conference taking place at the University of Chicago, May 18-20, 2012. Wotta lineup! Thanks to Hillary Chute for making this possible.

Looking forward to seeing you there! -Alvin Buenaventura
