Amanda Makes Comics and Tumblrs

RADAR needs to raise $15,000 to make the 2014 Sister Spit tour a reality. Will you contribute right now?

Nicole J. Georges, one of LA Zine Fest’s 2013 exhibitors, will be doing a reading from as a part of her book tour for her new graphic memoir, Calling Dr. Laura. Nicole is also the creator of the amazing mini-comic Invincible Summer and the world’s cutest animal calendar that has been gracing my wall for many years!

The reading is happening this Saturday at the Last Bookstore and will feature special guest Tara Jepsen and a performance by Jung Bouquet. Check out the Facebook event page to RSVP! 

About Calling Dr. Laura

When Nicole Georges was two years old, her family told her that her father was dead. When she was twenty-three, a psychic told her he was alive. Her half-sister, saddled with guilt, admits that the psychic is right and that the whole family has conspired to keep him a secret. Sent into a tailspin about her identity, Nicole turns to radio talk-show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger for advice.

Packed cover-to-cover with heartfelt and disarming black-and-white illustrations, Calling Dr. Laura tells the story of what happens to you when you are raised in a family of secrets, and what happens to your brain (and heart) when you learn the truth from an unlikely source. Part coming-of-age and part coming-out story, Calling Dr. Laura marks the arrival of an exciting and winning new voice in graphic literature. Calling Dr. Laura has recently been given stellar reviews by:  Vanity Fair, Slate.com, The Oregonian, The Willamette Week, and Portland Monthly Magazine.
