The Boston Comics Roundtable will be as busy as elves this December, racing from one holiday fair to another in order to deliver you the best gifts of the season. Miss us one weekend, catch us the next weekend. Sometimes we’re even at two different shows on the same day! Yes, we’re that good, and so’s our stuff. Do your friends and family a favor this season and give them what they really want: genuine Boston comics.

"Chiyo Dances with Storm Troopers" by Hyun SupulHow would the first page of the best graphic novel of all time read? Join us an hour early tonight for Writer’s Night at 6:30pm at the Democracy Center (map) in Harvard Square to find out! If you’d like to review the scripts beforehand, you can download them here. We’ll be discussing all the scripts under the heading, “Best First Page.”
And at 7:30pm, we’ll have the usual meeting in the usual place: the Nelson Mandela Room, the big room at the Democracy Center. Tonight BCR Presents: Projector Night! Come see BCR’s Hyun Supul‘s laptop projector project recent projects! Your retinae too, dear reader, can be pummeled by light bounced off a silver screen so that shapes forged in the crucibles of local cartoonists’ imaginations may be rendered unto your own. And see stuff lit up big, too! Want to show your art- or video work? Bring a thumb drive tonight and share the love!
Join us tonight either from 6pm-8pm at the Comics Art New England art show reception at the New England Institute of Art or at 7:30pm at the Democracy Center (map) in Harvard Square for our weekly meeting in the Nelson Mandela Room.
Please note Writer’s Night has been postponed to next week, Thursday, November 10 @ 6:30pm, due to tonight’s art reception.
