This live, interactive experience includes an introduction to Charles M. Schulz, Peanuts, and the Schulz Museum followed by a guided drawing of several of Schulz’s most popular characters. Participants will need paper, a pencil, an eraser (drawing supplies will be provided), and their imagination as they learn to draw Snoopy and other Peanuts characters along with the basics of drawing different emotions and using the visual language of cartoons to tell stories. This event will be presented by our friends at the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California, which is spearheading the international Schulz centennial celebration.

New Event! Call Me Nathan: An Evening with Quentin Zuttion

Join the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum for a special event with French author and cartoonist Quentin Zuttion, co-creator of the graphic novel Call Me Nathan.

Thursday, April 28 at 6pm ET
Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum Will Eisner Room (2nd floor)

Assigned female at birth, Nathan spends his formative years facing questions without answers. As puberty hits and begins to change his body, it all just feels wrong, and something needs to change for it to feel right. He finds himself at a crucial crossroads. Becoming oneself is the work of a lifetime, no matter our gender, sexuality, or refusal to be limited by such categorizations.

For Nathan, his courageous first steps towards discovering his true self happen through transition. Based on a true story, Catherine Castro and Quentin Zuttion explore the tenacity and bravery that such a journey entails while society continues to wrestle with the meaning of identity. Call Me Nathan issues a moving call for understanding, a powerful denunciation of prejudice, and a celebration of everything it means to love.

Zuttion will be in conversation with Dr. Margaret Flinn, Associate Professor in The Ohio State University Department of French and Italian. Book signing to follow.
