For children of all ages and their caregivers…
Zig and Wikki land on a planet of strange creatures like flies, frogs and raccoons, just when it seems to be lunchtime! In their hilarious search for a new pet, the friends discover fun facts about animals and nature.
Written by recent Yale graduate Nadja Spiegelman and illustrated by web designer and illustrator Trade Loeffler, the first science-based TOON Book, Zig and Wikki in “Something Ate My Homework” is an out-of-this-world adventure!

7:00 pm: James Sturm and MARKET DAY at the Strand:

Please join the Strand Bookstore and Drawn & Quarterly for the NYC launch of the new graphic novel MARKET DAY by cartoonist, educator and innovator, James Sturm. James will be presenting a slide show and conversation about his life in comics. Thursday, April 8th, 7:00 PM.  Broadway at 12th, NYC. MARKET DAY has received rave reviews, it is a poignant historical fiction tale of a Eastern European Jewish rug maker trying to support his family with what he does best and what he loves doing, making hand crafted rugs.  The Industrial Revolution is upon him, however, and the changing economy forces Mendelman to choose between his passion and his family.  A timeless tale for any era.

  1. I live in Costa Rica and am about to publish a community newspaper, what are the steps to go about copyrighting the name and articles published in it? And also when can one start using the copyright symbol?.
