World-renowned comic strip illustrator/author, Guy Gilchrist, best known as Jim Henson's cartoonist and creator of the "Muppets" daily comic strip (printed worldwide from 1981 to 1986) and the international comic strip, "Nancy" for 22 years, is coming to Comic Quest in Evansville, Ind. (2260 E Morgan Ave.) on September 16 & 17. Gilchrist will set up shop and be available for a full two days at the comic book store (from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.) to allow ample opportunity to meet him under COVID capacity restrictions. The famed cartoonist will greet and draw for fans, bring plenty of one-of-a-kind, original art pieces for purchase, and talk about the art of cartooning. The event is FREE and open to the public (masks are required). For more details, please visit Comic Quest's Facebook page @ComicQuestEvansville.
"It is NEVER too soon to start building an appreciation for art in your kids," states Gilchrist, who has set his hand to some of the world's most beloved and iconic comic strip and Saturday morning cartoon characters, including the Muppets, Muppet Babies, Fraggles, Teenage Mutant Turtles, Looney Tunes, Pink Panther, Nancy, Sluggo, and more.
"The characters I draw were some of the 'gateway characters' that led many fans to a love for comic books. We cut our teeth on Bugs Bunny, Cookie Monster Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, and then expanded to Batman, Spider-Man, and other Marvel and DC comics, which is so cool!...and with these characters being far less menacing, it's a great time to bring your little ones and introduce them to the medium."
