Chris Ware @ Wisconsin Book Festival
Chris Ware recently appeared at the Wisconsin Book Festival with fellow comic artist Marjane Satrapi for the Wisconsin Public Radio's "To the Best of Our Knowledge" program. If you missed it because you were, you know, in Chicago, the WPR website has the entire talk, unedited, which you can download in mp3 format (scroll down to "Websites" to find the link) and Isthmus has a video of Ware's segment. [Thanks, So-Called Austin Mayor.]
