Lisa Cheese Signing w/Kevin Alvir

Lisa Cheese & Ghost Guitar: Attack of the Snack seems like an average graphic novel for middle school aged kids but under the surface lies something extraordinary!

Taking relatable life situations: a job you can’t stand, parents that don’t understand, failed dreams and combining them with fantastic elements like a bionic arm, a unicorn and a demonic burger corporation - Lisa Cheese & Ghost Guitar is SO MUCH MORE than what you would expect and certainly it’s anything BUT average!

About the book: Lisa is a sweet unicorn girl with a cyborg arm… and anger issues… who’s late for her first day of work. And if this occult fast food chain’s minions don’t stop attacking, she’ll never achieve her dream of making it as a musician!

Lisa Cheese moved to Earth City hoping to make a name for herself as a folk singer… but her very first open mic was a disaster, leaving her with a bionic arm and an identity crisis. Now she’s starting a crummy office job, her parents back in their home dimension are laying on the guilt trip, her sister’s acting smug, and the cool girl at the record store leaves her tongue-tied. But none of that will matter if the city’s demonic new burger corporation achieves its evil ambitions: Lisa’s very life is at stake! Fortunately, she has allies…

About the creator: Kevin Alvir is a Brooklyn, New York based comic book maker, artist, educator, musician. His work has been featured in places such as Funny or Die, Current Affairs, HBO's High Maintenance, album covers, podcast tiles, and more. Kevin has done several webcomics: Lunch Adventures, Lisa Cheese : Cyborg Unicorn, Ghost Guitar, Scarberry, Meg Deerleg, Cock Knight, and more. Lisa Cheese & Ghost Guitar: Attack of the Snack is his first full length graphic novel. \

Kevin will be here signing copies of his book and will even have some copies of his minicomics to sale as well. He’ll be here from 2pm-5pm and we can’t be more excited! We hope you’ll join us for this amazing signing that also doubles as a spectacular holiday gift for that hard-to-shop-for friend or family member!

First time I remember feeling anything

[copperbadge]

Well shit, I guess I saw the Mona Lisa.

I wasn't trying to. I was on some stairs and rapidly getting lost and the whole ass museum is designed to take you to her, and I got swept up in what I think is an Italian tour group. By the time I got my bearings she was just kinda there. No line, not a huge crowd even.

She's so much bigger than I anticipated. Everyone says how small she is but she must have been an absolute pain in the ass to steal. I took this picture and then stood there for about ten minutes, studying her. In person she is transcendent.

Then I tripped on the stairs going back to where I wanted to be and almost died. This will probably not be the last time today.

[ID: a picture from the front of the line, up against the rope and off to one side, of the Mona Lisa, an enigmatically smiling dark haired woman; the painting is about poster sized and in a tasteful gold frame.]

Charles Entertainment Cheese 🌈

(fun fact: this Charles is cursed! He's been purchased three times MONTHS apart and all three times the buyers got flagged for scam/fraud accounts within an hour of me packing him to take to the post office. Is that cursed or blessed??)

thing that i drew back in october about bo and how i think his possible bond with joy addicted companions would parallel his bond with his brother, i think he would be very empathetic with them

Plex The shore of the lake is gradual and drawn With rivers threading into land Then suddenly it’s all land Now the land is dark And you can’t distinguish it from the water And the hot orange sun Turns everything dark purple Like a painting by Joan Mitchell It is unknowable It is knowable It is a sum of these It is not without birds and animals He is very elegant and kind Her intellectual complexion It is a beautiful word The flank of their poem goes to the lake To enter sweet new time Trees express the sky energetically So do they With all the rarity of tenderness Like the place where the base of the vase touches earth To speak into time deeply All the animals lie down together This is what they prefer It is explicitly their preference New roses happen Their Latin pleats Together they harbor the intimate excess of philosophy Which loves gardens Now admire their breadth Every flower is inverted And what the flower produces Is unknown You call this beauty As a way to express care Now call it wildrose Wildrose is resourceful Its geophysiology is vast It threw runners To make landbridge It threw pollen With voracious joy Underground network of wildrose Linking all the political lovers And infinite breathing flesh In each temporality experienced Is resurgent insurrection The form of life of wildrose Is experiment in relationship Also named Plex Earth the tousled rosebed! From which the brocaded and tarnishing yardgoods unfurl Some of the bronze threads blackening So that the ornate pattern is obscured Like dusk in a borderless tableau It glows from beneath Now time ripples from beneath Now they enter dusk’s happiness Rosebed is the lovepoem Belly and horizon! Wildrose suckers freely from underground stems and roots Forming dense colonies that run wild This wedding names everyone wildrose. —Lisa Robertson
