The Evolution of Jeff Smith: From Bone to Tuki
A Live Interview, Q & A, and Free Raffle
UPDATE! PLEASE READ!
Jeff Smith is recuperating from a cardiac arrest suffered on August 13th. The Cartoon Books team has announced that all of Jeff's in-person appearances for the year have been cancelled. However, because he will be attending via Zoom, this event has not yet been changed. They are waiting for a bit to see how Jeff is doing and if he feels up to it.
If Jeff cancels, we will still have an event at DATA Charter School on Saturday, September 16th. The new event will be an interview with Stephen McCranie (Space Boy, Mal and Chad), who was planned to be Jeff's interviewer. We will still have the interview with Jeff at a later date, when his health allows.
More info HERE.
Best known for the self-published comic book series Bone, multi-award winning Jeff Smith is one of the most popular cartoonists in the world. His engaging comics storytelling can now be seen exploring the dawn of humanity in Tuki!
Jeff will be interviewed by New Mexico's own Stephen McCranie. Stephen is the cartoonist behind Space Boy, one of the top sci-fi webcomics in the world!
A hybrid event presented live at DATA Charter School and online via Zoom.
