Floating World Comics 1223 Lloyd Center, Portland, OR, United States

Join author Cole Pauls for a signing & artist talk to celebrate the release of the Dakwäkãda Warriors graphic novel! Newly collected and published by Conundrum Press – Canada. As a young person growing up in Haines Junction YT, artist Cole Pauls performed in a traditional song and dance group called the Dakwäkãda Dancers.

The River at Night comix reading and signing with Kevin Huizenga

Floating World Comics 1223 Lloyd Center, Portland, OR, United States

A MAN HAS TROUBLE FALLING ASLEEP AND REFLECTS ON HIS LIFE, MARRIAGE, AND TIME ITSELF In The River at Night, Kevin Huizenga delves deep into consciousness. What begins as a simple, distracted conversation between husband and wife, Glenn and Wendy Ganges—him reading a library book and her working on her computer—becomes an exploration of being and the passage of time. As they head to bed, Wendy exhausted by a fussy editor and Glenn energized by his reading and no small amount of caffeine, the story begins to fracture. The River at Night flashes back, first to satirize the dot-com boom of the late 1990s and then to examine the camaraderie of playing first-person shooter video games with work colleagues. Huizenga shifts focus to suggest ways to fall…
