The second annual Non-Fiction Comics Festival (NFCF) features panel discussions, workshops, and exhibiting cartoonists creating non-fiction and autobiographical work. From science to politics, history to health care, cartooning has exploded as a legitimate medium for exploring non-fiction topics and the textures of lived experience.
Special Guests include Vermont Cartoonist Laureate Tillie Walden ’16, Keith Knight of the K Chronicles, Janet Biehl, CCS faculty and alum Stephen R. Bissette, James Sturm, Jarad Greene ’17, Jason Lutes, Natalie Norris ’20, Dan Nott ’18, and Robyn Smith ’17, as well as Matt Bors, Rachel Lindsay, and Bill Tulp. Plus a keynote Presentation Hey Kids, Vermonters in the Comics! A Conversation with Stephen R. Bissette and Rick Veitch!
Panels and workshops scheduled through the weekend include a Resiliency Narratives workshop by Natalie Norris ’20, and a special all-ages workshop Paws And Puns: An Animal Comics Workshop with Coco Fox ’19 and Annabel Driussi ’23, to name a few!
