Chris Monroe
By “being a badass” I mean “writing children’s books.”
For those unfamiliar with her comic, “Violet Days,” here is one of my favorite strips:
Hey, I wonder what Chris Monroe has to say about Lutefisk? Oh look:
Harsh, Chris. Really harsh.
For those cartoonists with less negative feelings about air-dried whitefish, the Lutefisk Sushi Artists’ Potluck/Original Artwork Hanging is tomorrow from 1:00-3:00pm at Altered Esthetics. The gallery opening is next Friday at 7:00pm. Please come!

Hey, I spent the better part of three years working in Duluth. Based on my experience, being a badass (or a determinedly independent creative type) in Duluth involves drinking beer, eating pizza (or maybe Coneys), and making music (or is that just TBT?).
Hmmm…does Bullseye Silkscreen (on Superior Street) have any t-shirts with Chris Monroe’s lutefisk panel on ‘em? That would be quite the thing for a holiday party up at St. Olaf.

Chris Monroe has a Facebook fan club if you’d like to keep updated on her career and projects:

Oh, one note, Bob would probably be recognized in Duluth, even if he was wearing dark glasses outside of Coney Island, thanks, in part, to the Chris Monroe t-shirts. Bob was actually picked up by the police in Long Branch, New Jersey, where, I guess, he didn’t fit in.

Shucks. I am so flattered.
Thank you for the very cool comic, Athena.

Dad: beer, pizza, and music? Let’s all move to Duluth! Also, I can’t stop CRINGING about my Bob Dylan/Duluth/Jersey error! How stupid of me. There is no excuse.
Bruce: I am a member of that fan club!
Chris: Thank you!! I was so sorry I missed you when you were in St Paul recently. It won’t happen next time!
