Lawrence Lindell reads from his new graphic novel We All Got Something and chats with cartoonist Breena Nuñez. The follow-up to Lindell’s Eisner-nominated and Excellence in Graphic Literature Award-winning graphic novel Blackward, We All Got Something brings Lindell’s love of the comics community into a different light, and shows the author exploring deeper and darker corners of his past, with his signature blend of humor, heart and cartoony lines. Co-sponsored by Comix Experience.

Lawrence Lindell is an artist, musician and educator from California who works in many artistic disciplines, including comics, music, illustration and mixed media. He is the co-founder of Laneha House. 

Breena Nuñez is a Bay Area bred cartoonist and part-time adjunct professor teaching Race & Comics at California College of the Arts. She creates diary comics that often explore themes surrounding the awkwardness of racism, being a queer Afrodescendiente from the Bay Area, and understanding what it means to be Central American from the US. Their hope as a cartoonist & educator is to help BIPOC folks give themselves permission to express their personal stories through the language of comics. Nowadays they are sharing laughs with their baby over a cup o’ joe brewed by her spouse (Lawrence Lindell), and writing as many stories for future comic strips about motherhood in our current time and continuing to work on their graphic memoir, Morena. Breena’s works are primarily self-published as zines through the family run small press she co-founded, Laneha House. You will also find some comics in other publications such as The New Yorker: Daily Shouts and The Nib, as well as in anthologies like Tales From La Vida: A Latinx Comics Anthology, Drawing Power (Eisner Award Winner 2020), Be Gay, Do Comics! (Ignatz Award Winner 2020), and When Language Broke Open.
