The great Jim Woodring is breaking out his 7-foot pen for CXC
2018, and we couldn’t think of a better kick-off event for the Expo and
Book Fair down at the CML Main Library!
You’ll believe a person can draw (with a gigantic pen)!
Jim
says a big part of the fun is watching other cartoonists use the pen,
so expect moments of artistic hilarity that will burn into your brain
for decades to come.
All part of the CXC 2018 Weekend!

In order to save George Westinghouse from
bankruptcy, Tesla sold Westinghouse his own royalties, which were worth $12
million, for just $216,000. If Tesla had kept his royalties, he may have been
the first billionaire, sharing financial history with the likes of John D.
Rockefeller the worlds first in 1916, Howard Hughes, and Bill Gates who became
the first man to reach $100 billion in 1999.
