Alison…Thank you so much for Kris Dresen website information, I saw her strip a while back and had no idea where to find her work…You are right, I can’t understand why she is not famous either..

Just a nod to the building itself. I have yet to make it to Masters… (which is ridiculous, since I live in Madison, profess to love comics, and am fascinated with architecture), but the new Milwaukee Art Museum that you visited is the only structure in the country designed by Santiago Calatrava, creator of some of the most iconic structures of the latter part of the 20th century.

I love that building. It looks, to me, like a sail ready to take off, or a series of fish bones, or a weird amalgamation of the two.

I’ve got to get to that exhibit.

How brilliant that you made it to the exhibit! Timing is everything in life, and I’m glad you could take it in on your Midwestern swing. Travel safely today and (by the time you read this), welcome home. If I were there I would give you a popsicle, put out a fresh towel, and go away.

A lot of people here in Milwaukee HATE the sunburst sculpture but I have always liked it and got a big kick out of seeing you climb it.

Great drawing of you illustrating your point of nemo tumbling.
Im wondering if you did the drawing while you were in the museum or if you did your pose, click, draw method.
As for your jungle gym experience, I wouldn’t have passed that up either. You can never have too many stock photos, and its just fun!

Now seeing those Flick’r-s. Yeeee-hah, I don’t guess the sculpture climb was just a figure pose for some Nemo tumble neither.

Okay, I *love* the picture of you climbing the sculpture upside-down. Is this usual, or is the whole touring thing making you a little crazy (-ier than usual)?

Your reading in Madison was most excellent – thank goodness for those wonderful feminist bookstores that banded together to get you to the Midwest.
