Something of a landmark publication is celebrated here today as
once-up-a-time Seattle cartoonist Shary Flenniken (now based in Brooklyn),
will be joined in conversation by cartoonist author Sarah Glidden, on the
occasion of the release of *Trots and Bonnie* (New York Review of Books
Comics). This book brings together, so far as we know, the first appearance
in book form of *Trots and Bonnie*, who appeared back in the day in the
pages of *National Lampoon*, where Shary Flenniken was an editor forty
years ago. Shary Flenniken’s work also appeared in such magazines as *Mad*,
*Premiere*, and *Details*. She was a pioneer in her time - and the work, as
response to Trots and Bonnie’s publication, is no less fresh than it was
years ago.

“Drawn in an exquisite pastiche on the classic comic strip style of George
McManus (*Bringing Up Father*) and the like, [*Trots and Bonnie* is] a
slyly whimsical take on feminism, hippies, the counterculture, and more. .
. . Flenniken [is] . . . one of the best cartoonists of her time, full
stop.” —Heidi MacDonald, *Comics Beat*.

“*Trots and Bonnie* is hilarious, poignant, raunchy, gorgeously drawn, and
more relevant than ever. Shary Flenniken is an absolute genius.” —Roz Chast.

Sarah Glidden’s books include *How to Understand Israel in 60 Days* or Less
and *Rolling Blackouts*.
