When else to catch The AAUGH Blogger
On Friday at 2:00 in room 28DE I’ll be hosting the Spotlight on Merrie Spaeth. Merrie has had a very wide-ranging media life, from being a teen movie start in The World of Henry Orient (with Peter Sellers in that lead role) to being the White House Media Director under Ronald Reagan. In-between, she wrote comic books for the Gold Key line (although before anyone asks, I’ll note: no, not Peanuts.) I’ll be talking to her about her fascinating life.
I will be at the Eisner Award ceremony on Friday night in the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront (doors open at 7:45 PM, event starts at 8, and a Comic-Con badge will get you in.) Of course, I’ll only get a chance to talk if the book I co-wrote, Charles M. Schulz: The Art and Life of the Peanuts Creator in 100 Objects
