This isn't the only comics program I'm doing in November! There's also a special [Cooking & Comics](https://durhamcountylibrary.libcal.com/event/12172748 "https://durhamcountylibrary.libcal.com/event/12172748") program coming up on **Saturday November 2nd** (in person! At the library!) You can find all the details at the link above, and if you're local I truly hope to see you there.

Anyone noticed how there's been a **lot** of comics about food getting attention lately? Did you know there's such a thing as a 'graphic cookbook'? Are you a big fan of '[Delicious in Dungeon](https://durhamcounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S217C337280 "https://durhamcounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S217C337280")?' (I know I am!)

Join us in November to talk about comics and other graphic works about food, cooking, and cuisine (and if all the copies of 'Delicious in Dungeon' are checked out, find other suggestions at [this finely crafted link](https://durhamcounty.bibliocommons.com/list/share/1755284789_wynned_dcol/2457715969_cooking_amp_comics "https://durhamcounty.bibliocommons.com/list/share/1755284789_wynned_dcol/2457715969_cooking_amp_comics"))

Springboards!

* What is your book's relationship to food? What role does food and/or cooking play in the narrative? How do the characters in your book relate to food?
* How does the art in your book present the food? If you can (and if your book does it) look for how it conveys the non-visual elements of the food (especially taste, scent, texture, etc).
* What does the food or cookery in your book communicate about the setting and characters? How do the world and people in your book relate to and view food?
* How much does the story rely on the reader knowing or understanding that the food tastes like? Eg, does it provide textual or graphic descriptions to communicate the relevant elements of the food, or rely on the reader's prior knowledge to fill in the blanks from a surface level description/presentation? How does your book handle wholly fictional types of food (if it has any)?
