Bad At Sports Sunday Comics with Daria Tessler

By Krystal DiFronzo

This upcoming weekend cartoonists and publishers from around the world will flock to the Center on Halsted for the 5th Annual Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE). A book I’m really looking forward to picking up is Accursed: A Collection of Texts from Excavated Curse Tablets Made in Ancient Greece and Rome drawn up by Portland-based artist Daria Tessler. This is the second book that Perfectly Acceptable has printed of Daria’s work and the risograph is a perfect fit for her smooth, magical graphic drawings.

More of Daria’s work can be seen on her Instagram. CAKE is Saturday and Sunday, June 10th and 11th, from 11 am – 6 pm at the Center on Halsted (3656 N Halsted Ave). Special Guests this year include Gary Panter, Emil Ferris, and Ron Regé Jr.
