Join us as we celebrate the launch of the brilliant How To Love with author and illustrator Alex Norris!
Alex Norris (they/them) is an award-winning cartoonist and author, best-known for their internet comic series 'Webcomic Name'.
Following the series launch in 2016, the first 'Webcomic Name' book collection was published in 2019. Alex has spoken at events across the world, including Pictoplasma Berlin and NYC, XOXO Festival in Portland OR, The National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, TCAF in Toronto, and Thought Bubble Comic Con UK. Alex has also held an exhibition of work in Berlin, and painted a mural of Webcomic Name blobs in Mexico City.
About the book:
Isn’t it wonderful when love strikes? When you encounter someone beautiful and interesting and suddenly: feelings. But what do you do when that first crush squashes you flat, when sparks fly but fizzle out, when you and your other half just don’t click together?
Enter How to Love! Your funny, wise and very different guide to relationships of all shapes and sizes, covering topics from singlehood to jealousy to happily ever after – all delivered in Alex Norris’s clever, accessible and bright graphic style.
Full colour throughout and in an Agony Aunt format, with each chapter posed as a question – answered in comic book form. Inclusive of all genders and sexualities, and created by a queer non-binary artist.
