…meanwhile, in the least mysterious city on the planet
(apparently Chicago), Duncan and Ryan panel with the overmodest
Artist/Cartoonist Chris Ware and Chicago’s cultural historian
emeritus Tim Samuelson about the storied origins of the Chicago
comic scene. In this harrowing episode our protagonists discuss a
triumvirate of collaborative projects: the Chicago Cultural
Center’s, “Chicago:
Where Comics Came to Life 1880-1960”, the forthcoming
exhibit at Wrightwood 659 “Romanticism
to Ruin: Two Lost Works of Sulliv
an and Wright”, and an eponymous interminable exhibition
of Samuelson’s personal historical ephemera curated by Ware at the
Chicago Cultural Center.
