Brad Guigar of Evil, Inc. to speak at Swarthmore

Monday, April 3rd, 2006

Tomorrow on Tuesday, April 4th at 7pm in Sci 183, Brad Guigar of Evil Inc. will speak about his experiences as a webcomic artist and a member of the Blank Label webcomics collective. Whether you’re interested in the business side or artistic side of web comics, this is definitely worth attending.

Are you surprised that we would associate with an entity known as Evil, Inc.? “Isn’t Free Culture supposed to support good things, not evil things?”, you may ask. Don’t worry, Brad himself is not evil, but if you aren’t willing to take our word for it, you’ll just have to come and evaluate his moral worth yourself ;-)
