Join us in celebrating the launch of the Beaver’s new zine library, curated by Lee D’Angelo, as well as Eric Kostiuk Williams’ new comic book, Babybel Wax Bodysuit!

// // // // //

“In Babybel Wax Bodysuit, cartoonist Eric Kostiuk Williams presents a collection of short stories delving into self-worth, Internet culture, and the fascinating grotesqueries offered up by our science-fiction present, all rendered in what curator Luis Jacob (“Form Follows Fiction: Art and Artists in Toronto”) has referred to as a “unique visual style, narrated in a fabulous spirit of liquid intelligence.”

In this issue: our author, as a closeted teen, navigates comic book message boards and befriends a Pentecostal Christian! Keith Haring fights off gentrification in the 1980’s East Village! A familiar pop star breaks free of her Las Vegas promoters, one hundred years in the future! And more…”

The comic launch will be going from 7 to 10pm, with dancing to follow.

FREE before 10pm (with comics for sale at $6.00) — PWYC after 10pm.

Please note: the Beaver does not have wheelchair-accessible washrooms.
