 Oh, Jose. Jose Luis Olivares. Our first CCS summer intern this year. Last name eerily close to The Chief's but we moved past it. As an intern, we rate him most excellent. Summer interning is a tough job because there's too much sandals- and shorts-wearing for one. Also, we don't always turn on the air-conditioning because Montreal electricity was designed a long time ago and fuses blow like crazy and we're trying not to crash our computers. Jose was a most excellent intern. Sniff.

We just recently redesigned our site to allow us to add and delete stores without the continual aid of a webmaster. (though we adore our webmaster, Doug, we love you!) So people, if your store or the store you shop at is not listed here, then please email publicity@drawnandquarterly.com so we can add. And of course, if you sadly see a store that is no longer open, please let us know that as well.

D+Q interns are awesome, and now they are even more so. Former Summer 2008 D+Q intern, McGill Music Theory graduate, Claire Boucher built a boat and attempted to motor down the Mississippi River, she didn't get far, but who cares, god bless her! This is the best and most inspiring article I have read in some time.

The people over at the CBC have a book club and while it's not a twitter book club like they have across the pond, it is still pretty awesome that in the past few months they have lined up Jonathan Goldstein, Jillian Tamaki and today's guest, Seth, to talk to fans. I like this opportunity as not every fan lives in a city big enough to land on our book tours and it allows even the most hermitic of people to interact with their favorite authors. Look, I am not saying that comic book fans are shy, well, actually...
And yesterday, the CBC bookclub chatted with Toronto retailer Peter Birkemoe.
And Drawn & Quarterly donated five gift packs (of 9 books each!!!) to the book club, which you can enter to win this week. And the Doug Wright Awards also donated books to the book club including a signed Louis Riel!
So 2:00 PM today, mark in your schedule, take a late lunch and chat with Seth.

Chris Wright is a smart guy and makes great comics. There's an interview with him about last year's Inkweed (a book you should own) here at the Exquisite Things blog.
Here's a particularly great quote:
"I think what I am trying to say is that people who wouldn't know 'art' if it bit them in the ass need to stop insisting that comics is an art form. Comics is not an art form, it is a medium. The art comes in with the soul of its purveyor, regardless of the form."
Chris is currently working on his next book Black Lung which you will hopefully see from D+Q sometime in the Fall of 2010.
