The sold-out Daniel Clowes event took place at Green Apple Books on the Park on March 23rd. People lined up earlier than one hour before the event to get their copy of Clowes's new graphic novel "Patience," and a good seat for the conversation and Q&A. As it got closer to 7:15PM (when guests would be ticketed and allowed in), the line had stretched down the sidewalk.
Clowes was very relaxed and comical throughout the event, answering questions from fans and explaining his long, six year process to finish his newest work; he even described how adding color to the book took one year alone. Although the book took longer to complete than Clowes had expected, he spoke of the necessity to take his work incredibly seriously in order to finish it. The detail and beauty in "Patience" is very apparent.
After his talk, fans lined up again and awaited to get an autograph from Clowes. The line stretched all the way through the store and out the door, yet Clowes took the time to talk individually to fans and actively listen to their praise and their thankfulness towards him.
