It’s about how self-identity does not make the person, but their attitude towards themselves and others does. It’s about many things, but nothing terribly serious, because the world is already too serious. So, let’s have some fun and enjoy some satire.” July 20 - Cari Landrum (11 a.m. - 3 p.m.) Landrum is the writer/artist of the graphic novel “Zenny and the Earthlings.” In the book, Zurenbak the robot alien king wants to rule over the entire universe, destroying everything in his path.
