Go, Look: Dave Lasky Pays Tribute To Hugo House Location
David Lasky made a short comic about writers to go on the wall of the will-be-demolished-for-condos Hugo House location in Seattle. I always like looking at David Lasky's comics. In this case I share his affection for the physical space involved. Hugo House does have a relationship with comics through 'zine-conscious cartoonists like Lasky; I certainly went to a number of events there when I lived in Seattle. It's old-man aesthetics rearing its head, but I never envision a space for comics in one of those condo+shopping spaces -- even the most crass and lightly stocked comic book shop doesn't quite fit into one of those commercial spaces like a Blimpie's might. I frequently feel that comics might have had a chance in the older building which the newer building is replacing.
