The animation will be preceded by Slide Rule, Seattle’s cartoonist slide show performance group. Using laptop computers and board-room presentation software they lift comics off the printed page and spin them into live sound and digital light for their sometimes high-minded, sometimes low-brow performances.

Featuring works by: Tatiana Gill, Tyler Gillies, Stefan Gruber, Davey Oil, Helen Parson, Kazimir Strzepek, and Toddbott.
