Observations about everything from regional gastronomic habits to “the sandwich that broke all the rules” can be found in Home of the Aporkalypse!!!, a collection of Rich Powell’s Dixie Drive cartoons.
Powell will talk about his book at 7 p.m. Thursday, December 8, at the Asheboro Public Library, and will have copies on hand to sell and sign.
The program, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, is free and the public is invited.
Powell, an artist and illustrator, lives in Asheboro with his wife Frankie and daughter Bailey. His illustration work has appeared in magazines as crazy as MAD Magazine and as classy as Our State, on board games, in computer games and apps, on t-shirts and ball caps, in ads and anywhere else that can hold ink (or pixels).
Dixie Drive appears in Get This!, the weekly entertainment supplement of The Courier Tribune. Home of the Aporkalypse!!! covers roughly the first year-and-a-half of the cartoon in an 88-page soft-cover book.
Citizens of Randolph County will particularly enjoy familiar names and places mentioned in these cartoons.
