Description:

Tom Batiuk, creator of the comic strips "Funky Winkerbean" and "Crankshaft" will be at the Barberton Public Library to discuss his book, Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe. The author has depicted the death of a young wife and mother from the recurrence of breast cancer. Lisa Moore, a major character in "Funky Winkerbean" who was battling breast cancer for a second time, succumbed to the disease on Oct. 4, 2007, leaving behind her husband, Les, and their five year-old daughter, Summer. Nearly one year after the character's death, Mr. Batiuk will talk to us about his decision to create this story arc.
Copies of Batiuk's book will be available for purchase and autographing. This free special event is presented with the support of the Friends of the Barberton Public Library.
At the program, donations will be accepted to benefit the University Hospitals Ireland Cancer Center Lisa’s Legacy Fund for Cancer Research and Education.
