On April 18 City of Asylum/Pittsburgh presented a reading with Boulet, the French “24-hour” cartoonist and author of the graphic novel, Darkness, published by Adhouse Books in February, 2013. Boulet joined in conversation with Pittsburgh cartoonists Jim Rugg and Jasen Lex , hosts of the Boing Boing podcast, Tell Me Something I Don’t Know.

During Boulet’s visit to Pittsburgh, he drew many cartoons of local attractions, including the Carnegie Museums and businesses in the North Side. Today Sampsonia Way presents an slideshow with his work.
