Put on your favorite wig and join the Cartoon Art Museum in welcoming Gene Hamm and his graphic novel Hell Toupee. July’s Third Thursday will be a celebration of the monstrous and weird. Come out to meet Gene Hamm, as he reads his graphic novel. Dress up in one of our wigs for a photo and create your own monstrous toupee at the Cartoon Art Museum. This event is free and open to the public.
In Gene Hamm’s Hell Toupee, when the world’s first genetically engineered living toupees escape from the lab on an island resort, can the local barber save the world from their homicidal rampage? Full of laughs, horror, twists and turns, this graphic novel takes a savage and satirical look at vanity. To view a trailer of Hell Toupee, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch
