Derf Backderf
We’ve been running Derf Backderf’s cartoon, “The City,” for a dozen or so years. His strip is always a visual treat, he’s equally adept with a silly or scathing tone, and he has a fondness for sharing true stories. Last year he shared a particularly gripping one in the graphic novel My Friend Dahmer. Derf went to high school in Ohio with Jeffrey. “I didn’t really know Dahmer the serial killer,” Derf told Phoenix contributor Philip Eil last year. “Our friendship ended right when he started to kill. The Thing that emerged in 1991 was not the kid I knew.” Eil, who is teaching a “True Crime” seminar at RISD, which examines books, documentary films, comics, and more, will host “A Conversation with” Backderf at 8 pm in the Metcalf Auditorium in RISD’s Chace, 20 North Main St, Providence | Free | facebook.com/events/516038401762422/
will discuss and sign his book, My Friend Dahmer
