Round Table Talk
Salon Talk with Bob & Vicki Scott – Ask Us Anything!
Pull up a chair and join acclaimed cartoonists Bob and Vicki Scott for an intimate, salon-style roundtable chat. In this relaxed and informal "Ask Me Anything" session, you'll have the chance to hear behind-the-scenes stories from their careers in comics and animation, ask your burning questions, and gain insight into their creative process—from drawing syndicated comic strips to storyboarding for iconic characters. Whether you're a fan, an aspiring artist, or just curious, this is your opportunity to connect with two seasoned pros in a friendly, conversational setting.
Come with your questions! Come for the cookies! Come and say Hi!
Enjoy the exhibit of original artwork on display created by Bob Scott.
Join us for a whole day of Molly and the Bear fun to celebrate our first graphic novel! Molly and the Bear, and Unlikely Pair! Yes, it's a whole graphic novel that tells the origin story of our two stars' friendship. The book is for middle grade readers, which is book-speak for 3rd to 5th graders. The book features Bob Scott's beautiful art and hilarity, so older readers will laugh their way through it, too!
Kicking off the day, we will lead the group in drawing Bear! This part of the day is made for kids but anyone can draw with us! Feel free to drop in any time during the draw-along time! We plan to just keep drawing more and more Bears until the time is up!
Next is the book signing and raffle part of the day! Authors and illustrators, Bob and Vicki, will happily sign the graphic novel - feel free to bring your own copy from home or we will have some to sell at the event. And, yes! There will be a raffle! Special books, comic books and maybe a surprise will be raffled! No purchase needed. The raffle tickets are free. Share the fun with us!
And finally, a chat and Q and A. We had such a great experience making this book (and another due out this August) that we want to share the journey with anyone interested in trying out publishing! We are originally from animation, and we can talk forever about how similar graphic novels are to animation story department work. Come with your questions! Come for the cookies! Come and say Hi!
It will be a fine day for talking and being part of the community.

Bob Scott lives in both the world of comic strips and animation. Born in Detroit, he began drawing at a young age by copying what he saw in the funny pages. After graduating from California Institute of the Arts, Bob entered the world of character animation and has worked for over thirty-five years in the industry as an animator, character designer, storyboard artist, and voice talent for Warner Brothers, DreamWorks, Pixar, and more. Bob has always wanted a comic strip of his own, and so “Bear with Me” (a.k.a. “Molly and the Bear”) was born and became a syndicated webcomic in 2010. In partnership with his wife, Vicki, Bob turned this webcomic into their middle grade debut, An Unlikely Pair.
