Seattle cartoonist and illustrator Ellen Forney's most recent book, I Love Led Zeppelin, collects her recent newspaper and magazine work, and reprints work from her out-of-print solo comic books. The book has received wide critical acclaim, including a full-page review in the LA Times Book Review, Salon, the Onion, and an extensive feature in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Known for her bold linework and edgy subject matter, Forney's titles include How to Smoke Pot and Stay Out of Jail, How to Become a Successful Call Girl, and The Final Soundtrack, a death fantasy involving blood, glamour, and Led Zeppelin. For the past two years, Forney has been drawing the popular Lustlab Ad of the Week for Seattle's The Stranger, in which she adapts one of the week's online kinky ads into one-panel comics (which will be collected into a book with Fantagraphics in early 2008). Forney is currently collaborating with celebrated writer Sherman Alexie on his upcoming novel for Little, Brown, and Company, The Absolutely True Story of a Part-Time Indian, contributing full- and partial-page comics. She has been teaching introductory and advanced comics at Cornish College of the Arts since 2002. Monkey Food, the book collection of Forney's autobiographical weekly comic strip, I Was Seven in '75, was nominated for prestigious national Harvey and Eisner comic awards. The comic ran in The Stranger, Minneapolis City Pages, and the Rocket.

After performing standing-room-only and sold-out shows in Seattle and New York, Forney brings her popular multimedia show to San Francisco, which is covered in this week's Flavorpill.
