MONDAY: Art Spiegelman brought the comic book to maturity with his stunning, upsetting "Maus," which won him the Pulitzer Prize. He's gone on to pen funny, strange, fearless comics about his own childhood and 9/11, among other things.

He'll be speaking about the history and importance of comics — we predict he'll name check Pogo, Krazy Kat and Calvin and Hobbes — at the Corcoran tonight.
