Lynn Johnston & Deborah Peyton—Creator of “For Better or for Worse” and freelance cartoonist/illustrator; speakers.
It looks like they had the good sense to pair Lynn with Deborah Peyton instead of letting her run on by herself. I can't find any report on how the presentation went or if Lynn was successful in pitching her fabric idea to the National Cartoonists Society.
