Topics of conversation:

  • Life of a comic strip writer, the transition to novel writing, Marie's own life experience that prompted Hey Diddle Diddle.
  • How cartoonists are just writers disguised behind a drawing table.
  • The healing power of humor, the need for comedy in life.
  • Marie reads passages from her book, talks about a few of the whimsical characters, humorous excerpts and tender moments.
  • The importance of supporting women, locally and internationally to Marie's life and work, advocacy for GBLT community.

Internationally published in five languages, award-winning syndicated cartoonist Marie Davis has broken free of the comic strip and is now writing novels. Her first novel, an audio book entitled Hey Diddle Diddle--A Naughty Delight for Lesbians and Other Grownups,  is a fanciful, over-the-top tale of sex and obsession.

Synopsis: Meet Elsa.  She's a lactose-intolerant cow.  Really.  Elsa's a good friend to Lil, her handywoman neighbor.  Plus, Elsa's got a secret unrequited crush...a big one.  Lil, meanwhile, has a curiously fascinating love life of her own.  Their world is populated with a mean little dog, a virtuoso cat, a yummy dish (of course), a chorus of lusty kitchen implements, a grumpy wishing star, and an aging silver spoon with a consuming desire of its own.  Therein lies the funniest, most fanciful, over-the-top tale of sex and obsession you will ever have the pleasure of hearing.
