Laura Park
Few cartoonists in Chicago have had quite the rise in profile this year in Chicago that Laura Park has, whether it’s scoring a rights deal with powerhouse Drawn & Quarterly for her first upcoming full-length book, “Do Not Disturb My Waking Dreams,” palling around with cartooning legend Charles Burns, hustling out on the lecture circuit or having her work featured on the cover of the November Poetry magazine, Park this year has been killing it.
