Thursday, April 9 at 7 p.m. | Novel Idea

Join Mollie Cronin, Queen’s Gender Studies MA graduate and current Ph.D. candidate at York University in conversation with Naleena Velji (Queen’s GNDS Ph.D. student) at Novel Idea about Mollie’s new book, "Future Me is Fat" — a fat girl’s time-travel escapades through space, time, and diet culture. Told through sci-fi and autofiction, our heroine visits past selves, family histories, and distant futures to confront diet and body trends for some big fat adventures of her own.

Mollie Cronin is a cartoonist from Halifax, NS, and Fredericton, NB. Since 2015, Cronin has been creating comics and illustrations under the name Art Brat Comics, where she tersely tackles modern dating, fatphobia, and gender dynamics. Her work has appeared on Hulu’s "Shrill", as illustrations in books such as Molly Forbes’ "Every Body" (2023), as tattoos, and as a monthly strip comic in an alt-weekly. Cronin has taught several comic courses in the extended studies program at NSCAD and has lectured at Dalhousie, U of T, and Queen’s. She holds a BA in Art History from NSCAD University (2015), and an MA in Gender Studies from Queen’s University (2024). She is currently living in Toronto where she is a PHD candidate at York. This is the first book of Cronin’s comics.
