The Cleveland area is giving a big boost to native son Derf, whose SLG graphic novel Punk Rock and Trailer Parks was recently released. The story takes place in Akron, where high school dork Otto discovers punk rock at The Bank. The area is hosting two Derf signings this weekend -- one in Akron, another in Cleveland. Take your pick! (Click on the images to see them full sized.)

The signing in Akron on Friday is set just before the "Duty Now for the Future" concert that Devo is playing in their hometown to rally for Barack Obama and benefit the Summit County Democratic party.
