Rich Koslowski Book Signing Event and F.A.R.M System Review

A talented Midwest comic book artist is heading to Siouxland to sign comic books and his new graphic novel, F.A.R.M. System! He's sending me a free copy for review purposes, and I'm excited to check it out and let you know our thoughts.  Here's what parents should know about Rich Koslowski, his books, and this special event:

a comic book text bubble contains the words "Rich Koslowski Book Signing @ Acme Comics"



The Event: Rich Koslowski @ Acme Comics

Rich Koslowski will be at Sioux City's Acme Comics on Pierce Street on Saturday, November 26th, 2022 (Saturday after Thanksgiving) from 11am to 3pm to sign books and meet fans. Koslowski has been an illustrator for more than 30 years, working for Archie Comics on their main titles and as one of the main illustrators of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series. 
 
Acme will have copies of his new book, F.A.R.M. System as well as some of his Archie and Sonic titles available for purchase and Mr. Koslowski will be signing books and greeting fans. The Sonic and Archie works are appropriate for all ages and would make great holiday gifts for elementary age students or Archie or Sonic fans of any age, while F.A.R.M. System is best for teens and adults (more on that below.)

The Book: F.A.R.M. System 

The basics:

F.A.R.M. System is a new full length (about 200 pages) graphic novel from Wisconsin artist Rich Koslowski exploring the concept of what if superheroes were real, and if they had a system something like major league sports for deciding who makes it to the big leagues...and who doesn't? 

F.A.R.M. System contains some violence and bloodshed and does not contain nudity or extreme language. While books aren't age rated the same way movies and shows are, the content in F.A.R.M. System is about equivalent to what might be in a PG-13 movie. While I encourage you to buy the book at his event at Acme Comics, it's also available at Amazon (this is an affiliate link):

Our thoughts:

We are looking forward to reviewing this book soon! A copy is headed our way and I'll update soon after it comes.

If you've seen the movie The Big Lebowski, you may have caught this scene: And Sioux City Sarsaparilla is real (and it really is a good one!) Here's the full story on Sioux City Sarsaparilla: What is Sioux City Sarsaparilla? Sioux City Sarsaparilla is the signature drink from White Rock's Sioux City line . In 1973, White Rock president Albert Morgan wanted to start a western inspired line of classic American soft drinks, with a frontier feel. He chose Sioux City as his inspiration! Sioux City Sarsaparilla is known as "the Grandaddy of all root beers" and has a creamy taste somewhere between root beer and cream soda. And it's the most bought sarsaparilla in the US!

Best Kid Birthday Venues in Sioux City & Siouxland

I'm a big fan of birthday parties, whether they're your immediate family around the dining room table, or a big bash with tons of friends and classmates, and Sioux City has great options for any size party. Here are some things to consider before choosing a venue, and then some recommendations for the best places to host a birthday party in Sioux City! How to choose a birthday venue Choosing a birthday party venue is so simple. And so complicated! Here are some considerations to make before picking. Price : wouldn't it be cool if this wasn't a thing? Unfortunately, it is, and most birthday venues outside of your own home or backyard do have some kind of fee. Make sure the party venue you choose is within your budget, so the birthday party stays fun and not a burden! There are some ways to cut costs, but they often bring risks with them--for example, the city parks are free to use.
