Gutter is a free comic reading and animation show, providing accessible space for both creators and community to share their work and connect with like-minded people. Gutter x Witch Window celebrates the launch of Witch Window, a risograph printed comics anthology, and features readings by contributing artists Sophie Page, Sanika Phawde, Kyle Canyon, Jill Lydon and Ana Two. The anthology is inspired by “witch windows”, diagonal windows found in Vermont homes, named so due to the belief that witches cannot fly through tilted openings. Witch Window serves as an entryway to the contrasting sections within, a collection of odd “rooms” filled with each artist’s unique ideas. 

Usually when you talk to any Smiths fan, the refrain is always the same: "I love the Smiths, but I hate Morrissey."
