A promotional graphic on a black starry-space background announcing the "A City on Mars" book tour by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith. At the top, two cartoon author faces flank speech bubbles: a person with shaggy brown hair and large white-tinted glasses on the left, and a red-haired, red-bearded person on the right. A big yellow bubble reads "A CITY ON MARS" and a small white one reads "BOOK TOUR." Three tour stops are listed: New York, NY — November 8, 7 pm, The Strand Bookstore, in conversation with Randall Munroe; Reston, VA — November 9, 6 pm, Scrawl Books; Charlottesville, VA — November 11, 2 pm, Hello Comics, in conversation with Phil Plait. At lower right is the book cover showing a cross-section of a colorful underground Mars colony beneath a red rocky surface, with the subtitle "Can we settle space, should we settle space, and have we really thought this through?" The votey at the end is a hand-drawn salmon-pink rocket ship blasting upward with the word "THANKS!" lettered across its body.
