"There's a page where I walk through Quimby's and daydream about my eventual book on the shelf," she says. Since their September wedding, she and John bought a house in Ukrainian Village. And Knisley doesn't just have one book on a Quimby's shelf — she has four (and counting). Recently, during a walk through Wicker Park on the first warm day of spring, Knisley reminisced. As a student at the School of the Art Institute Chicago, she rented an apartment off Damen Avenue — perfect for its proximity to a copy shop (for printing zines) and Quimby's (for selling them). The bar where she used to swap drawings for drinks has shut its doors. Earwax Cafe, the Chicago arts scene staple where Knisley once grabbed lunch with comics legend Scott McCloud, has been gone for years. Over time, Knisley herself has come and gone from Chicago.
