Line up

The annual Comics Arts Brooklyn festival of graphic novels moves to art institute Pratt this year, so the event will feature a chat with Pratt alumni and cartooning giants Jules Feiffer, “Zippy the Pinhead” creator Bill Griffiths, and “Spy vs. Spy” artist Peter Kuper (pictured), along with an exhibit hall featuring more than 100 local cartoonist.

11 am–7 pm at Pratt Institute (200 Willoughby Ave. between Hall Street and Classon Avenue in Clinton Hill, www.comicartsbrooklyn.com). Free.

Dank in the dark

The Cannabis Film Festival happening today aims higher than Cheech and Chong movies, with a line-up of weed-themed documentaries, romances, and horror films — including the Bushwick-set psychedelic slasher flick “Psychotic!” (pictured). Predictably, the 4:20 pm screening of short films has already sold out.

Inspiration: Caroonist Peter Kuper, who draws “Spy vs. Spy” for Mad Magazine, will speak at Comic Arts Brooklyn at Pratt University on Nov. 11.

Big in Japan

Watch the big guys grapple while you load up on food at “Sumo Stew.” A sumo match from Japan will be streaming on a six-foot screen, while the audience devours a traditional sumo wrestler stew, bento boxes, and other Japanese dishes, along with sample sips of sake, shochu, and Brooklyn Brewery beers.

Space out!

Get your glitter on at the cosmic disco event “Light and Space,” an immersive theater piece and party from synthpop act Ariana and the Rose, featuring bizarre characters — including drag queen Horrochata — and scripted scenes designed to create the feeling of Studio 54 in space, and ending with a concert and galactic rave.

9 pm at House of Yes [2 Wyckoff Ave. at Jefferson Street in Bushwick, (646) 838–4937, www.houseofyes.org]. $15–$20.

Total party kill: The film “Psychotic! A Brooklyn Slasher” screeens on Nov. 12 as part of the Cannabis Film Festival.
