Autobio Cartoonists in the Ignatz Thunderdome
Listen now
Description
For decades, autobio has remained one of the most beloved and debated genres within indie comics. In our second episode, we explore the form with two of its greatest contemporary practitioners, Josh Bayer and MS Harkness. Viewing their newest books side by side — Josh’s Unended and M.S.’s Time Under Tension — beautifully illuminates the variety and potential of autobio cartooning TODAY. (Both books are also nominated for Ignatz awards in this year’s graphic novel category!)   We talk about long-form vs. short form, getting your cookies and flowers, having a particularly stupid time in your life, shit-talkin', and more! Plus: the emptying of the inaugural mailbag.    Special thanks to the amazing Jason Butler for producing this episode!   Links: Josh Bayer MS Harkness Jason Butler Drew on Instagram Drew on Patreon
