I’m doing a panel with another author next week at a book festival, putting our two books side by side along the common thread of “borders” (my comic, his travel journal). I’ve had such fun drawing 6 panels trying to build thematic & visual bridges. Thinking through comics is so productive for opening up dialogues. (Ha! I hope this actually works in practice on a stage, however…)
