Cartoonist, illustrator, archeologist, and teacher Glynnis Fawkes<\/a> checks in from Burlington, VT. We get into how her knowledge with Ancient Greece & archeology informs her perspective on the current pandemic, and talk about how how she’s making a diary comic about her family, but setting it in 1347 during the Black Death semisorta so she can avoid drawing her kids using their iPads all the time. We get into how making Charlotte Bronte Before Jane Eyre<\/a> led her to realize how much we think we’re excused from a lot of hazards, the Angouleme residency she’s missing out on, the inspiration of Natalia Ginzburg’s Family Lexicon<\/a>, how she’s staying in touch with her comics-festival table-mates, Jennifer Hayden<\/a>, Summer Pierre<\/a>, and Ellen Lindner<\/a> (who I really need to record with), how in-person contact has become a luxury, the joys of online yoga, and more. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go read Charlotte Bronte Before Jane Eyre<\/a> and Persephone’s Garden<\/a>!<\/p>\n
