“Before I did I Never Liked You<\/em> I would think about those high school bullies and I would get angry about them. After doing that book, I was no longer angry. I was able to put them in context and see them as just kids. . . . I think you do see things in your life differently when you’re forced to sit down and write it out and draw it out.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chester Brown<\/a> has carved a singular path in the cartooning world, starting more than 30 years ago with his groundbreaking mini-comic, Yummy Fur<\/em>. We got together during the Toronto Comic Arts Festival<\/a> to talk about the evolution of his work, the response to his 2011 book, Paying for It: A Comic-Strip Memoir About Being a John<\/a>\"\", the many reasons sex workers love him,\u00a0the perfect Venn diagram of his next book,\u00a0how he learned to abandon the negative aspects of religion and embrace the good stuff,\u00a0and more!\u00a0Give it a listen!<\/a><\/p>\n

“Ultimately I think we should be working to do away with government as much as possible, and if that means we can do away with government completely, that’d be great. I’m just not sure we can get that far.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More importantly, this episode features the Paying For It Players<\/strong>! Past pod-guest Nina Bunjevac<\/a> joins Chester to perform a segment from Paying for It<\/a>\"\"! This may be the funniest thing that’s ever happened on the Virtual Memories Show<\/em>; of course, it wasn’t my idea. If we’re lucky,\u00a0this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!<\/p>\n
