“I’d rather do something that nobody else would do if I didn’t do it. That’s why I made TOON Books.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"_2966605_orig\"<\/a>Live from CXC<\/a>!<\/em> Designer, editor and publisher Francoise Mouly<\/a> joins the show to talk about 20+ years of New Yorker<\/a><\/em> covers, launching TOON Books<\/a>\u00a0and cultivating a love for\u00a0print, the pros and cons of going viral, the changing definitions of what’s offensive (and the time she got hauled into a meeting with an Arab Anti-Defamation League), the notion that comics are the gateway drug for reading, and more! (Sorry, no talk about her time with RAW magazine<\/a>, since she and her husband, Art Spiegelman<\/a> were interviewed about that later at the festival.) This episode is part of our Cartoon Crossroads Columbus<\/a> series of live podcasts.<\/em>\u00a0Give it a listen!<\/a><\/p>\n

“The cover of The New Yorker<\/em> is where the artists have a voice, on a par with the prose authors.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"francoiseandmebyamy\"We also talk about Charlie Hebdo<\/em>, the historical arc of gay marriage covers, the contrasts of her multimodal education in France with the American model, which comics she started her kids off with, how she deals with the moving target of diversity, the evolution of women in the comics scene, and why kids are a fantastic audience. Go listen!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

“There are some topics the media won’t touch with the same willingness. . . . It would be more interesting if there wasn’t such jitteriness.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
