Cartoonist Keiler Roberts checks in from Chicago. Even though she was one of the people I was most worried about during the pandemic, it turns out she’s doing better than anyone else I’ve talked to. We talk about what it’s like to see the rest of the world conform to her everyday life, her MS and how the lack of day-to-day errands has reduced its toll on her, the progress she’s making on her new book, why she chose to bail on comics festivals last year, shifting her coffee-dates with friends to Zoom, how she stays grateful for little things, and more. Give it a listen! And go read Rat Time, Chlorine Gardens, Sunburning, and Miseryland, all from Koyama Press!
You can listen to all these COVID Check-In episodes at The COVID-19 Sessions.
