Today’s show has not one, not two, but THREE Canadian cartoonists on the mics ready to chat with Greg.
As you can probably
guess, the running theme here is Pow Pow. More specifically,
Editions Pow Pow, a Montreal-based publisher with the goal of
spreading the work of Quebec cartoonists to bookshelves of French-
or English-speaking readers across the globe.
Pow Pow came to our attention thru
François, but it KEPT out attention with books like the ones
previously mentioned, but also Cathon’s The Pineapples of
Wrath, Sophie Bedard’s Lonely Boys, and Éloïse
Marseille’s Naked: The Confessions of a Normal
Woman.
The goal of today’s chat is to be nothing less than the best English-language primer on Pow Pow – how it came to be, what it is, and where it’s going.
