Sarah Drake has an extensive and very smart interview with Sarah Glidden up at Bad at Sports. It’s a really savvy conversation about comics, journalism, and being an artist.
Drake has created tremendous comics from Cambodia, and Glidden, a contributor to Symbolia, is working on a new book about journalism and the Middle East (check out the sneak peek above!). Their chat is totally worth a read.
We’re closing our reader survey in just one week! Pop on over and let us know what you love about Symbolia—or what you’d like to see us do differently. One lucky survey-taker will win an art print of their choosing.
Get your submissions in, folks!
