Godzilla in The Wild West



Here's a (rather lengthy) interview followed by a question and answer session that took place at Columbus Museum of Art during my recent residency at Thurber House. Thanks to Jared Gardner (Professor of English and Film Studies at The Ohio State University) for all his thoughtful questions, as well as all the great questions and comments from the audience. We covered a pretty wide gamut of subjects, from the Chicago and Ohio cartoon worlds, to psychedelic puppets, to Godzilla in the wild west. A little something for everyone.

Rilke and Zeno: Two Talks



Above and below are talks given during my recent graphic novelist's residency at Thurber House in Columbus, Ohio. Tammy Birk (Professor of English, Otterbein University) discusses themes in "Mother, Come Home" while Ryan Jordan (Department of Philosophy, The Ohio State University) examines the nature of paradoxes in general, using Zeno's paradoxes in "The Three Paradoxes" as a launching point.

I wasn't present at the talks but wanted to thank Tammy and Ryan for their time and thoughtful analysis. And of course thanks to Jeff Sims and the people of Columbus Museum of Art for hosting the talks and making the videos.
