The Daily Cross Hatch sits down with up-and-coming cartoonist Julia Wertz to talk about the hazards of doing autobiographical comics:
You did the San Francisco book [Good-bye San Francisco]. It was pretty sentimental. Would you consider doing strips that don’t have a punchline?
And publish them? No, no, no. I have a lot of other stuff planned that’s serious, though. For a while I was going to make one about when I got really sick, but I realized that everyone does that, and the last thing we need is another Our Cancer Year—even though I don’t have cancer. I also want to do stories about my family, but I think I have to wait until they’re all dead, because it would be very embarrassing to them. But that’s not funny.
Sorta related: Cross Hatch also has part two of their interview with Tom Neely up now.
