Episode Description
Gabrielle & Tom K read the work of Olivier Schrauwen. We admire how Schrauwen's playful deadpan optimism underpins much darker themes and stories. The wide-ranging discussion touches on Rodolphe Töpfer, Physiognomy, Michel Houellebecq, mental trolling, music in comics, Yuichi Yokoyama, and the colonial history of Belgium. Join us to hear how Schauwen's work restored our faith in comics! Works read: MOME 12, Parallel Lives, Arsene Schrauwen (all available from Fantagraphics).
