Australian cartoonist Pat Grant joined me for a nice and thorough discussion of his book, Blue. Pat has been doing some really great theory work with his comics, understanding the narrative tradition he is working in.

Awesome interview and really interesting would love to read Pat’s thesis when it’s done. What were the songs played during this podcast and is there a way of finding the track names on your webpage!
I loved this interview. Australian race riots, Floridian comix camps, elopements: who knew?
Can’t wait to read Blue.
I prefer my Australians as bone-headed rednecks a la “Romper Stomper”, thank you very much.
I think there’s quite a clear and distinct line between being racially hateful and having racial chauvinism. the Mega-machine doesn’t care what kind of culture it crams down people’s throats and it doesn’t care about any friction caused by shifting big segments of its slave population around. (yeah, I know I’m being a little over-dramatic)
