Abstract

ABSTRACT In Spring 2023, we sat down with Raina Telgemeier, #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award-winning creator of Smile, Sisters, Guts and many other comics to share our love of her work and how she has changed the conversation around comics. She shared with us her journey into comics, why the form lends itself so well to life writing, and her thoughts on the formal elements of sequential art. We also talked about how she creates her comics with her child readers in mind and especially enjoys opening up the world of comics to the inner lives of girls and well as boys. We hear a little about her upcoming work and the current retrospective of her work at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum in Columbus, Ohio.
