I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

I can't overstate what a tour de force Michael Crummey's 2025 Dublin prize winner "The Adversary" is. Go go go read it! Or listen to this, I don't really spoil anything that's not in the first 30-40 pages.
Thank you so much @erlking.bsky.social 🖤
