The transition from child to adult can be a treacherous time in our lives: bodies change in unexpected ways, friendships shift and break, and the struggle to discover oneself is anything but straightforward. But these always confusing, sometimes frightening, and often cringe-worthy years are absolutely foundational, setting the stage for our adult lives. Is it any wonder that cartoonists have so often sought inspiration in the ups and downs of adolescence? Cassandra Calin (The New Girl), Ned Wenlock (Tsunami), and D. Boyd (Denniveniquity) get together to explore memory and creativity in this resonant and relatable discussion.
