Grief takes many forms, including the absence of grief
Alison Bechdel
Self-published media are really critical. It's so heartwarming that people are still doing it in this digital age. It's just really moving and exciting. You can't really replace a beautiful little mini-comic. It doesn't translate to the computer, you know? Handmade stuff has really given me hope for humanity.
Alison Bechdel
Watching everyone root through their psyche, it just delights me. Especially R. Crumb's stuff.
