To celebrate First Second Books and the rise of graphic novels, we thought it would be fun to have graphic novelist veteran, Leland Myrick, who has been with First Second from the beginning, and Andy Hirsch, a 2016 debut graphic novelist, interview each other.

Oh man, how did I not know that Italian cartoonist Gipi has a blog? Granted, it’s in Italian (natch) so I can’t read it, but it’s worth skimming through the various pages for the nice big scans of his comics, sketchbook pages, and bee-yoo-teeful watercolours.
Gipi’s comics, including Garage Band and Notes for a War Story (both translated into English), are among my favourites. His work gifts the reader with a sense of place and atmosphere unlike any other cartoonist’s work.

I can read Italian and I found it amusing that he’s got a series of mini-comics going on right now entitled “The Incredible Story Of The Man Who Did Not Know How To Poo”. It’s pretty damn hilarious in its balance of the mundane and the surreal.
I used google translate to view the page and it said “The Man who did not know %#!^ zomg!
Thanks for passing this along! Love his work.Wish the images on his blog were bigger though.
Eric, if you click on his images, they link to big versions.
