Announcing Lynda Barry's Picture This

Coming this October is Picture This Lynda Barry's companion book to the bestselling What It Is. To celebrate this, here's a wonderful interview with Lynda conducted by Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer through The New York Times Knowledge Network and the University of Toronto School for Continuing Studies.


If you have never heard Lynda explain how she loves when people mishear lyrics, she explains here how she misheard the lyrics to the Rascals "Groovin" when she was 11, and how sad she was to find out the real lyrics. She then touches on the "specifics vs the general" and how to move from memory to fiction, and the bridge between text and drawing, and there's much more but go read it!
