And

You know, I've met because of the lucky moments when I have gotten to get a readership outside of just the subculture of comics.

I've met a lot of people who haven't read graphic novels before, and they often tell me, oh, I'm really nervous to read a graphic novel.

And, you know, it's still a book.

I like to remind them, you know, it's up to down when the left or right.

And there is, ideally, if the storyteller is doing their job right, there is a lot of intuitive reading in it.

I think a lot of the emotionality is just, is clear through the pictures and through the words.

I think, you know, fiction has offered so much to graphic novels in terms of how we learn how to do our craft.

And I think a lot more fiction readers and writers would benefit from looking at graphic novels to think of alternative ways of thinking about, you know, the emotionality of the story or the pacing of the story or just the strangeness of the story.

Thanks so much, Claire.
