208 – Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?

Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?


The second comic in our Best of 2014 Graphic Novels series is “Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?” by Roz Chast. We spend a little time talking about the comic and a lot of time opening up about our experiences with death and dying. This comic does a phenomenal job of tackling a really, really tough topic: Chast depicts the end of her parents’ lives with amazing honesty and wit. This week’s fight night was “Most uncomfortable topic of conversation to have at a dinner party with acquaintances and second cousins.” For more information, go to www.WelcometoComics.com! Next week: “Andre the Giant: Life & Legend” by Box Brown.
