Supporting and Understanding Comics

Tom Hart and Georgia Webber want to help comics creators by helping the people around them understand what they do. This first of four episodes is very informal, Tom and Georgia gathering their thoughts. Think of it as listening in as two professionals meet to try to improve their industry. In this wide-ranging talk, we talk about the Canadian grant system (they have grants there!) and jury assessment toolsWe get into teaching visual literacy in comics editing and fair compensation for artists and then a little bit about audiences and impact and a digression into Graphic Medicine. Free-ranging.
