On this week’s episode of Conversation Piece, comics artist and author Sarah Myer joins the show to talk about their graphic novel Monstrous: A Transracial Adoption Story! We talk about the process of crafting such an intimate, imaginative telling of their early journey, from their love of The Little Mermaid and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a child to their experiences with racism (both external and internal) during their adolescent years and navigating their multiple intersecting identities in between it all. We also talk comics, cartoons, and so much more!
