The GOAT. I think it’s the only book that I’ve anticipated like I would a new album from a band — collecting the Tin House excerpt, the free comic book day workbook, etc. before the release. https://austinkleon.com/2020/12/19/lynda-barrys-what-it-is/
This is awesome! Thank you for writing this! Am I mixing up my newsletters or did you say you're working on a novel now? So cool to know you started out in creative writing and made your way to art. I'm doing things the other way around, but finally starting a graphic novel while finishing my prose fiction novel. Thanks for doing what you do!

I read "What it is" for the first time last year and it blew me away. I love Lynda Barry!
Love this! You perfectly captured what it feels like to discover her work. Her book "Syllabus" is incredible also.
Dear Hallie,
Love Lynda Barry!
I think about her saying "How old do you have to be to make a bad drawing" FREQUENTLY!
Thank you for sharing!
Love
