Richmond's Dash Shaw on Virtual Memories
Episode 457 – Dash Shaw
"With all of the things that I do, the form and the content have to feel like they're perfectly synced, that they're each boosting each other up. It also has to be connected with how they're made."
Cartoonist and animator Dash Shaw joins the show to celebrate his new book, Discipline (New York Review Comics), a Civil War-era story about a Quaker who joins the Union army. We get into how Dash's upbringing as a Quaker in Virginia led him to this book, the New York Public Library fellowship that exposed him to letters and diaries from the time, the artwork of the era and how it influenced the "floating" visual style of Discipline, and his urge to depict the moments that are left unchronicled. We also discuss the Quaker debate over paying a military tax during the Civil War, the sense of growing up in an area haunted by that period of history, the multi-year layering process of making this book and how it converged and diverged with the making of his amazing new animated movie, Cryptozoo (Magnolia Pictures), and how story dictates form & style. We also reminisce about a bookstore panel he did with Frank Santoro once upon a time, and how their tooth-and-nail arguments over the nature of comics gave him hope that there's plenty of room for comics to grow. Give it a listen! And go read Discipline!
"I've made other books and animated movies, but nothing has been as hard as this book. Nothing was as picked over and fraught with indecision."
"How much does it matter what I'm thinking, or my motivations for anything? Maybe all that matters is what my body is actually doing. Or maybe what matters is what I'm thinking, and how I'm passing along these thoughts. It's a bizarre thing to try to articulate, but I think it's the content of this book."
"There are so few books or media about Quakers, that I feared I was going to disappoint people by not giving them information."
Enjoy the conversation! Then check out the archives for more great episodes!

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Havana Syndrome"
"Havana Syndrome"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3328
Well, at long last revealed: the source of that noise that's driving
the staff of the U.S. Embassy in Havana — and the U.S. State
Department — outta their goddamn skulls.
Why, it's the sound of a successful Socialist state right in our
backyard, inventing a fistful of Covid-19 vaccines, being recognized
by a major U.S. medical journal, helping to vaccinate the rest of the
region, treating healthcare as a public good and beating down the
pandemic — all while under continuous blockade, economic warfare waged
by the U.S.
No wonder Gropin' Joe and Skinny Mike Pompeo are screaming "SOMEBODY
MAKE IT STOPPPPP!!"
