In episode two of the newly christened Comics Karma, with Tom Hart and Lauren Weinstein are talking about comics and addressing students’ questions directly.
Tom and Lauren talk about their own work, and in the case of Lauren - a project that has taken more than 20 years, and then they welcome Sally Charette, who has been working on a long story about her long-lived parrot, Dodger, but she has other ideas too.
We talk about all of these things. We talked about life, death, politics, loss and rowing and crew! Lauren gave us the metaphor of the Coxswain who is in charge of the rowing crew. We all need a coxswain!
Lauren also guided us through her 5 questions about whether it’s worth it to do a side project.
Is it interesting work? (Will I learn something new, is it related to what I MOST want to do?)
How much TIME will it take? Be honest.
Who will see it?
How much does it pay?
How much will it take away from my big project ?
Tom said stuff too!
Give it a listen and come back for more. We’ll be answering a different student each week for 4 more weeks!
Thanks for listening!
