Fraser Geesin on 27 March



This month's guest sees former Cartoon County interviewer Fraser Geesin become the interviewee, as he'll be talking to Alex Fitch about his recent comics such as Tales from 500 Songs and Pricks, as well as the latter's prequel Purple Hate Balloon.

Fraser also does stand-up comedy, and might talk about the connections between writing comedy, and scripts for comics.

Recent titles include collaborations with animator Laurie Rowan and music journalist Andrew Hickey, so there are many aspects of Fraser's work to talk about!

Info about all of Fraser's projects can be found on his website frasergeesin.com

Eliza Fricker on 27 February



Our guest this month is Eliza Fricker, who will be talking about her new graphic novel Can't Not Won't: A Story About A Child Who Couldn't Go To School, published this month by Jessica Kingsley. Eventbrite link for registration here

This follows on from her previous illustrated book from the same publisher - The Family Experience of PDA: An Illustrated Guide to Pathological Demand Avoidance - with both titles drawing on her experience of raising a child who can't go to school. Fricker has also illustrated Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person, written by Cathy Wassell, CEO of Autistic Girls Network.

Read more about Eliza's work about autism on her “Missing the Mark” blog, which began in early 2020 as a deeply personal and all too human exploration of a mother’s journey navigating the education system and everyday life with a child who can’t go to school.

In response to overwhelmingly positive and supportive feedback Eliza has since launched a limited run companion Missing The Mark Podcast, authored several works on the subject of autism and the education system, and launched a series of Talks, Consulations, and online courses to support parents in similar situations. https://missingthemark.blog/

This month's get-together is a welcome return to Cartoon County for Eliza, who was last a guest in 2016, talking about her first graphic memoir - Just Getting Old - which dealt with her elderly mother's misdiagnosis.

Alongside her comics work, she is half of the Brighton-based design agency Baines and Fricker, which creates bespoke interior design for commercial and residential clients as well as producing a popular range of furniture & interior accessories.

More info at publisher's website here and and Baines and Fricker.
