Episode 612a: Daniel Clowes
With a few days between book tour dates, Daniel Clowes is decompressing in his Bay Area home.
It had been a few months since we’d spoken for a magazine piece – a perfect time to reflect on the critical acclaim surrounding his latest book, Monica.
It’s a deeply personal book in a number of ways, inspired by his mother who passed during the several years it took to craft.
It’s also a welcome return for one of the finest cartoonists of his generation.
