Join author and cartoonist Dave Ortega and me as we discuss the importance of capturing family stories in this episode of my podcast Cheers, Dears. We chat about how talking with our families helps to increase our empathy and opens our eyes to the struggles of those who have come before us. Dave also talks about how to develop your style as a comic book artist.

This interview happened in the summer of 2020, but I thought it was a nice fit as I was coming out of ComicCon and we're now fully in to the holiday season. ComicCon was a blast, but it was EXHAUSTING so I decided to air this throw-back episode. If you're interested in learning about becoming a comic artist or storyteller, this episode is for you!
