Live on Zoom
Episode 55: Ryan North
August 2, 2022
Ryan North, bestselling and Eisner Award-winning writer, joins us on August 2 for That Word Chat with Editor Mark Allen.
North, the creator of Dinosaur Comics, recently gave us the nonfiction books How To Take Over The World and How To Invent Everything, a semi-fictional graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, and the so-far-fictional Unbeatable Squirrel Girl series for Marvel.
He's also twice collaborated with William Shakespeare on choose-your-own-path versions of his plays. He lives in Toronto, where he also writes for video games and television and where he once messed up walking his dog so badly it made the news.
Episode 55 of That Word Chat was live on Zoom on August 2.

Possibly Important Notes
Your credit card will be charged monthly or annually, but you are welcome to change things at any time.
Terms are subject to change, as is life in general.
