SPX Panel: Blurring The Visual Lines in Fantasy Fiction


Hello dear reader! It’s been a bit of quiet time at Sequential State as I work on Fieldmouse Press, the brand new nonprofit publisher I launched with Rob Clough, Dan Elkin, and Ryan Carey, at the beginning of the month. During all the hubbub, I also planned and moderated two panels at SPX. Here’s the first – Blurring The Visual Lines in Fantasy Fiction.

To be frank, I was a little nervous at the beginning of the panel, and you can definitely tell. It’s not often that you get to talk with such talented cartoonists. It was also a packed house, not a spare seat in the room. Despite my nerves, it was a great panel with lots of insightful comments from the cartoonists. I had a great time moderating. Thanks especially to Meagan LeBlanc for translating for Anne and Yann – you made the panel possible.

The video is about 45 minutes long, and is embedded below – have a watch! New reviews and other content will be coming next week.


Sequential State is made possible in part by user subscriptions; you subscribe to the site on Patreon for as little as a dollar a month, and in return, you get additional content; it’s that simple. Your support helps pay cartoonists for illustration work, and helps keep Sequential State independent and ad-free. And if you’re not into monthly subscriptions, you can also now donate to the site on Ko-Fi.com. Thanks!
