Hi Tara, like the look of your comic. I'm a current student of Degrowth and if you wanted to pursue this further, I'd say the message of degrowth is not less, but rather what the French academic Serge Latouche termed "frugal abundance" - an abundance of what we need, what gives us joy, makes us human, whatever that might be (gonna be different in different societies and cultures, right?) and a reduction in what does not, of what is not socially necessary. What I'm trying to say is that the degrowth message, if there is one is that another, more joyful, more constructive relationship with each other, with stuff and with the environment is possible. What some people call "buen vivir", the good life or living well. Anyway, would love to see you pursue this project further, cos an attractive, funny and accessible story about degrowth is crying out to be told. Take it easy, keep creating! Richard (Catalunya)
