Inside and Outside the Frame

Why comics are so good at metafiction

I presented this comic at Drawn Literature in Aotearoa NZ: Contemporary perspectives / Littérature dessinée en Aotearoa - Nouvelle-Zélande: perspectives contemporaines. Thanks again to Lambert Barthélémy and Nelly Gillet at Montpellier University for organising such a cool conference.

This presentation/comic is very much for comics nerds (also, it is too long for email so you will have to open it in the Substack app). It should make sense by itself but will make more sense if you have read Dylan Horrock’s Hicksville and my book This Is Not a Pipe.
