Katie and Sally discuss “Beautiful Darkness” (2014) by Fabien Vehlmann and Kerascoët, an adorable tale about some cute little sprites who live in — DEAR GOD. Topics discussed include Tales from the Crypt, Red Wall, Red Bull, working with watercolor, Hans Christian Andersen, Miyazaki, and Sally presents a theory about artists and noses. Next time: “Orochi: The Perfect Edition, vol. 1” by Kazuo Umezu. (We say Moyoco Anno’s “In Clothes Called Fat” is next in this episode, but are putting that on hold to celebrate the release of the new Umezu volume which snuck up on us!)
