Jordan is joined by podcaster, comedian, and writer, Jamie Loftus, to get insight on Jamie’s 2021 podcast mini-series, AACK Cast! The two discuss the cultural significance of the comic strip, CATHY, the politics of different waves of feminism, and the overall history of women in comics. Jamie also shares what she personally learned from interviewing the creator of CATHY, Cathy Guisewite, as well as what she has against Forky from Toy Story 4.
