We've finally reached the end of the Hocking Hills Chronicles! What a run! On this final interview from the 2021 cartoonist retreat, we talk with Columbia-based cartoonist and teacher/lecturer Emi Gennis. Known for Baseline Blvd and The Plunge: A True Story from Kilgbore Books, Emi is also an Associate Professor of Comics & Narrative Practice at the Columbus College of Art & Design. We discuss her transition from studying comics to making comics, her development as a cartoonist, and why she's dedicated the bulk of her life to an undervalued medium.

Check out more of Emi's work and their comic tutorials on her website at emigennis.com. You can also follow her on Twitter @imemi.
