Excerpts from Meems and Feefs by Liza Cooper / Alex Fitch interviewing Scarlett and Sophie Rickard / Cover and interior art from This Slavery
Fighting for Independence: To celebrate Women’s History Month, Alex Fitch talks to a trio of female creators whose recent work depicts characters struggling for independence. The Rickard Sisters chat about their latest graphic novel This Slavery, which adapts a Romance novel by Ethel Carnie Holdsworth featuring a fiery Marxist-feminist polemic. Also, animator turned cartoonist Liza Cooper discusses her series of books about Meems and Feefs – a pair of naughty ferrets from outer space. Both Q and As were recorded at Cartoon County in Brighton.
