Veteran Gay Cartoonists: In the first of two Pride themed episodes of Panel Borders, Alex Fitch talks to a pair of veteran gay cartoonists about their auto/biographical books on LGBTQIA+ history. Kate Charlesworth discusses Sensible Footwear: A Girl’s Guide published by Myriad Editions, which tells her history as a lesbian cartoonist, interwined with the history of notable queer lives in the 20th Century; David Shenton chats about his graphic novel Forty Lies – A Work of Ipsedixitism Published by Knockabout Comics, which mixes tongue in cheek autobiography with a chronicle of the gay community, in an interview recorded at the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich.

Shorter edit originally broadcast on Resonance FM, on Weds 4th June 2025
