Books by Gary Groth

These interviews delve deeply into the moral, aesthetic, and intellectual foundations of Schulz''s worldview and his art. They reveal a man at once humble and self-deprecating, but also assured of his talents and success. Some days he feels like the hopeless, downtrodden Charlie Brown, while other days he revels in being an artist made rich and famous through the sheer mastery of his art.

In this issue, Gary Groth interviews Roz Chast, the New Yorker humor cartoonist turned graphic memoirist (Can''t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?). TCJ #306 focuses on the intersections between comics and politics. It includes op-eds on the importance (and lack thereof) of modern political cartooning, and a profile about Anne Thalheimer, a DIY cartoonist turned local politician.
