INSIDE ZOE THOROGOOD'S HEAD... a portrait of the artist as a young woman

Zoe Thorogood is just about to turn 25 and she's already an artistic force. She burst onto the comics scene with "The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott," published in 2020, about a young artist doomed to go blind. She followed that up with her brilliant memoir "It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth," about her struggles with depression.
If "Billie Scott" was an announcement of an intriguing young talent, "Centre of the Earth" all but solidified it. But one of the most intriguing things about "Centre of the Earth" is how it changes the reading of "Billie Scott." In this episode, we'll take a look at Thorogood's two works, how they interact with each other, and how Thorogood uses comics to face her demons.
