Alternative cartoonist Lynda Barry makes a resurgence — chicagotribune.com

Wonderfully long profile in the Chicago Tribune. Lots of goodies: how little she was making drawing Ernie Pook and why she decided to quit, how WHAT IT IS has sold 30,000 copies, the novel she’s writing “about a man who decides he’s not going to live long enough to write a book so he creates the spines of books he might have written”, gushing quotes from Chris Ware, Ivan Brunetti, Alison Bechdel…well worth reading!

Don’t miss the photo gallery with pictures of her work.
