We are Andrea Kantrowitz, artist/educator, and Scott Benjamin, magician/lawyer/reconteur/bon vivant; partners in comics and in life!
Our particular comic focuses not on the tragedy of the pandemic and the disease, but on the minutia of everyday life, as it has become more narrowly circumscribed by the quarantine. Making this comic has helped us focus on the small and endlessly fascinating details of our lives and of our relationship. A friend had mentioned to us that during the quarantine, there are days, she can only lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling. It is our hope that even after things go back to “normal” - we will still remember to lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling sometimes, together, because even when we’re healthy and not scared, there’s no telling what wonders we’ve overlooked and what we’ll notice up there, and in each other. |
