This episode we discuss Baby Blue by Swedish creator Bim Eriksson (translated to English by Melissa Bowers) - a lesbian love story in the wake of a fascist regime *cough cough* and A Song for You and I by K. O'Neill - a gorgeous pastoral graphic novel about courage and identity. We also talk about some movies, some other books, and some life stuff, as it were. Please note that we discuss spoilers for the first two movies (and the books too, of course, but that's why you're here anyway right?). Thanks for listening!
