“Our idea of debt is really scary.”
On Episode 6, Lauren talks about turning 30 before speaking with superstar illustrator Jillian Tamaki (This One Summer, SuperMutant Magic Academy) about the curse of absolute freedom, Toronto vs. New York, and not relying on your parents for advice.
From a few weeks ago! I was in a weird mood when we recorded it!

Look for award winning cartoonist and illustrator Jillian Tamaki’s comic strip Platform in the subway cars this week! Jillian presents us with quick snapshots – the familiar life cycle of the subway platform – entering the station, passing a bit of time, then finally hopping on the subway car – a cycle that repeats with every incoming train on every platform in the city.
