Description

With just a few lines, cartoons can say so much with so little. In a moving talk, cartoonist Navied Mahdavian shares his process for distilling huge concepts into drawings on the page — and shows how his work helped him grieve the death of his beloved grandmother, flaws and all.


After the talk, Shoshana interviews Nathan Gray on the use of comics and art to educate and explore the ironies of the medical world.
