Ethan Rilly, creator of Pope Hats from AdHouse Books, joins us this week to discuss the comic, how he received a 2008 Xeric Foundation grant to assist in distributing it, about upcoming works, and a couple of comics that are among his recent favorites.
Winner of the 2008 Xeric Foundation Grant! Pope Hats follows the trials of a young woman named Frances Scarland, whose social circle mainly consists of an alcoholic actress and an inept ghost named Saarsgard. An engaging slice-of-life story about young people navigating their own daily shortcomings, Pope Hats was shortlisted for the 2008 Doug Wright Awards in the category of Best Emerging Talent, celebrating excellence in Canadian cartooning.
