Summary of the Podcast Episode

The podcast episode features a discussion with Mike McCobbins about his comic book, Anasazi, which incorporates unique languages into the storytelling. The comic follows the story of two clans with different languages who experience a culture clash when their children go missing. The comic uses logographic glyphs to represent the languages, with each chapter headed by a symbol and a non-English word or borrowed word, which readers can interpret to understand the dialogue. The language choices in the comic reflect real-world cultures and aim to explore themes of cultural barriers and misunderstandings. The panel layouts and visual cues in the comic also enhance the storytelling and add depth to the reader's experience.
