Roz Chast, the award-winning cartoonist for The New Yorker magazine, has created a world of laughter despite painful circumstances. In this episode of The Thread, Chast describes her far-from-comic childhood without mincing words: “I couldn’t stand my parents. A terrible thing to say, but true.” She highlights the impact of iconic cartoonist Charles Addams on her work and explains how storytelling through cartoons has allowed her – and millions of readers – to develop empathy, forge meaningful connections, and express the joy of life with her unique gift of humor.
