"A.I. took the work. Gigs replaced jobs. Ordinary people are left to scrape together lives in a world that's no longer built for them." That's the blurb for GIGS, an upcoming graphic novel drawn by Si Smith and written by Mark Mosedale, but it could describe this Tuesday.
Join Mark and Si as they discuss how they spent seven years making the right graphic novel for this exact second, finding hope and getting things done in dark times, and the question 'why comics?'
