Katherine Bettis Joins us on the podcast this week.Katherine is a fairly new cartoonist to the scene, but has already had her cartoons published in Airmail, Woman's World, The Weekly Humorist and a small publication called the New Yorker.We talk with her about how she got into cartooning, her process and her cartoons.
We also learn that she has a degree in architecture and is a musician. Once again, we try to figure out what the connection is between these vocations and cartooning.
You can find Katherine's cartoons on her instagram page here:
