Alison Bechdel’s Superhuman Strength [Stuck in Vermont 638]

Vermont cartoonist Alison Bechdel’s new graphic novel The Secret to Superhuman Strength documents her lifelong obsession with fitness during the last six decades. The former cartoonist laureate of Vermont and a MacArthur fellow, Alison is also known for her comic strip “Dykes to Watch Out For” and her graphic novels Are You My Mother? and Fun Home. The latter became a Tony-award winning Broadway musical and will soon be adapted into a film.

Eva visited Alison at her home near Bolton to hear about her new book and to see some of her cartoon panels come to life.
