Whit Taylor, Ghost Stories
In “Why Make a Diary Comic?” published in The Believer in April of 2020, Madison, New Jersey-born cartoonist Whit Taylor identifies documentation, reflection, play, and emotional catharsis as primary motives for creating her autobiographical drawings. Communication and communion with others are equally important considerations. In Ghost Stories, Taylor’s quirky and deeply personal drawings reflect the artist’s singular experience, while inviting readers to consider how her past might resonate with their own.
