Kiwi illustrator's love letter to television

From Nights, 10:30 pm on 8 October 2024

Alex Scott is an illustrator and editor who spent nine years as a cartoonist at the New Zealand Listener.

She's just released her first graphic novel - a love letter to the television shows she grew up on, and how the pictures we get sold of family, life and relationships butt up against reality.

The book is called 'Episodes' and Alex speaks to Emile Donovan.
