Arianna Irwin joins me to discuss her new Maverick graphic novel Penelope's Escape from the Platypusary. Arianna collaborated with artist Prenzy for a dramatic fictionalized retelling of Penelope the Platypus' escape from the Bronx Zoo in 1957. This is an incredible graphic novel that turns Penelope into the feminist icon she was always meant to be. It's filled with so many incredible characters and Prenzy's art is emotive and captivating. Arianna and I chat about the why she wanted to tell Penelope's story, working with Prenzy, what she hopes readers take away from it, and how she got her start in comics.
