But then what happened is what happens to a lot of people in our current education system. I remember one class project where we each made a little book by writing a 10-page story and drawing pictures for it. In elementary school, I became interested in seeing pictures and words together, like in comics. My mom set aside dedicated playtimes for me she’d give me Play-Doh and ask, “Will you make me something?” I also remember copying Garfield cartoons with my cousin using butcher paper and crayons on my grandmother’s kitchen floor. (laughing) Both my parents worked in education: my dad was an associate professor for Ohio State and ran the 4-H program in our county, and my mother worked in education as a guidance counselor and later as an elementary and high school principal. Thanks to my dad, I have two half-brothers and a stepsister, but I am my mother’s only child, which I believe is biographically significant. I lived in the middle of cornfields, and I think that’s where a lot of my inspiration came from. I was raised in a small, rural town in Ohio called Circleville, probably not too far from where Chris Glass grew up. Describe your path to what you’re doing now.
