Abstract

This article presents the outcome of a semi-structured interview with Australian writer and illustrator Megan Herbert.

The annotated transcription offers insights into process, personal and professional issues in freelance cartooning, and the challenges and opportunities of cartoon publishing on social media. This article offers qualitative data that can be useful for researchers interested in the history, techniques, and current developments of cartooning, and for cartoonists interested in the experience of fellow professionals during pandemic times.
