Go, Read: A Cartoonist Confronts Extremeitis

This interview with the cartoonist Chitra Padmanabhan spends a lot of time on contextual nuances for how work is received in the Indian marketplace, but even the most strained comparisons intrigue because of how little we get a discussion of Indian cartooning in English-language publications generally.

Some of this strikes me as overthought, like cutting an overlay after you get a snapshot of the landscape so that some of the holes match up for sure. I love a lot of the thinking, though, the desire to understand, say, the balance between being able to learn from any tradition the Internet can bring you and limiting yourself to a school because of physical proximity. A lot of the analysis applies to the way US cartooning organizes itself.
