Our guest on this episode was an absolute pleasure. Nancy Sack is an educator, literacy volunteer, writer, photographer, mother, and mentor to many. When co-host Amin Mashadi first moved to the United States almost 10 years ago and he started high school, Nancy was his first teacher in ESL (English as Second Language) class and ultimately helped him learn English and adapt to living in a new country. Amin has stayed connected with her over the years and considers her a mentor and guiding force. Nancy has left a lasting impact on Amin and her many other students.

One was about the relationship between print and digital comics texts, “Between Pen and Pixel,” a recording of which was released earlier this week. The second was a panel based on the book by Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden, How to Read Nancy: The Elements of Comics in Three Easy Panels. Andy Mansell, who oversees the programming every year at HeroesCon, wanted to pull together a panel of scholars to discuss the significance of How to Read Nancy and its potential place in the classroom and in scholarship. In addition, he wanted the panelists to discuss other important books about comics, comics history, and formal aspects of the medium. Other panelists included the former cohost of The Comics Alternative, Andy Kunka, Craig Fischer, Jennie Law, and the new cohost for the podcast's bi-monthly on-location episodes, Michael Kobre. The resulting panel, “How to Read Nancyand Other Indispensable Books about Comics,” is part of the ongoing series of panels that Andy Mansell organizes every year, which he calls the “Comics Canon.” A big thanks to Andy Mansell, not only for pulling together this panel, but for all of the hard he does every year in overseeing the programming at HeroesCon.

Their book How to Read Nancy: The Elements of Comics in Three Easy Panelswas released last fall from Fantagraphics Books. The authors are back on the circuit discussing their close reading of Ernie Bushmiller, but they took time to talk with the Two Guys about their landmark work. Over the course of the conversation, Mark and Paul reveal their history reading the Nancystrip, their original "How to Read Nancy" essayand the book that grew from there, the educational function of their detailed analysis, the work -- research, technological, and otherwise -- that went into this project, and, of course, there's the August 8, 1959 comic strip itself that comes under such meticulous scrutiny. Over the course of 44 steps, Paul and Mark pick apart this Nancystrip with painstaking detail. But How to Read Nancyalso includes a thorough biography overview of Ernie Bushmiller, multiple appendixes that provide abundant cultural and aesthetic context, and a "Do It Yourself" section where readers can apply the analytical skills they learn from the text. This is a must-read for every student of comics, creators and critics alike. A big THANK YOU to Craig Yoe, who actually planted the idea for this interview and became its chief encourager!  

In this episode, I welcome back one of my regular guests to the show, Nancy Hill, to share her wisdom on the importance of bringing back ceremony to our modern day culture and just how easy it is or us to do that. She shares with us the three types of ceremony and how the practice brings us into the present, creates an awareness and acknowledgment to what is happening in our inner life while we are in the midst of a transition in our outer life. She talks about how we can tend to get so busy in our day-to-day pursuits that we run the risk of missing out on the meaningful soul connection that is made when we create ceremony and move consciously from one stage of life to another.   Nancy shares how ceremony can help us take back our own ability to be in touch with the divine and remind us that we are a part of something much bigger than just ourselves.   We explore some of the most important elements of ceremony including the honoring of those who have been a part of our journey and the healing balm of story telling. Nancy encourages us to ask ourselves “is there a passage happening in my life right now that would be richer if I slowed down and dropped in to discover deeper connection? You will walk away from our chat with the 6 questions you need to answer as you consider how to incorporate ceremony into your life and equipped to experience your first ceremony as soon as you’d like to!
