Why Renren Galeno Drew Her Pulitzer-Nominated Comic as a Webtoon (Aftershow Preview)

In our Patreon-exclusive aftershow, Yan and Nat continue the
conversation with Filipino visual artist Renren Galeno, illustrator
of the Pulitzer-nominated webcomic "Searching for Maura," a work of
comics journalism about Maura, who was trafficked from the
Philippines to the United States in 1904 to be put on display at
the St. Louis World's Fair. In this audio preview, Renren talks
about her choice to draw the comic as a vertical scroll webtoon,
and how that format gave her more tools to tell Maura's story, as
well as reach a wider audience of readers. In the rest of the
episode, Renren talks about her debut book Sa Wala, her
relationship with horror, and the process of translating comics. If
