I have loved her work for a long time and especially love her ability to subtly play with the the medium. She once did a comic for This American Life, explaining how the show is recorded and put on the air. Also, the Drawing Words, Writing Pictures is an awesome book. It does such a great job of encompassing the ideas of the Eisner and McCloud books, and providing great exercises. I can't wait to try some of the exercises myself.

Both Florence and I read it, and I really dug it. I had to exercise great restraint not to write a review before Jason did. I can attest to how great this was.
