About this episode

Henry Chamberlain interviews cartoonist Mary Shyne about her career and her new graphic novel.

Comics Grinder (your host Henry Chamberlain) is kicking off the new year of 2026 by sharing some greatest hits. Here is a great conversation with cartoonist Mary Shyne. This one is fairly recent too. Mary shares her views on comics and the whole creative process. This show was originally broadcast on YouTube and now we're moving forward with Spotify and various other platforms. You and Me on Repeat, published by Henry Holt & Co., is a delightful graphic novel. This is the first major graphic novel for Mary Shyne, also known for her own self-published graphic novel, Get Over It. Mary Shyne is very well-versed in the world of comics with numerous achievements: establishing a solid reputation with a self-published work; working in the book industry (Penguin Random House, no less); earning an MFA from the well respected Center for Cartoon Studies; getting her work published by a major publisher (Henry Holt & Co.); and, to top it off, Mary holds a key position at the Charles Schulz Museum. It was a pleasure to chat about Mary's career path and her new book, a story about two star-crossed time-traveling teenagers.Get the Book: https://us.macmillan.com/books/978125... Visit Mary…
