Comic books about stuttering

Episode 225: The stuttering experience depicted in sequential art. Just in time for International Stuttering Awareness Day! We hear from the creators of two new comic books, Gareth Cowlin and Joe Stone, who drew and wrote Floor is Lava and Stutter respectively. Both books were drawn directly from each of their experiences of growing up stuttering, and in the case of Gareth’s, dealing with the loss of a sibling. If you enjoy comics and how the medium is perfect for pulling readers into the character’s world, you won’t want to miss this! Apologies in advance for all the wind noise in my intro, number, and outro.
