I live in beautiful upper Manhattan, New York, which is full of city parks. Where are you living now? How did you begin working for the Washington Post? When (within a decade is fine) and where were you born? Great question! I am working digitally more and more these days, but I still pencil and color using traditional media. How do you do it? Traditional pen and ink, computer or a combination? The last issue was about Effa Manley, the only woman in the baseball Hall of Fame.

At the moment I'm working on The Cranklet's Chronicle, a series of nonfiction comics about people who aren't (cisgender) men who have played a role in baseball history. I have done a big mix of fictional graphic novels, graphic memoir and nonfiction comics. What type of comic work or cartooning do you do? She did a Christmas strip for the Post's The Lily newsletter, so I leapt at the opportunity to consider her a DC-area cartoonist and send her the usual questions. She was in town a few weeks ago for her ex-studio mate Robin Ha's book-signing at East City Books and I was very surprised to hear that she was doing comics for the Washington Post. A woman of eclectic interests, she's done comics on conscientious objectors in England in World War I, 1960's Coney Island, and woman's baseball, as well as editing anthologies such as British women's collection, The Strumpet. I've known Ellen Lindner for a long time, initially through her comics-collecting husband, but then directly as she moved back to the US and became a regular exhibitor at SPX. By retelling Homer's epic about Odysseus' difficult journey home after the Trojan War, and weaving in the stories of contemporary Marines, The Odyssey of Sergeant Jack Brennan powerfully conveys the profound challenges today's veterans face upon returning from combat even as it tells "the oldest war story of all time." On their last night in-country, Brennan shares his version of The Odyssey to help prepare his squad for the transition back to the home front. A few years prior, Sergeant Brennan lost one of his closest friends-a young combat veteran-to suicide and has vowed to do everything in his power to keep his Marines from a similar fate. Jack Brennan is a Marine Corps sergeant whose infantry squad has been cleared to return home from a grueling deployment to Afghanistan. A bold and original graphic novelization of The Odyssey that is both a powerful story for our time-capturing its timeless lessons for returning veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq-as well as a vivid new way into Homer's classic for modern readers.
