So I thought, I’ll make a comic about it and then people will understand what it’s like. It’s a little bit different now, stuff is changing a little bit but at the time people were very confused or dismissive or just really didn’t get it. So just to start out, why did you decide to make this graphic memoir? What inspired you to start with it?īEX: At the time, it was just because there wasn’t anything around about asexuality so it was just something I wanted to do to explain to people what it’s like cause when I was first making it, most people were quite dismissive. I read it and that is what I also got out of it. I think that’s a good simple explanation. KAYLA: So for anyone who’s listening who might not know about you or the graphic novel, do you want to do a short introduction of yourself?īEX: I’m a comic artist and I’ve done a graphic memoir which is like an autobiographical story about my experiences of being asexual.
There’s barely any - well there’s more now, but y’know, three years ago, there was nothing. We love having people who have written and made things about ace-ness because there’s so little of it.īEX: I know, there’s nothing. And we have Bex on today to talk to us about it. KAYLA: This week we’re talking about another amazing ace piece of literature? Graphic novel-ature? Media? We are talking about the graphic novel How to Be Ace, a graphic memoir about asexuality by Rebecca Burgess. Kayla, what are we talking about this week? SARAH: Anyway, let’s brush past this as we always do when we have guests on the pod. KAYLA: On today’s episode: How to Be Ace. SARAH: talk about all things to do with love, relationships, sexuality, and pretty much anything else that we just don’t understand.
