Anna Paßlick’s original interest in comics awoke really late. Even though she always loved drawing, she didn’t read comics as a kid and only found them a couple of years ago when she was a teacher in social anthropology at the university. Today, she is super curious to explore social and political questions with her comics and tries to render complex information more accessible in non-fiction comics, while also exploring what the world might look like otherwise.
Currently, she is working for the first time on a longer fictional story that tells a story of grief and loss, but also intergenerational friendship between the two lesbian women Odelie (in her 60s) and Greg (in her 30s). The story is very close to her heart and she is super happy to work on it, also, because the research process for it has already brought a lot of new connections into her life and she thinks, in the end, the reason why she makes comics is because she loves the way that people can connect over and through stories.
