Healthy Geek Academy

August 18, 2020

This interview is a very special one, TRUST and believe. Robyn talks with comics creator, Hugo Award nominee, Wendy Xu. The pair discuss nerd influences in childhood, breaking away from the “achy bones loney artist” stereotype, and just really wanting to be able to carry groceries in one trip. Things that are ENDLESSLY RELATABLE.

You can follow Wendy on twitter @AngrygirLcomics and on IG @artofwendyxu or check out her site http://www.artofwendyxu.com/ and her Gumroad page https://gumroad.com/wendyxu
