Last week, I chatted here<\/a><\/strong> with Jarrett J. Krosoczka about his new graphic novel memoir (it’s a very graphic-novel-memoir kind of day here at 7-Imp, isn’t it?), called Hey, Kiddo<\/em> (Graphix\/Scholastic, October 2018). <\/p>\n

Today here at 7-Imp, I’m following up with some process and final images from the book. I thank Jarrett for sharing. <\/p>\n
