In this final part of my conversation with Dana Simpson, we get the most personal, as we talk about a planned project of Dana to chronicle her gender transition, then we discuss different ways that has affected her life and other work, as well as get into some political discussion and gender theory.
How is Ozy’s jacket so cool?
How is this about Dana? Listen and find out.
Continuing our conversation with Dana Simpson, this second part (of three) focuses primarily on “Phoebe & Her Unicorn,” and how it’s changed over the years. Then we touch on a couple of other projects as well, one finished, and one left incomplete.

We start a new conversation this week, this time talking to Dana Simpson, creator of “Ozy and Millie” (now Ozy and Milo), and the NYT Bestselling “Phoebe & Her Unicorn.” This first part starts with her education, then her work on family-friendly “Ozy and Millie” and the political cartoon called “I Drew This.”

First published almost exactly 19 years ago. Sigh. It’s just too true.
