Drawing Outside the Lines: Winning the Stella Prize with a Graphic Novel

Drawing Outside the Lines: Winning the Stella Prize with a Graphic Novel

Award-winning cartoonist and graphic novelist Lee Lai joins us to discuss making history as the first author to win the Stella Prize for a graphic novel. In this conversation, we explore the evolving place of graphic novels in contemporary literature, the painstaking process of creating hand-painted comics, and the realities of sustaining a creative career. We also dive into the themes behind their acclaimed work, including queer friendship, anger, personal agency, and the symbolism of magpies as witnesses to the story. From building a creative life in Montreal to navigating the attention that comes with major literary success, this is an insightful conversation about storytelling, community, and what it means to create work that resonates.

What playing Irene taught Lynne about foster care

For 32 years, Lynne McGranger played Irene Roberts on Home and Away... the woman who threw open her door to young people in need and quietly parented a whole lot of Australians along the way. This week Myf sits down with Lynne to talk about life after the show, that Gold Logie moment, and the Irene-shaped hole she's left behind. It's also a conversation close to Myf's own heart, as the two get honest about foster care, family and what it really means to show up for a kid who needs someone in their corner.
