New Yorker cover artist — 24 covers, to be exact — and New York Times best-selling author Harry Bliss launches his new graphic memoir, You Can Never Die, at discussions across Vermont. The poignant, humorous work features Bliss’ heartwarming illustrations paired with thoughtful, tender essays that capture the ardent bond between human and canine and the immeasurable void that opens with a beloved pet’s departure. The loss of his scrappy pup, Penny, who made countless cameos in his cartoons, proved the catalyst for Bliss’ reflective memoir, a consummate representation of how grief can be processed — and even healed — through art.
