Rutu Modan: Hearing it from you, it’s really a compliment. It’s one of the most entertaining, engaging, funniest comics that I’ve read in years. Jason Lutes: First of all, I love this book. With Lutes zooming in from Vermont and Modan from Tel Aviv, their conversation touched on the utility of archeology for Zionists, how to draw the subterranean, and the kind of people who have a cliche for every occasion. Vivid characters vie for control, events take unexpectedly hilarious turns, farce folds in on itself, and a cow jumps over the moon.” “Rutu Modan has written and drawn a true adventure story for the modern age, where a classic quest for precious antiquities is complicated by human relationships and real-world politics. The driving force behind November’s conversation was Modan’s fourth English-language book, Tunnels, translated by Ishai Mishory. Rutu Modan ( Tunnels, Exit Wounds, The Property) and Jason Lutes ( Berlin) spoke to one another as part of D+Q Live, a fall event series by the graphic novel publisher Drawn & Quarterly.
