MK Czerwiec interviews Rick Louis and Lara Antal on their collaboration creating Ronan and the Endless Sea of Stars. Rick Louis allows the reader a look into his experiences having a child with Tay-Sachs disease. He worked with Lara Antal to make the graphic memoir a reality. Rick and Lara discuss how their partnership started and how they communicated to make the best possible story. During the interview Rick Louis mentions a quote: The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel. It is attributed to Horace Walpole quote, but also might have been originally said by Jean de La Bruyère.
