Artist K. Woodman-Maynard has a bold take on beloved ‘Tuck Everlasting’
In a comic she drew before bedtime one night, K. Woodman-Maynard manifested a project that would occupy her for the next couple of years. The author and cartoonist, who lives in south Minneapolis with husband Mike Schowalter and a one-eyed Vizsla named Leif, writes a “diary comic” each night. Creator of a graphic novel version of “The Great Gatsby” that came out in 2021, she craved a new project. So Woodman-Maynard, who grew up in Golden Valley, Minnesota, drew a portrait of herself in a Wonder Womanlike position, with arms akimbo. “Two days later, the call came,” said Woodman-Maynard, who also writes her own original comics and works as a comics coach, helping other artists create work and feel good about it.
