David Lynch’s oeuvre showed the eruption of the monstrous into the everyday as a way of addressing unseen strands in the American social fabric. Towards different ends, cartoonists Boum and Julia Gfrörer depict uncanny apparitions intruding upon their characters’ daily life to visualize the unseen and the intangible. In The Jellyfish, Boum’s protagonist begins to see dark jellyfish everywhere as a metaphor for encroaching vision impairment. In World Within the World and other works, Gfrörer’s obscure wraiths emerge in tandem with emotional crises. The Comics Journal co-editor Sally Madden (Thick Lines) will lead this enlightening conversation.
