Welcome to the True North Country Comics Podcast — originating in Canada and celebrating comic book and graphic novel creators and supporters.
On this episode, I chat with Jarett Sitter about the new young reader’s graphic novel Ready, Cassette, Go! published by Annick Press.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, Jarett Sitter is an award-winning illustrator, animator, and artist with extensive experience creating artwork for the music industry, and magazines such as The Believer. Jarett graduated with a BFA in New Media from the University of Lethbridge in 2007. Growing up inspired by skateboarding graphics, music, album covers, and Saturday morning cartoons, Jarett’s art plays with these nostalgic elements to bring forward peculiar worlds. Jarett’s debut graphic novel, promoted by CBC Books for student’s return to school, is entitled Ready, Cassette, Go!
Ready, Cassette, Go! takes place in “Cassette City — the coolest place to hang out: at the arcade or the skate park, at the monster movie marathon, or snagging your favourite band’s newest album at the music store. On cassette tape, of course! When a wisecracking raccoon, an easygoing mushroom, and a robot with big feelings recruit the standoffish new girl Melody Li to help them win the Rock Your Socks battle of the bands, Melody might just discover that these misfit musicians are the friends she really needs. After all, life is better when you band together!”
