Their book, Infected for Science, coming out May 26th from Graphic Mundi, looks at religious pacifist David Miller and a group of conscientious objectors who took on an extraordinary mission during World War II: signing up for government-sponsored medical experiments that intentionally infected them with hepatitis to help scientists understand a disease that was sickening American soldiers fighting on the front lines. It also looks at the project\u2019s aftermath and legacy almost 80 years later.  [This episode is number 835 in a series.]  CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro  01:22 - Discovering the Archives  03:45 - Trygve Finds Comics Again  05:33 - Meeting Through Comics Class  07:31 - Comics Influences and Models  08:34 - Trygve Comic Origins  12:30 - Building Dual Timeline Story  15:15 - Miller Cartoons Tone  18:56 - Art Style and Accent Color  23:14 - Publisher Pitch and Feedback  28:38 - Page Design and Lettering  31:03 - Seamless Reading Flow  32:12 - Internal Logic Design  33:08 - Dance With Death Spread  38:12 - Creative Nonfiction Boundaries  38:54 - Ethics And Compensation  42:51 - Who Gets Harmed  45:58 - Why Comics Worked  49:14 - Collaboration And Outreach  52:52 - Moral Complexity And Empathy  59:17 - Outro ","author_name":"Robots From Tomorrow!","author_url":"https:\/\/robotsfromtomorrow.net","html":"
