Isabel Greenberg won the Observer/Jonathan Cape/Comica graphic short story prize this year for her story “Love in a Very Cold Climate”. It’s about a man from the North Pole who falls in love with a woman from the South Pole but they can never touch because they’re surrounded by a magnetic force field. It’s a gentle and lovely story, and it’s beautifully written and drawn. I just loved it.
I think this is one of my favourite panels... They marry anyway – two feet apart - but of course they can’t kiss. So they kiss scraps of paper and blow them to each other – the snowy skies are filled with hundreds and hundreds of paper kisses, swept away on the winds...
