Curious About the Chicago Mothman?

I caught part of a piece on the radio yesterday about the Chicago Mothman. It was from the Curious City podcast which WBEZ airs on Thursday afternoons. I usually only half-pay attention when I hear it because I pretty much only catch it while I'm driving, but they often have interesting backstories and trivia about various aspects of Chicago based on questions from listeners.

My ears perked up with yesterday's installment, though, because the question came from Sarah Becan. I've referenced and reviewed some of her work here before, most recently back in June. Her question was on a topic that I'd heard/seen her express interest in before: the Chicago Mothman.

The piece was originally recorded back in 2019 but since I apparently missed it then and it was just re-run again yesterday, I wanted to share it here. Most of it is not actually comics related in any way, other than the question coming from Becan, but it was a cool reminder how pervasive the comics community is here in Chicago. I hope Becan gets a little more interest in her work because of it, too.
