He and Rachel talk about how Comics can help all of us in better understanding the world. Soper teaches Interdisciplinary Humanities and American Studies at BYU. His research is often focused on comic strips, satire, and popular film. He is presently working on a book about Gary Larson, creator of the comic strip, The Far Side.
