  1. It is fantastic to see all these good reviews.
    I am currently working on a coursework for my Master in Translation Studies.
    When I was asked to choose a comic for my translation into Italian I immediately thought of Seeds.
    I have loved the book since I first read it and I am getting so much inspiration from the translation.
    Just want to say thank you.
    All the best

  3. Dear Ross
    Thank you for your answer

    I got a question for you: on page 17 we find the sign "deatric ward" on panel 3.
    I have been trying to understand the meaning of "deatric" for days (it might be the end of the word?) and now I am really intrigued to know the solution!
    Thank you
    M.

  4. It's the end of the word 'pedeatric' (the first part is hidden). I realise this is spelt incorrectly and should be 'pediatric'! It's a children's ward.

  6. This has nothing to do with the actual post, it's just the only way I've found to contact you, to tell you how much I enjoyed reading Seeds, having lost my own father to lung cancer last year, when he was 72, by the way. I recognized a lot, especially the surrealism of the christian funeral...

  7. Thank you for getting in touch. I know how it feels to want to make contact with people who have gone through the same thing, and I'm glad you liked the book.

  9. I had no idea when I created the book that it would connect with people in such a way, but I'm glad it does. Thank you.
