Something I neglected to mention in [my 'Signs of the Summer' post](https://bl.ag/signs-of-the-summer-postcards-from-a-busmans-holiday/) was the screening of [*Married to Comics*](https://www.johnkinhart.com/mtcpresskit.html?ref=bl.ag) that I attended/organised at the Rio Cinema in Dalston, London. The good news for those that have been unable to catch it on the big screen is that it's [now streaming](https://linktr.ee/marriedtocomics?ref=bl.ag).

[The film](https://www.johnkinhart.com/mtcpresskit.html?ref=bl.ag) is a feature-length documentary about the life and work of two pioneers in the genre of autobiographic comics: [Justin Green](https://justingreencartoonart.blogspot.com/?ref=bl.ag) (RIP) and [Carol Tyler](https://www.instagram.com/caroltylercomix/?ref=bl.ag). (You may recall Justin from [his *Sign Game* strips](https://bl.ag/justin-green-the-sign-game/) and/or the [*Sign Painters*](https://bl.ag/reflections-on-the-impact-of-sign-painters-ten-years-later/) film.) As the title suggests, they were married to each other, with their relationship and individual perspectives on it creating much of the film's intrigue.

Contributors to the film include luminaries such as Robert Crumb and Art Spiegelman, who discuss the profound influence that Green and Tyler's comics had on them. And, for sign painting folk, there's a lovely segment with Green discussing [his *Sign Game* series](https://bl.ag/justin-green-the-sign-game/) for *Signs of the Times* magazine, which he describes as some of his favourite work.

I recommend setting aside a couple of hours this weekend to [take a trip into Green and Tyler's minds](https://linktr.ee/marriedtocomics?ref=bl.ag), and to learn about the remarkable lives and work that emerged from them.

[**Married to Comics*](https://www.johnkinhart.com/mtcpresskit.html?ref=bl.ag) is [available via different streaming services](https://linktr.ee/marriedtocomics?ref=bl.ag). If you are outside the USA then you may need to install [a VPN](https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn?ref=bl.ag) to access it. (Independent productions like this always benefit from ratings and reviews—yes, for the algorithm!—so be sure to leave one if you do watch it.) Thank you to [John Kinhart](https://www.johnkinhart.com/?ref=bl.ag) and [Carol Tyler](https://www.instagram.com/caroltylercomix/?ref=bl.ag) for all of the work that has gone into the film, and for now making it available online after its time at the festivals.
