What would you do if you were told you had a dramatically life-shortening illness when you were 32 years old? Start making comic books about it of course! Well, that’s what Gordon did. He is a Scottish comic book artist with a big bushy beard, very expressive eyebrows—oh, and an inoperable, incurable brain tumor. By making autobiographical comics about his experience, he communicates his thoughts and reactions to cancer in a medium and a language that is disarming, accessible and inviting. LONG LIVE MY HAPPY HEAD is an unexpectedly touching and uplifting film about cancer and comic books, but it’s fundamentally a love story between Gordon, his partner Shawn…and comics!
