We also speak on art education in the US, his background in pedagogy, what sparked his interest in this thing of ours, and why his parents bullied him as a child.  Check out his work via his website at georgedaviscathcart.gallery and follow him on Instagram @gdaviscathcart.

Oh baby we're back and the boys are... kinda bummed. RIP Tony Sirico, James Caan, & Duchess. Thankfully, we have Derek Marks on the show to help us deal with our dreary summer blues. Derek is a Michigan-based cartoonist whose self-published works include Legendary Spirits and his ongoing comic Fabulous Topless Woman. We talk about his background, how he manages his time while still having a career outside of comics, his influences and inspirations, the many high and lows of tabling at comic shows, and what he's cooking up next.  Check out more of Derek's work on his website at derekmarks.net and follow him on Instagram and Twitter @derekgmarks.

It's hot as fuck outside and the future is looking pretty grim. But hey, at least we have comics. Speaking of which, we're joined with South Dakota-based cartoonist Marc Wagner to talk about his new book Meddle out now on Strangers Publishing. The boys get into it about his past work, how he got into comics, and his process. As usual, we answer listener questions and hint at some changes being made to our annual Pimps & Simps Awards. Oh, also Cam says a few slurs but he had them edited out due to the PC POLICE, which have gone too far if you ask us!! 1984, ever heard of it????!

Light up a fatty for these pimp daddies and say PIMPIN' AIN'T THAT HARD THO. We're joined with Brooklyn-based cartoonist/illustrator Brian Blomerth, creator of such fine books like Bicylcle Day and Mycellium Wassonii by Anthology. Shit gets real. If you want to know the closely held secrets of making it big in small press or as a freelance artist, then wait for another episode because this ain't it. But for real, this interview is a blast and we had a groovy time with Brian discussing his development as an artist, his sources of inspiration, and how he ended up being one of the biggest names in alternative comics.  Check out more of his work via his website or follow him on Instagram @pupsintrouble.

When the 2021 Guysner Award winner Nate McDonough asked us to have Providence-based cartoonist and illustrator Ryan Alves on an episode, we knew this was a big favor. Would we set a dangerous precedent by allowing someone to dictate who comes on? Would Ryan Alves meet the high watermark set by past guests? The answer to both questions is yes. If you're a Guysner winner, you get more leeway. And besides, Ryan is great and he would've been on the show anyway. To Nate's credit, he did expedite the process. Again, Guysner. After a few scheduling conflicts, we finally sat down with Ryan to talk about his rapidly growing body of work including Bubblegum Maelstrom and Moustache, why he got into comics, his experience at the Winter Hocking Hills Cartoonist Retreat, and who has the biggest hog in Batman's rogues gallery (it's Bane).  Check out his work at on his website and follow him on Instagram @alvestagram and Twitter @AWE_comics.

Spring is in the air and da boys are ready to prance through the tulips in celebration of this thing of ours we call comics. Our guest for this episode is Brooklyn-based artist Austin English who's been running the small press publisher Domino Books for over a decade providing readers with print offerins well off the beaten path. We discuss his newest book, Meskin and Umezo, as well as his process and approach to the media, his publishing journey that led him to become one of the top names in the world of small press comics, and his general thoughts on the business. This one might be our longest single episode so far, but we think you'll wanna stick around for the whole thing.

Even though we said we wouldn't have repeat guests on the main feed, it's only fair to have 2021's Pimp of the Year Jasper Jubenvill come on for a second time to really hash it out for the listeners. We go in-depth about process, his influences, his current love affair with Elden Ring, and why Cam loves WWE2K22 so much. EDITOR'S NOTE: We erroneously referred to Nate McDonough as a Pimp of the Year when in fact he was only the recipient of the Dudes Rock Award. JB will receive 20 lashings from Nate for his transgression and we hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive us. Follow Jasper on Instagram @jasper.jubenvill. He does not have a website yet, so be sure to judge him harshly for that.  Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
