Great show, and a good source of comic news

I always like discovering new cartoonists, and this show delivers on interviews. One thing I will ask though is a question for Dave: is the podcast you recorded with the Comics Curmudgeon available to listen to anywhere? I originally found out about Sheldon through him and have bought several books so I’m interested in hearing that interview and maybe you could have him on again because he still runs the blog.

Infectious (in good way)

Very fun and inspiring show! I am 50, but wondering if Dave and Brad would consider adopting me.

Feet first! Eggs in basket! Draw!

As a cartoonist myself I have learned to seek the love others have for cartooning and comics that goes beyond the norm. The people that have dived in feet first to the dark chasm not knowing what’s lies at the bottom. The people that put all of their eggs in one basket and then jammed in some more despite the cracks. Those are my people. Brad and Dave are those people.

Thanks for a fun and insightful podcast Brad and Dave!
