Episode 1 - Instagram Comics vs. The Big Red Button, with Alex Graham & Cedar Van Tassel

In recent years, Instagram has emerged as a crucial platform for indie cartoonists to find their voices and build audiences. At the same time, Instagram is horrible and we all hate it.

In this inaugural episode, we dive deep into the world of Instagram comics with two of the most engaging voices in the indie comics community: Alex Graham and Cedar Van Tassel. Alex's "Dog Biscuits" and Cedar's "Appleguy" are shining examples of how complex, intelligent, and highly entertaining stories can thrive within Instagram's rigid confines and sometimes-toxic ecosystem.

Join us as we explore:

• The journey of bringing their work to Instagram!
• What is great and horrible about using the platform!
• Dreams toward a post-Instagram comics future!
• And much more!

Special thanks to the amazing Jason Butler for producing this episode!
