Episode 133 - For the Fellas with Nate McDonough

Yeah we're a week late. We know. And we're sorry! Past Guysner winner Nate McDonough joins JB to talk about LONGBOXES, his recently self-published autobiographical book collecting all of his ongoing Longboxes stories originally published in his comic zine Grixly. We get into his lurid career as a comics flipper, the stories and characters of an unforgiving world that inform his comics, and the overlooked taxonomy of ponytail guys.

Episode 132 - Since Time Immemorial with Avi of Silver Sprocket

Cam is back?! And at what cost???? The boys announce a change to the pod, with Cam taking a break from the mainfeed until the end of the year. News and recents are also discussed, because we felt like it. Avi, owner of Silver Sprocket, returns to talk about their current fundraising campaign, as well as going in-depth about the current state of publishing, how it's effecting small press and Silver Sprocket, the shift in San Francisco's economic turmoil, and how the publisher is continuing to grow and adapt.

Episode 131 - The Mormon Mash with Steve Thueson

GOOD EVENING GUTTER GHOULS. So we're late. What's new? Cam is still on a break, but JB isn't alone left to ponder on what bumps in the night. Instead, he's visited by the spooky specter of Philly-based cartoonist Steve Thueson to welcome the first week of what is sure to be a monstrous month of October. Steve shares his process of making his newest book The Night Never Ends (Silver Sprocket Press), how he got into comics thru punk zines, his favorite horror movies, how his upbringing in the Mormon Church has effected his outlook on the world, and his transition into a stay-at-home wife guy.

The wrongs have been righted. A brand new episode on our off-week to make up for our mix-up from the last episode has arrived. We're closing out our three-part series as part of Chicago Zine Fest's official programming with Chicago-based cartoonist and CXC Emerging New Talent Award winner Kelly Wang to talk about her love for all things comics, her upbringing around manga a a child, her insane work ethic, why she sticks to working with ink on paper, and the lessons she's learned after graduating from SAIC to become a full-time cartoonist.

Episode 129 - Getting MAD with Johnny Sampson

Man we're all over the place on this one. What was meant to be the final episode of our three-part series as part of Chicago Zine Fest's official online programming, ended up being egg on our face. Cam interviews Chicago(ish)-based cartoonist Johnny Sampson who is in fact NOT tabling (oops). Thankfully we've been meaning to talk with Johnny anyway, so we make due with our mistake. And don't sweat, we'll be posting the final CZF interview next week to make up for it. In the meantime, enjoy Cam's talk with Johnny as they discuss his career, how he got started at MAD Magazine, his path from fine art to illustration to eventually making comics, and why skateboarding is sick. 
You can follow Johnny on Instagram @johnnysampson or check out his work on his website.

Episode 124 - Now That’s a Bonghit with Nick Bunch

Another week, another late episode of Gutter Boys. This week, we speak with Philly-based cartoonist Nick Bunch at the behest of friend-of-the-pod Caroline Cash. Nick runs the small press Reptile House, contributes to the anthologies series of the same name, and has an ongoing book called DESERT RATS (with the newest issue out now).
