Episode 144 - Upstated with Stephen Pellnat

We're finally back on a normal schedule with an ON TIME EPISODE. Joining us is Stephen Pellnat, Portland-based cartoonist and educator, to talk about his ongoing comic series Upstate. The boys also talk about his work as a teacher, his frustration as a cartoonist while juggling several high-stress jobs, the current state of publishing, and how the influence of anime and manga could give readers a window into what's to come in the next decade following the YA explosion.
