Gutter Boys

Episode 99 - Crying on the Internet with Kevin Budnik

Wow! Gutter Gang, we're almost at the coveted 100th episode. Time sure does seem to fly when you're miserable. But before we pop open the champagne, we should first talk about this week's guest: Chicago-based cartoonist and illustrator Kevin Budnik. Renowned for his autobio series I Hope This Finds You and It's OK To Be Sad, Kevin is also a solid friend in the scene and it's embarrassing it took this long to have him finally on the show. We dive into how and why he went from posting diary comics every day to transitioning to Patreon to share his work, his time at Columbia College, his upcoming book and how it will be vastly different from his prior output, and how much the small press world has changed since ye old tumblr days.

The boys couldn't get a mainfeed episode wrapped up in time due to time constraints and schedule conflicts, so for this week we present to you a bonus episode from the Patreon Vault featuring past guest and frequent frenemy Ramon Villalobos to review Funny Pages. Lots of varying opinions on this movie, with hotly contentious back-and-forths coupled with touches of homophobia and ableism. Who ends up coming out on top as the superior film enjoyer? Only way to find out is to listen to this very special roundtable discussion.

Episode 93 - Please End It All

Can't believe it's been four years of Gutter Boys. Nothing flashy for this episode: no guests, no wacky reveals - none of that. We figured it only made sense to go classico mode and trade some general comics chitter chatter and how we're all looking forward to 20 more years of live-action superhero content that's definitely not made for developmentally stunted babies. Now go out there and crack some heads and create some earners out there.

Ep 92 - In the Mood for Posts with Erwin Papa

Apple is officially on #PACKWATCH. While the boys are in the intro, Cam is MIA for the interview due to his Mac eating. JB takes over as the de facto host and is joined with LA-based artist Erwin Papa to talk about his career, his comics The Angriest Warrior and his recently crowdfunded anthology book Endangered African Horn Man & Juggy, the learning curve of making comics, and the relevance of social media for artists in 2023. This one runs longer than usual, but it's a great interview and we barely covered everything that we wanted to discuss. Expect Erwin to return on a future Patreon-exclusive bonus episode.
Follow Erwin on IG @erwin.papa and check out the links in his bio to support his work.
