If we were white and British, we would make everyone black for the Queen's Empire. But we're not, so instead we're going to talk about comics. On this episode, we speak with NYC-based cartoonist and educator G. Davis Cathcart to talk about the reprint of his book 1-800-Ghosts available now at Fantagraphics. We also speak on art education in the US, his background in pedagogy, what sparked his interest in this thing of ours, and why his parents bullied him as a child.
Check out his work via his website at georgedaviscathcart.gallery and follow him on Instagram @gdaviscathcart.

Oh baby we're back and the boys are... kinda bummed. RIP Tony Sirico, James Caan, & Duchess. Thankfully, we have Derek Marks on the show to help us deal with our dreary summer blues. Derek is a Michigan-based cartoonist whose self-published works include Legendary Spirits and his ongoing comic Fabulous Topless Woman. We talk about his background, how he manages his time while still having a career outside of comics, his influences and inspirations, the many high and lows of tabling at comic shows, and what he's cooking up next.

It's hot asoutside and the future is looking pretty grim. But hey, at least we have comics. Speaking of which, we're joined with South Dakota-based cartoonist Marc Wagner to talk about his new book Meddle out now on Strangers Publishing. The boys get into it about his past work, how he got into comics, and his process. As usual, we answer listener questions and hint at some changes being made to our annual Pimps & Simps Awards. Oh, also Cam says a few slurs but he had them edited out due to the PC POLICE, which have gone too far if you ask us!! 1984, ever heard of it????!

When the 2021 Guysner Award winner Nate McDonough asked us to have Providence-based cartoonist and illustrator Ryan Alves on an episode, we knew this was a big favor. Would we set a dangerous precedent by allowing someone to dictate who comes on? Would Ryan Alves meet the high watermark set by past guests? The answer to both questions is yes. If you're a Guysner winner, you get more leeway. And besides, Ryan is great and he would've been on the show anyway. To Nate's credit, he did expedite the process. Again, Guysner. After a few scheduling conflicts, we finally sat down with Ryan to talk about his rapidly growing body of work including Bubblegum Maelstrom and Moustache, why he got into comics, his experience at the Winter Hocking Hills Cartoonist Retreat, and who has the biggest hog in Batman's rogues gallery (it's Bane).
Check out his work at on his website and follow him on Instagram @alvestagram and Twitter @AWE_comics.
