Comic Adventures is a project of Let’s Make Comics, a Chicago-based comics collective, and produced by Andrew Larkin and Melissa Sayen. Our theme song is Adventure Music! by Munchybobo.

This week Melissa sits down with Derick Masen, Vanessa Walilko and Ali Cantarella to talk about the project F*cking Forty.

F*cking Forty is the story of Ed Siemienkowicz's self-proclaimed worst year. Ed passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer. His friends and fellow artists came together to finish Ed's book and remember him.

In this episode, we talk about what this project means to the participants, how it got started, and why Andrew isn't around.
