Sometimes art doesn't whisper, it looks you dead in the eye and says, "Yeah… same."

That's exactly what graphic artist and curator Joseph Karg delivers with his upcoming Kickstarter project I Feel Doomed. In this episode of Comic Crusaders, Joe and host Al Mega chop it up about embracing uncertainty, using humor as armor, and turning raw emotion into something tangible, beautiful, and painfully relatable. This isn't just a project it's a shared feeling, curated with intention and fearless creativity. If you believe indie art should make you feel something, this conversation and this Kickstarter deserves your attention.
