Dumb Comic Creators Podcast

One of our more interesting guests, Alice! Alice the Pigeon Lady...to be exact, joins us to talk about her upcoming book about her pigeon people. Alice started the project right before the pandemic and watched it change and morph and turn into quite an interesting graphic novel. We were happy that Alice could share some details about her book and world and look forward to seeing it completed in November!

Steve Mardo and Shawn French join us to talk about their comic "Epic Tavern: Tales from the Fantastical Crimes Unit". We had a blast talking to these comic veterans and can't wait to see the finished comic out soon! This comic is unique (from our experience) in that it is set in the same world as a video game called "Epic Tavern"

Don't call it a BONUS EPISODE...but it is sort of that. This episode was recorded right before we took a break...in fact, there's a moment in this episode that Michael warns Keegan that he will be a zombie for 6 months, and that is exactly what happened and why we took a break. So...we never had time to upload this FANTASTIC interview with comic book creator Michael Penick (@penickart) but the time is now!

Michael Penick has just completed a successful Kickstarter for his comic "Recovery Incorporated" and is currently working on issue 2. We really enjoyed talking to Michael about his process and comics and we know you'll enjoy this episode. Also sorry for the weird references to humor and things that were happening in February.
