This week Matt Madden and I dig into the artform of comics, the value of permission, if the French deserve all the accolades, teaching the craft at my alma mater, and the power of constraints. This one runs deep and wide.

The audio in gets a little harsh on this one. Apologies, I’ve since resolved the issue.
