Dave Cook joins me to talk about writing for comics and video games. For which he politely educates me about the difference between run & guns and side scrollers. We also talk about the challenges of gracefully transitioning relationships with industry friends into work. Dave and I talk about his video game history books like GO STRAIGHT from Bitmap Books, and his comics VESSELS, BUST, and BPM. Of course we dig into the writing and reasoning behind his breakout series, KILLTOPIA.

Dave has a lot of pots on the stove for 2023, so listen to the end for all he has lined up.
