Joining us on the podcast this week are three of the top syndicated single panel cartoonists,  Mark Parisi (off the mark), Wayno (Bizarro) and Dave Blazek (Loose Parts). We have a great discussion with them about cartooning, the creative process, cartoon themes and what animals are funny. 

Mark and Dave each have a new book out. 
Mark's book, "The Truth About 5th Grade", was written with Kim Tomsic and is a very funny young readers book. You can order it here:
https://www.amazon.com/Truth-About-5th-Grade/dp/0063038714

Dave's book, "amusing thingies", is a compilation of his funniest cartoons from the last two years (in color) and if you order it from his website, he will sign and doodle in it!
