Creating a comic is a lot of blood, sweat and tears, and this week marks a few shows focusing on those that are doing everything on their own. The sole creators who are making art they want to put out into the world all on their own. Joined by Richard McCrae (from the webcomic Silverback) the gang talk about motivations, enthusiasm, hints, tips and take an introspective look into their own work that every creator should do. Its a fun, fascinating chat about the creative process, and on top of that there's more great comic recommendations and lots of laughs!
