Show notes: On this 75th episode I sit down to talk to local comics creator Ryan Ladner about his recently released 1st issue of "Memphis VS Zombies". Ryan had a successful Kickstarter campaign for this new Thrill Comics zombie comic series set in the M-town. I caught up with him out at 901 Comics East for his second signing of the weekend. I was able to pick up my Kickstarter rewards in person at the comic shop, and talk toons with him for a bit.

From the Thrill Comics website: "Memphis vs. Zombies is our thrilling flagship comic that blends Memphis charm with undead chaos. Follow Walter, B.B., and a cast of quirky characters as they navigate a zombie apocalypse in the heart of the Bluff City. Packed with humor, action, and heart, MvZ is a fun and fantastical adventure you won’t want to miss!"In this episode's news section I discuss details on such events as our next MSCA dinner, Rogue's Gallery at Centerpoint Toys & Games in Millington, upcoming art shows around town, Trolls at the Botanic Gardens, local comic cons, submission details for our next "The Good, The Bad, and the Sketchy" zine, and more.

I also wish Joe "\S/tuberman" Stuber happy anniversary for 11 years of his "Comic Book Central" podcast, and the CGS crewa happy 20th anniversary of their show "Comic Geek Speak". They celebrate 20 years of podcasting on March 25th, and will have a free in-person celebration ("dysfunctional geeky family reunion") up in Reading, PA this March 29th (click HERE for details).

Congrats to both shows, and I'm excited to finally make it to 75 episodes of "Drawing Funny"!

“Stay tooned!”
