Explain Yourself : A Crowdfunding Round Table

Will Allred and Kevin Joseph get to spend their Friday evenings talking comics and crowdfunding with some of the best creators in the indie comics community. This week we had a creator up at 3am in England and two Californians popping in just after dinner to talk comics and the WGA SAG/AFTRA strike.

Charlie Stickney on to talk about his comic How I Slept my way through College. The mystery thriller about a journalism student who stumbles on what might be the story of a century. Is one of her College Professors running a high class brothel using her students as the sex workers? The campaign can be found here:

Along with always enjoying Charlie's company, as a member of the WGA, he was able to better explain what the Writers are asking for in their current labor strike. It was helpful to us, and we think will illuminate some of the issues for you too.

Steven Prince joined us as well to talk about the latest chapter of his incredibly fun "matador vs kaiju action romp Monster Matador.

Ed Jowett gets the "worked hardest to be here award by waking up at 3 AM in England to join us. It was fun to meet him and here about his "Batman without a brain" super hero story Lobo.

Kevin sits down with Allen Dunford for a quick talk about Horus in Hell #1. The comedy about a rabbit who was plucked from Hell by a Magician who got his powers in a trade with a demon (From the pages of Pocus Hocus). This fun and quirky goofball of a comic is running for just about a week longer, and is well worth your time to check out.

Explain Yourself is usually a show where Will Allred and Kevin Joseph talk to one or two creators from about four different projects, but this week we sit down with four creators that worked on the Comics from the Kitchen anthology currently funding on Zoop.

Each unique short story (some fictional, some memoiresque non-fiction, some a mix) is five pages long, and ends with a recipe that meant something to the creator's life.
