Gutter Boys

Autoptic is back with the Gutter Boys, baby! Pete Faecke joins us once again to break down what to expect from the Autoptic 2021 Digital Festival, and we're starting things on a high note with special guest Jaime Hernandez to talk about his new art book, Queen of the Ring - Wrestling Drawings by Jaime Hernandez. To cut to the chase, we skipped out on news and shout outs for this week (don't worry, they'll return on the next main feed episode) to get down and dirty with Jaime about his love of pro wrestling, what made him decide to release his never-before-seen drawings to the public, and his thoughts on the current landscape of comics and cartooning. So don't be a pencil necked geek and miss out on this banger of an episode. Hit that play button, or we're dropping you through a stack of tables!

Jaime doesn't really have any social media, but it's not like his work is hard to find.

Blaaattaaaaaoooowww GUTTER BOYS returns with another bi-weekly dose of shop talk for you sick pain pigs. On this week's episode, we're joined by Belarusian cartoonist Gleb Melnikov who is the current artist on DC's Robin to discuss the toxicity of our city (of our city), his experiences as an international artist that worked his way up from small press to the big leagues, and what the future holds for Big Gleb in a post-DC world. We also touch on some news, a heaping of shout outs to our listeners who sent in their comics, and some hints at what you all can expect in the coming weeks from the boys.

Follow Gleb on Twitter @GlebMelnikov8 for his esoteric insights into the depraved world of Damien stans.
