On this episode of Gutter Boys, we're joined by comic creator and cartoonist Anya Davidson. Based out of Chicago, she's been published by the who's who of small press publishers and has three fantastic books under her belt (Spirit Prison, Band for Life, and Lovers in the Garden). We briefly go over developing news in comics about you-know-what., and answer listener questions delving into her process, her thoughts on the medium, and her experiences teaching at School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In the back half, Anya shares her perspective on what it means to be a cartoonist, her development as a writer and artist, and the reality of impostor syndrome among cartoonists. We also talk music preferences and what we've all been listening to when we do our thing at the drawing desk.

Gutter Nation, we are back for another banger for your kind, precious ears! On this episode, we're joined by long time friend and one of the hardest working people we know in comics today, MS Harkness. She's the creator of Tinderella and and her new book, Desperate Pleasures (which would be out relatively soon if not for our current pandemic). We take listener questions and go over the latest news impacting creators and readers alike as we continue to self-isolate like responsible adults. In the second half, we talk shop about her process, her opinions about auto bio as a subgenre in comics, her development of her career as a comic creator, and what artists can do if they want to become a successful cartoonist in the modern world.

MS Harkness can be found on Twitter @msharkness and Instagram @m.s.harkness.

On this episode we're joined once again by Dave Baker. We take a closer look at his work, his inspirations, and his perspective on comics as a medium and industry. Don't worry, it's a pretty conversational chat between friends, so it wont be nearly as dry as we just made it out to be.

Dave Baker can be found on Instagram and Twitter @xdavebkerx or you can visit his website at heydavebaker.com.

Send us your questions to [email protected] or DM us on Twitter (@gutterboyspod, @mortcrimpjr, & @camdelrosario) or Instagram (@mortcrimpjr & @camdelrosario). And as always, thanks for listening.

Wow what a month, huh? Things are getting WILD. But don't fret, Gutter Gang, because we are bringing you some more free content to enjoy in these dire times. On this episode, we answer listener questions (they're mostly serious this time), discuss some news in the comics world, and review last month's C2E2 in Chicago, which may very well b the last comic con for the foreseeable future due to the current pandemic. In the second half, we're joined Nicole Goux (@ngoux on IG, @NicoleGoux on Twitter) and Dave Baker (@xdavebakerx on IG & Twitter) where we discuss their output, comics contracts, and the history of a broken industry. While the interview is somewhat brief, we'll have them back on in the very near future individually.

Happy one year anniversary Gutter Gang! It definitely snuck up on us. Doesn't feel like it's been a year, and yet here we are. On this episode, we're joined by comic artist and wrtier Matthew Allison, creator of Slobber Knocker, Calamity of Challenge, and Cankor. We talk shop about tabling at comic conventions, the multitude of inane anxieties that plague artists, and his upcoming book that will collect all his previously self-published issues of Cankor plus brand new content. It's currently available for pre-order (Diamond Order Code: JAN20 1430) and is set to be released in March 2020.

After a month-long sabbatical, the Gutter Boys are back, and just in time give our first annual year-end review! We discuss the last shows of the year, our favorite comics from 2019, and what's possibly in store going into 2020. And of course, to all our listeners, happy holidays and have a great new year!
