September 17, 2017Ep. 16: Sorry, All Your Bones Are Gay
[CW: Graphic discussion about sexual activites and goopy gory stuff, lots of yelling.]
FULL DISCLOSURE: We recorded this the night before we left for RCCC last week. We just didn’t have time to edit it. Pretend we’re still bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the prospect of going to a convention in a city that is on fire and also full of fascists.
QUESTION AND ANSWER TIME! This week we take questions thrown at us by the readers ranging on a huge range of topics, from favorite panel layouts to slice of life comics to casting your own fist in concrete. Join us for a spell, won’t you?

August 21, 2017Ep. 15: Speechbagel Tailstar
[CW for: explicit language, discussion about sexual content and assault in media, occasional loud noises.]
WE LIVE!!! After our brief “the world went to absolute shit” hiatus, we’ve triumphantly returned! And we just can’t WAIT to yell at you about comics.
STUFF WE MENTION IN THIS EPISODE:
Lettering! We finally get around to talking about it, since people have been asking. What to do, what not to do, what kind of pens do you use, etc etc etc. We basically just dig into this for like forty-five solid minutes.
Strangers in Paradise, The Maxx, Scud the Disposable Assassin, and rereading stuff before recommending it.
Also touched on: subliminal imprinting via Aeon Flux, peeping your peepers peeled, Dream Daddy problems, and whether Sonic takes off his shoes before having sex.
THIS EPISODE’S RECOMMENDATIONS:
Nature of Nature’s Art, by Zachary Braun. Talking animals! Fight sequences! Convoluted philosophy! Some stuff I don’t… entirely… think was a great idea! We dig into this uncompromising postmodern webcomic classic. (Also mentioned in the ep: grey Folie’s sharp NofNA crit, which can be found on their blog here.)
My Brother’s Husband, by Gengoroh Tagame. Cultures collide between a recently divorced Japanese father and his dead brother’s Canadian husband in this heartwarming slice-of-life comic from literally the last person you would expect to be mentioned in the same breath as “heartwarming slice-of-life comic”. Don’t miss it!
Next episode should go up in September 4th! We’re gonna stay on this horse this time, we promise. WE ARE TF’ING INTO CENTAURS, WE’RE STAYING ON THIS HORSE SO HARD.
Music this episode: “It’s Time”, by Cyber Vision. I’m thinking about just making this the standard theme for Season Two? It just sounds so nice.

October 01, 2016 Ep. 14: Off Day
SO. Yesterday was International Podcast Day, and we realized we haven’t put out an episode in like two months, so we decided to cut an episode that night. At 10 pm. Without picking any topics, or doing any research. The result is…. really something. Just a warning, btw: Guttermouthing is always at least somewhat blue, but this episode gets a little ruder than normal, so maybe keep it to headphones in a work environment.
The lettering episode is next! We’re aiming to have it out before October is over, we promise.

June 07, 2016 Ep. 12: LIVE from Reno!
Not a dream! Not an alternate universe! This is a tape of Guttermouthing’s FIRST-EVER LIVE SHOW/PANEL, held at Biggest Little Fur Con at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in beautiful Reno, Nevada earlier in May. TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE: Scripting! Panel layouts! A lot of obsessing over typefaces! Web and print distribution! And of course, being NICE to people. This is a good place to start if you’re new to the show, so feel free to dip in (and try to ignore how nervous we sound)!
Also hey, check out our new website! Pretty swank, huh?

June 07, 2016 Ep. 11: Everything Just Goes In The Manhole
BACK AT IT AGAIN!! Nero and Iris (formerly Ian!) are serving up an episode all about writing and scripting– the part of making comics most people seem to have a much harder time talking about than the drawing part. We also have a monster-size recommended reading section this week.

June 07, 2016 Ep. 9: Pro Tip One, Don’t Break Stuff
BACK AND IT FEELS SO GOOD, BABY! We just returned from Rainfurrest and decided to fill another episode with talking about furry conventions. (Mostly.) (Almost entirely.) In this installment, we go over P’s and Q’s for selling at them, including making travel plans, drawing commissions, selling to customers, and most importantly NOT BREAKING STUFF. Many of these tips can be applied to other convention vendor setups too! And some can’t! Listen on to decide which ones are which!
WE DIDN’T DO A READING LIST THIS WEEK BUT HERE ARE SOME LINKS:
Night Physics, by Austin Holcomb: nightphysics.tumblr.com/

Next week: Zines, anthologies, and small press publishing! Probably won’t have a lot of furries in it if you’re not into that kind of thing. I can’t make any promises, though.

June 07, 2016 Ep. 8: Protect Your Monkey
MIMOSA NIIIIIIIGHT! Mama sippy.
There wasn’t a heck of a lot on our comics radar this fortnight, so we ended up talking about some stuff we’ve wanted to talk about for a while instead! And then we kept talking. And talking. It’s a long one, folks.
TOPICS DISCUSSED:
– Super Turbo Atomic Ninja Rabbit: Is it homage? Is it derivative? Is this one of those things where I’m being way more paranoid about it than I should be?
– The 20-Year Gap, and “fake nostalgia for the unremembered 80’s”. I’m sorry, I couldn’t find “Losing My Edge” in the right file format on my computer, so I didn’t end up using it for the theme this episode. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE??
– SCAD reminiscences, and advice for current or future attendees. (1. Be nice. 2. Know what you want to do, but accept criticism. 3. OH MY GOD HAVE YOUR FINANCES ON LOCK, IT’S SO UNGODLY EXPENSIVE FOR A DIPLOMA THAT MOST PEOPLE ASSUME IS FAKE.)
THIS WEEK’S READING:
– O Human Star, by Blue Delliquanti – ohumanstar.com/
– The Story of Graphic Design, by Patrick Cramsie – www.alibris.com/The-Story-of-Grap…830849?matches=44
THIS WEEK’S THEME: Mr. Oizo, “Gay Dentists”

June 06, 2016 Ep. 7: Cum Or Die, Dude
PUT THE KIDS TO BED! CLOSE THE BLINDS! SNAP ON THOSE BIG-ASS NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES! We get down and dirty with the most sssssensual episode of GUTTERMOUTHING yet. (It’s not actually that erotic. But we do talk about porn comics for like a solid hour!)
SUBJECTS COVERED INCLUDE:
– Porn process. How do you make it? Why do you make it? What drives you?
– A couple words about a couple words, and why we should think about why we use them
– Watch out for gross people!
– A big list of artists whose work we actually think WOULD represent the erotic furry comic scene pretty ok (Chris Goodwin, Mouse Arthur, Art Decade, Austin Holcomb, Moult, Lobst, Ritts… god, I think we mentioned some others in there too)
– Basically: it’s cool to like porn in 2015, but only if you stay REALLY FUCKING AWARE about why you like the stuff you like and how that influences how you act in the real, actual world
