Today is a special treat because I've got Eisner nominated, Ringo winning, and New York Times Bestselling cartoonist Sarah Andersen on the show with me to talk about her new book Adulthood Is A Gift. The new project has over 100 illustrations and 15 personal essays about her work and some of the challenges she's faced along the way. Sarah was kind enough to carve out a little time to catch me up on her ongoing AI court case against Stable Diffusion, and she offers a few suggestions for creators to protect their work online (see below for some image protection software options.) We also got to get into her contribution to the Boom Studios horror anthology Hello Darkness, and she teases a new creative direction for the future. It's always great to get a chance to chat with her. The book is available for preorder now wherever you buy your books.

Pre-order on Amazon or Barnes and Noble

Two options Sarah suggested to protect your images online: Glaze and Nightshade
