Comic Lab

Special guest Lex Fajardo, Senior Editor, Charles Schulz Studio


Listen Later

Webcomics wranglers Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar are talking shop with  Lex Fajardo. He's an Eisner Award winner, Senior Editor of Charles Schulz Studios, and the creator of his own comic series Kid Beowulf. When he asks if Patreon is right for him, he gets an earful... and a top-down restructuring of his entire approach (whether he wanted it or not)!

BUT FIRST, Brad refuses to give that lady at SmartCuts his phone number.
