Comic Lab

Tell us your First Time Story (printing books, that is)


Listen Later

This episode of ComicLab is sponsored by Wacom! In this week's show, a listener asks if they guys carry around sketchbooks in their everyday lives. Also, the guys talk about their First Time experiences— with offset print runs, that is. Then, a question asker asks how they built a sustainable comics career without becoming burnt out. Next, what pitfalls do Dave and Brad see in the next five-to-ten years?

BUT FIRST... Valium has turned Dave's dog into a member of Dr. Teeth's Electric Mayhem
