The Terrible Anvil: What's The Worst That Can Happen?
The Terrible Anvil Season 2 Episode 07 - "What's the worst that could happen?"
In this episode, we’re asking “What’s the worst that could happen?”
We're talking about the fear of failure and utter collapse of our mental understanding of our own self-esteem. We're talking about large and small audiences, and envisioning the "fiery crash" of those potential failures, finding that a lot of times, they don't actually hurt. But some do, and we talk about avoiding those! Finally we talk about how communities (like SAW) provide readers and support, and that's what art is about!
Thanks for being here!

Recorded at SAW on Zoom
The Terrible Anvil
How do you make comics without all the frustration? Without feeling lousy and inadequate all the time?
With the Terrible Anvil of daily deadlines! And a community, and mindset shift about what it means to make comics and art. Jess Ruliffson and Tom Hart are working through the whole process, one piece at a time, turning frustration into fun and glee.
We hope you’ll join us in the 2026 Graphic Novel Intensive (GNI)! See you there!
