Tom Motley - 90s Mini Comics Oral History Archives
Enjoy this interview with Tom Motley who treated us to page by page review of an issue of the Fandom House catalog from the early 90s and showing us so many of the things that were available in the catalog. This is a very visual episode, but you'll also hear grat stories, giving us context and a few really interesting cultural threads in there too.
I'm really happy Tom could come on and share with us. Tom is a kind soul and a really interesting creative thinker-- someone who's going to be experimenting and looking for how the medium works, but also celebrating the stranger more marginal ways in which people have made comics, and celebrating the stranger and more marginal creators.
It's great to have him as our guide, through this, walk through 80s and 90s mini-comics. Enjoy.
Thanks for listening!

90’S Mini-comics oral history project
Imagine… waiting two weeks to know if you got a LIKE.
Imagine taking an all nighter, a bunch of stapling and two trip to the copy store and post office in the cold to make a POST. In the decade before the internet, people made comics, and reached out to each other. They shared, they liked and loved. They connected through the mail, and through meet-ups and festivals.
This project aims to collect the stories of ANYONE who made self-published mini-comics in the roughly 10 years before the broad acceptance of the internet (the 90’s, give or take.) These audio/video archives will exist at the University of Florida’s Digital Repository as well as the Sequential Artists Workshop’s Youtube channel and podcast links. In partnership with the University of Florida Samuel Proctor Oral History Project,The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum,and Spit and a Half Distribution. Project Head: Tom Hart, Sequential Artists Workshop Assistant Director: Emma Jensen, Sequential Artists Workshop Consultants: Megan Kelso, Tom Devlin, Matt Madden, Jessica Abel, Caitlin McGurk, Rob Clough https://www.sequentialartistsworkshop...
