Gutter Boys

An episode of month may not be ideal, but it is what it is. The boys return with a late episode with NYC-based cartoonists/educators/podcasters Nick Forker and Michael Shea-Wright. We talk about their ongoing YouTube video series and podcast, Comics People, as well as their time in the city as they navigated the art world in the early oughts, how their work has developed over the years, how they met, and what made them decide to make a video series together about comics.  Follow them on Instagram @comics.people and @nicholasforker for more info.

The boys return with guest Derek M. Ballard to talk about his upcoming self-published book, Good Lord! He Done Up and Quit!? that he was able to successfully overfund on Kickstarter. Since JB and Derek share their background with the great state of Florida, and in particular the GATOR NATION of Gainesville, they talk about the ups and downs of the state, what it means to be a Floridian, and why Florida is a cesspool that should be annexed from the US. They also talk about his comics, his work in animation, and what it means to be a single father in a country that actively hates poor people. Follow Nick on Instagram @fudgy1nick. Questions?

Another late episode, and right before the month is over so technically it isn't late in a way if you think about it. On this episode, the boys are joined with Arizona-based cartoonist Nick Cagnetti to talk about his books Pink Lemonade and Spirit of the Shadows, his upcoming Archie run, what comics got him into the medium, and a lot of Spider-Man talk from a self-avowed Spidey superfan.
