This time on Pen Pals (The spiciest episode yet!)… -The Pen Pals review books on how to make comics and Michael complains surprising no one. Then in the second half for Benji’s review of You A Bike and a Road they turn it around and call someone a master of the craft?!?! -Benji and Michael talk about the comics class Michael is teaching and how a refresh on the fundamentals might help everyone. -We answer a question on always writing the same character types and talk about why it might be a good idea to just do it! - We answer a question about how we color! And we do a really good job! -We end on a question about how to decide what art to make merch. Maybe? We kind of go all over the place on this one, but the conversation is good!
