Webcomics veterans Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar talk about making comics! A discussion about using an exclamation point in a sound effect leads to a deep dive into the psychology of lettering! THEN, Brad thinks we need to encourage more collaboration. And FINALLY, Dave asks how to overcome a writing challenge — when you know the overall story, but you just can’t write the next step!

BUT FIRST: After a former co-worked found a Disney animation desk at a garage sale, Dave finds himself obsessed with finding one of his own.
