‹ August To Do List ComicLab Ep 33 — Comic-Con International ›

ComicLab Ep. 32 — You’re Not Talented. And That’s Good News.

Webcomics wizards Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar are talkin’ shop! Some fan mail revives the topic of the “punch word” in writing humor. THEN, Brad has some bad news for you. You’re not talented. And, actually, that’s good news. NEXT, a listener asks what we listen to while we work. AND FINALLY, Dave and Brad talk about the people who most inspire their work today (as opposed to childhood heroes).

BUT FIRST… Dave gets called for jury duty on the same week as Comic Con International, and he had to scramble to get out of it.
