My Nerdarchy Interview

I was pleased to have the opportunity to talk with Ryan Friant of Nerdarchy a few weeks ago. We talked about my history in comics and the future of webcomics in general. There’s a lot of great discussion there.

Here’s a breakdown of what we discussed:

0:30 — Introduction

2:00 — When D&D was satanic

3:19 — Berke Breathed (Bloom County) was my main inspiration

4:17 — The Print vs Web debate is over

5:39 — The young Turks of webcomics have become the “Get off My Lawn” old folks… and some of us are very afraid.

8:20 — The Webcomics Renaissance. There’s never been a better time to be a cartoonist.

9:30 — You can do amazing things with a small, passionate audience.

10:00 — The biggest kickstart to my career

12:00 — The history of Webcomics Weekly and How To Make Webcomics

16:15 — What mistake would I like to correct / the importance of failure

18:06 — How I came to NSFW comics through Patreon

19:05 — The origin of the skin-tight superhero costume

12:13 — There’s room in comics for everybody… from All-Ages to Adult

22:30 — What’s coming up from the Guigar studio
