Webcomics Weekly, Episode 77: Skottie Young

Scott and Brad discuss the $2 PDF and digital-download publishing with Eisner Award-winning Skottie Young, whose PDF, The Adventures of Bernard, the World Destroyer, found itself at the center of the $2 PDF movement. Skottie goes into real numbers, discussing the topic from the ground up.
