Art & Story 14 - The Big Ohio

Saturday Supercast, News: November 27th, 2007

Wondering how the first Sugary Serials convention appearance went? Then check out our con report in the forums, and listen to the latest episode of Art & Story. While at the show Mark and I recorded our reactions as the convention came to a close. This week we present those reactions, followed by a retrospective […]

Art & Story 13 - The Big Hipster PDA

Saturday Supercast, News: November 21st, 2007

Instead of tackling a big topic for this week’s Art & Story, Mark and I riff about random ideas that occurred to us over the last week while drawing comics. We wind up discussing the role of confidence in a comics career and using comics pages to create effective pacing.
We also put out a call […]

Art & Story 12 - The Big Wish

Saturday Supercast, News: November 13th, 2007

A real cranky one this week, as Mark and I discuss what we would like to see more of in comics. Like any good discussion, though, a moral comes through at the end where we discover what all of our griping is good for.
Show notes are on the Art & Story Website, and in the […]

Art & Story 11 - The Big Hero

Saturday Supercast, News: November 5th, 2007

In this week’s Art & Story, Mark and I go through a dissection of characters to find out what makes a hero, particularly the kinds of heroes we both write and like to read about. We break out a list of who we think of as heroes and talk about why we feel the way […]

Saturday Supercast 10 - Revivals & Nostalgia

Saturday Supercast, News: November 3rd, 2007

The Supercast returns with a long, long, roundtable discussion. I have a discussion with Shawn Robare of Branded in the 80s and friend HooveR. We talk about the current revivals of various 80’s cartoon properties, which evolves into a discussion of the role of nostalgia in current media.
And yes, tributaries abound. But believe it or […]

Art & Story 10 - The Big Crossover

Saturday Supercast, News: October 29th, 2007

In this week’s episode, Mark and I discuss how other mediums, particularly film and television, have influenced our work. Not a very formatted episode–we even skip The Big Honor and Big Tool segments this week. But we were riding high on hitting the double digits in episode numbers, so I hope you’ll forgive our neglect.
And […]

Art & Story Episode 09 - The Big Process

Saturday Supercast, News: October 23rd, 2007

In this week’s Art & Story, Mark and I detail our respective processes of drawing comics pages starting at writing and leading up to the finished board. Topics such as thumbnailing, lightboxing, and the yellowing of certain marker lines are covered.
Show notes can be found in the forum here.

Saturday Supercast 09 - Matt Putnam-Pouliot

Saturday Supercast, News: October 20th, 2007

In our ninth episode we return to creator interviews, and the interviewee this time is none other than Daring Dodo creator Matt Putnam-Pouliot. We talk about why he prefers escapism over realistic fiction, why he prefers drawing monsters and animals to drawing people, and most of all we talk about his work over at Dial […]

Art & Story Episode 08 - The Big Balloon

Saturday Supercast, News: October 17th, 2007

In this week’s Art & Story, Mark and I broach the topic of representing sound in comics, specifically word balloon and sound effect usage. As usual, we explore the similarities and differences between our styles and techniques, ultimately coming to no solid conclusion. I think we’ll be revisiting a lot of the topics we cover […]

Saturday Supercast Episode 08 - Live After Launch

Saturday Supercast, News: October 13th, 2007

Our first live episode after the launch of the daily updates. We start out with a discussion with Shawn and Carrie Robare about 80s cartoons, movies, and heroes. Suddenly, we’re joined by Kitsy and Kimonostereo, at which point we dive into a discussion about why we make webcomics. Not exactly a structured show, but we […]
