Gutter Boys

Spring is in the air and da boys are ready to prance through the tulips in celebration of this thing of ours we call comics. Our guest for this episode is Brooklyn-based artist Austin English who's been running the small press publisher Domino Books for over a decade providing readers with print offerins well off the beaten path. We discuss his newest book, Meskin and Umezo, as well as his process and approach to the media, his publishing journey that led him to become one of the top names in the world of small press comics, and his general thoughts on the business. This one might be our longest single episode so far, but we think you'll wanna stick around for the whole thing. Go to dominobooks.org to check out what Domino Books has to offer and follow Austin on Instagram & Twitter @dominocomics. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

Even though we said we wouldn't have repeat guests on the main feed, it's only fair to have 2021's Pimp of the Year Jasper Jubenvill come on for a second time to really hash it out for the listeners. We go in-depth about process, his influences, his current love affair with Elden Ring, and why Cam loves WWE2K22 so much. EDITOR'S NOTE: We erroneously referred to Nate McDonough as a Pimp of the Year when in fact he was only the recipient of the Dudes Rock Award. JB will receive 20 lashings from Nate for his transgression and we hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive us. Follow Jasper on Instagram @jasper.jubenvill. He does not have a website yet, so be sure to judge him harshly for that. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
