Really solid and honest advice for making comics! Benji and Michael don’t give a “right” way to make comics but instead give practical advice that you can apply to your own method of cartooning. Their answers are presented in a really casual and fun way that makes the podcast genuinely enjoyable to listen to. I put this on when I draw and only wish there were more episodes! If I actually knew anyone else that was also interested in making comics, I’d definitely recommend this podcast to them.
Started listening to all the comic podcasts I can find since I started making them this year and love this one. Michael and Benji are great
