    I learn more about comics just by listening to these guys. They may sound like jokers but their analysis is surprisingly deep.

  • The best podcast

    I love everything about this podcast!!! It's funny, informative, emotional. Nat and Yan dive deep into each comic's style, writing, page layout, history, etc. Their conversations are the kinds of conversations I wish I was having with my friends at our local coffee shop. I have always been jazzed about comics, but their thoughtful insights get me even more pumped about this medium. I want everyone to listen to this pod (comic sans folks too!).
