A great way to “meet” and spend time with luminaries of the cartooning world. You will hear career advice, but it’s woven in with humor. And not just for cartoonists, but anyone interested in humor in entertainment will find this interesting.

This podcast is excellent. Bob Eckstein is funny and picks the best guests. I’ve learned so much about cartoonists from this podcast and I enjoy listening to it while I’m working on my own artwork. It seems as though Bob often specifically asks questions that will be helpful and informative to other artists and illustrators. Also, he draws out some pretty zany stories from people. For instance, learning Marisa Acocella literally was bitten by cartooning bugs as a youth while vacationing in a hou... more
Apple Podcasts5PattyA2United States4 years ago - If you’re into gag cartooning, this is the show for you.
Great interviews with some of America’s best gag cartoonists with each show revealing a little bit more behind the curtain of the world of gag cartooning. If you’re a cartoonist trying to break in, or just a fan of the form, don’t go past this one.

I started not caring if people saw me laughing in public. They’d give me a funny look and that made me laugh even more.
I like laughing so much that I ... more
Apple Podcasts5FlotsambayUnited States4 years ago I love the podcast! Funny and informative discussions about the art of humor. They’re not afraid to go where their muse takes them. Going from the rock group Blondie to sadistic nuns within four digressions is an impressive feat! This podcast will put a smile on your face, a bounce in your step and hair on your chest (okay, the hair on your chest part is a bit disconcerting.)
