Man we're all over the place on this one. What was meant to be the final episode of our three-part series as part of Chicago Zine Fest's official online programming, ended up being egg on our face. Cam interviews Chicago(ish)-based cartoonist Johnny Sampson who is in fact NOT tabling (oops). Thankfully we've been meaning to talk with Johnny anyway, so we make due with our mistake. And don't sweat, we'll be posting the final CZF interview next week to make up for it. In the meantime, enjoy Cam's talk with Johnny as they discuss his career, how he got started at MAD Magazine, his path from fine art to illustration to eventually making comics, and why skateboarding is sick.  You can follow Johnny on Instagram @johnnysampson or check out his work on his website.

HO HO HO YOU LITTLE GUTTER GANG PAIN PIGS! The holidays are in full swing and the year is quickly coming to close, which can mean only one thing: it is time for our annual Pimps & Simps Awards. This is our fourth year of our little award show, recognizing the winners and losers of small press comics and presenting it in a digestible format for you, the listener, to enjoy as you avoid making eye contact with your aunt as she tries to explain why CHINA is trying to make you trans for Obama. We're joined with past guest Evan Salazar to discuss the best and worst players in comics and why we believe they should be recognized for their achievements and/or failures by presenting them with a series of completely made-up awards with zero cash value. Whose names are inducted in the halls of fame and shame alike for 2023? You'll have to tune in to find out. PS This one is nearly 2 hours long to make up for our absence from the week prior. You're welcome ;) We also wanna thank our newest sponsor, MAGIC MIND. Magic Mind is an energy and performance-boosting matcha drink packed with adaptogens, nootropics, and vitamins.

As some of you may know, Cam has been dealing with several different personal issues over the last few months, so he's taking a break from the show until further notice. I expect him to return relatively soon, so don't fret. In the meantime, I'm going to do my best to keep the shit-talking flame alight. Last weekend was the much anticipated return of CAKE, or Chicago Alternative Comix Expo, after a three-year hiatus. And after tabling the entire weekend and seeing so many new and familiar faces, I think it's safe to say that we're fucking back. Joining me in the post-CAKE celebration is Avi, the San Francisco-based owner and operator of Silver Sprocket Press to talk about his time at the show, as well as getting deep into his and Silver Sprocket's lore. From his humble beginnings as a boy genius, to managing bands and selling records for his DIY music label, Avi has done it all. And what's left to conquer? Comics of course. We talk about the development and evolution of Silver Sprocket, how he pivoted from selling music to selling funny books, and what's on the horizon for the plucky self-starter and his uniquely ambitious small press publisher. Check out the Silver Sprocket webstore to purchase their fine publiations and follow them on Instagram @silversprocket and on Twitter @ssbcpunk. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

Many people are saying that with the 100th episode in the can, it's all downhill from here. But worry not listener, for the boys are still doing this show for some reason. And what better way to kick off the next chapter in the Gutter Gang lore than with this week's guest, Minneapolis-based cartoonist, publisher, educator, and musician Zak Sally. We talk about his new book, Sammy the Mouse Book 3 (Killgore Books/La Mano 21), having returned from a nearly decade-long hiatus. We also discuss his return, why he needed to take a step back from small press comics, his time as an educator, and his overall thoughts on what comics means to him after nearly 30+ years in the game. You can check out La Mano 21's webshop where you can purchase their fine publications and follow Zak on Instagram @zak_sally. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

It's all come down to this. The 100th episode of Gutter Boys. It's going to be emotional. This one is packed to the gills with what the kids are calling content. To help us celebrate, we're joined with special returning guest Pat Rooks to reflect on the last four years of this thing of ours, his tabling experiences so far in 2023, and how his work has progressed since the last time he was in the hot seat. We also have a ton of voicemails left by friends, fans, and past guests to usher in our landmark episode. Be sure to listen carefully as you may recognize a voice or three. Or ten. What about twenty?

Wow! Gutter Gang, we're almost at the coveted 100th episode. Time sure does seem to fly when you're miserable. But before we pop open the champagne, we should first talk about this week's guest: Chicago-based cartoonist and illustrator Kevin Budnik. Renowned for his autobio series I Hope This Finds You and It's OK To Be Sad, Kevin is also a solid friend in the scene and it's embarrassing it took this long to have him finally on the show. We dive into how and why he went from posting diary comics every day to transitioning to Patreon to share his work, his time at Columbia College, his upcoming book and how it will be vastly different from his prior output, and how much the small press world has changed since ye old tumblr days.
