Following up on our previous convo with Bridge City Comics, this here's a talk with Adam & Andy from Cosmic Monkey Comics, split into two parts for easier consumption and because I can't edit audio as fast as I'd like. Warning that the recording quality in this one is a bit twitchy since I'm such an awesome audio engineer. We talk about everything from starting your own shop to Todd McFarlane stories to when Bob Mould wrote pro-wrestling for WCW. --- Also, I completely blow my references early in the ep by confusing Ilan Mitchell-Smith(from Weird Science) with Robert Carradine (from Revenge of the Nerds). We profoundly regret the error. Part 2 coming next week! ---- Notes: --- http://www.cosmicmonkeycomics.com --- 5335 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR 97213 --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndK2ej-qbws -- An awkward interview with Bob Mould by the Prima-Donns on Minneapolis Cable Access in 1999 -- We're on Facebook now!
