Finding a great collaborator is the key to success says Caitlin Major creator of 'Manfried The Man' in conversation with True North Country Comics Podcast
Writer Caitlin Major and artist Kelly Bastow are the duo behind Manfried Saves The Day, a graphic novel published through Quirk Books. “Come visit a world where human felines keep cute little humans as pampered pets…and the most spoiled of them all is irascible Manfried the Man. Can a pet man who spends most of his time eating and sleeping take first prize at the Manflower Man Show? If not, the local shelter for stray men will be forced to shut down forever!” Caitlin Major is a writer based in Toronto. Her web comics include Home Sick, Peach Plum Pear, Yer a Witch Milly, and The Spirit and the Spider. Caitlin’s full-time job is as an animation compositor for Skyship Entertainment. Why is her work so critical to the animation process? Kelly Bastow is an artist also based in Toronto whose work includes The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy, Lumberjanes, and Adventure Time and Capture Creatures. Both were housemates. What does Caitlin think of Kelly as a housemate, and vise versa? We’re talking cats too! What do they think is the best cat toy and how can one make a cat happy? What gift did Caitlin’s cat bring into her house? All this and lots more fun in the Kicking Back With The Creator Segment.

We're so very glad to welcome the creative team behind the new Quirk Books graphic novel Manfried the Man to the show this week, Caitlin Major and Kelly Bastow! We talk with them about the numerous funny choices in the book, taking inspiration from Garfield, building a world of humanoid cats, why the webcomic version of the comic had to be finished so quickly, chicken sandwiches, and much more! Plus, Matt and Chris answer another definitional listener question!
Sometimes when an Aussie and a Canadian who has a hardcore love for Aussies get together, magic happens. That's what happened when Caitlin Major immigrated from Australia with her boyfriend for better comic-making opportunity in Canada and met Canadian Kelly Bastow at a Drink & Draw. Kelly is an artist on the rise, having done variant covers for titles like Lumberjanes and Adventure Time and having been nominated twice for an Ignatz Award (honouring small press comic creators) including for her graphic memoir Year Long Summer. Caitlin is no slouch either, already having two published graphic novels under her belt, including Space Pyrates with partner Matthew Hoddy and Seeds of Svalbard with Alisha Jade. But the alchemy of these ladies coming together is something special. Written by Caitlin with Kelly on art, Manfried the Man (Penguin Random House Canada, Quirk Books) takes place in an alternate universe where cats who behave like humans own men who behave like cats.Amidst the talk of the near-parallel genesis of this latest project and Kelly and Caitlin's friendship, Aaron overshares his his love for his own cat and the lengths certain relatives of his will go to have one. We also learn about the comic scene in Australia and stay tuned until the end for an exclusive Caitlin Major- themed freestyle featuring MC Lil' Spitta! This podcast is sponsored by Hairy Tarantula.
