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.    Please take a moment to rate Creator Talks on iTunes   More about Caitlin Major   Caitlin’s Podcast: Shitty Wizard   More about Manfried Save The Day   More about this episode’s sponsor The Comic Book Shop!

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.

Classic Batman origin re-telling by Len Wein and Jim Aparo, a rundown of recent reads from DC, Valiant, Boom, and Kelly Bastow, and how Paul learns to talk about comics art! Images are at http://wp.me/p42KN3-Gxn starting 9am EST on 10/3/2017 On this week's Comics Syllabus podcast, an ultra-long-solo-droning of Paul talking comics! First, in a General Ed segment change-up, we start with the "Discussion Section," (at 4:54 ) where Paul tackles listener Mike McQuillian's question of how he learns to talk about comics art! He makes reference to a Multiversity piece by Mike Romeo: http://www.multiversitycomics.com/longform/a-guide-to-discussing-comic-art/ as well as to various sources where this amateur critic has learned to be a fraction less amateurish in discussing art in comics. Then, (at 28:55 ) in a new segment called "The Pull Call," Paul runs through comics he's read recently and discusses how the visual work in each contributes to their thematic and narrative potency. He tackles the following titles with reference to some of their visuals: "Aquaman" #28 (DC, preview pages at http://graphicpolicy.com/2017/09/21/preview-aquaman-28/#jp-carousel-393043 ) "Year Long Summer" (Ignatz-nominated creator Kelly Bastow sells at https://www.etsy.com/listing/480148749/year-long-summer?ref=shop_home_feat_1) "Secret Weapons" #4 (Valiant, preview pages at http://www.multiversitycomics.com/previews/secret-weapons-4/ ) "HiFi Fight Club" #2 (Boom! Studios, preview pages at http://graphicpolicy.com/2017/09/23/preview-hi-fi-fight-club-2-4/#jp-carousel-393604 ) (At 1:02:52 ) For the Close Read, Paul takes us into "The Untold Legend of the Batman," a 1980 3-issue mini-series written by Len Wein with art by Jim Aparo and John Byrne, colored by Glynis Wein, and lettered by John Costanza. Part-nostalgia trip, part-dialogue with listener Johnny, part-examination of Batman's psychology, Paul walks through this re-telling of Batman's origin story by a legendary creative team at the height of their powers. Images from that discussion are at the show page at http://wp.me/p42KN3-Gxn (Note: Apologies that we recorded and prepared this episode before tragic and grievous violence in Las Vegas, so it goes unmentioned. Our deepest condolences to victims, family, and friends.)
