This week, Brad and Dave discuss what happens after a cartoonist achieves the dream: making a living from comics. They explain why success can create its own time-management problems, how to protect the thing that's already working, and why adding books, Kickstarter campaigns, merch, newsletters, or conventions should happen gradually. They also talk about practical systems for numbering webcomic pages, naming files, and keeping longform comics organized over time. Main topics covered Weird convention-reader encounters, including disputed signatures and free-sketch requests What to do when your comic and Patreon are working, but there's no time for anything else Protecting the “engine” of your business before adding new projects Avoiding concentration risk when most income comes from one platform Adding new business layers slowly instead of trying to do everything at once Using small projects, like enamel pins, as manageable learning experiences Why side projects can derail your main comic if you're not careful Finding extra time without wrecking your life or mental health Dave's San Diego Comic-Con booth and the free ComicLab enamel pin How to number pages for longform webcomics The difference between website numbering and book-page numbering Using SEO-friendly titles, focus keyphrases, transcripts, and alt text File-naming conventions for comics, including dates, chapters, pages, and vertical-scroll segments Planning ahead for long-running comics so your numbering system doesn't break later You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.

For many leaders, the fear of losing what they've built is more exhausting than building it ever was. In this episode I've got another Behind the Rank story for you. I'm joined by Tanya Sheldon, an elite leader with LifeVantage, to explore what happens when you spend a decade climbing toward freedom, only to find yourself white-knuckling everything you've earned. Tanya joined network marketing to become someone. And for years, that calling was enough to carry her forward. But after hitting one of the top ranks in her company, something quietly shifted. The becoming got pushed aside, and the doing took over. What followed was 10 years of playing not to lose: carrying her team, performing her leadership, and never letting anyone see the cracks, until she got on a stage and told the truth for the first time. What makes Tanya's story so powerful is what happened next. Not just in the moment of that breakthrough, but in what became possible once she finally had language for what she'd been carrying, and the courage to let her calling lead again. This is a story about the cost of the performer mask, the loneliness of fear-led leadership, and what it feels like to finally lead with wings. Listen to Learn: 4:38 - What it felt like for Tanya to finally hit elite rank, and why reaching the thing she'd worked for immediately filled her with fear instead of freedom 6:33 - The ways in which the business shifted for her after the first year of hitting elite 10:41 - Why Tanya never would have said she was carrying it all, plus what was eventually revealed about the invisible weight she'd been holding for her team 16:02 - The stage moment that changed everything and how sharing her truth made an entire room of leaders feel seen for the first time 27:01 - How Tanya discovered she was wearing the "Performer Mask" for many years, and the moment she realized her authenticity had quiet limits 33:24 - What it felt like to walk onto that stage a second time, now with language and calling leading the way 38:06 - The end-of-month moment Tanya deleted the recording she'd just sent and led her friend with her own voice instead 48:33 - Why she had seriously considered leaving network marketing to coach and what shifted when she realized she didn't have to choose between her calling and her business Click here to subscribe to our LOVE-LED™ Weekly emails!

What seems like a simple question about exclamation points opens up a much bigger discussion about the power of comics lettering. Brad and Dave talk about punctuation, word balloons, font choices, and the unique grammar of comics — and why cartoonists have tools that prose writers can only dream of. They also share thoughts on staying creative during major disruptions, from studio moves to home renovations. On today's show... Exclamation points in comics: how many is too many? Whether to use one, two, or three exclamation points Why comics grammar differs from prose grammar Using lettering, font size, bolding, and balloon shape instead of extra punctuation When punctuation becomes unnecessary in comics lettering Nate Piekos's The Essential Guide to Comic Book Lettering Question marks, exclamation points, and the interrobang How punctuation order can affect emotional meaning Writing dialogue for comics: numerals, abbreviations, and natural speech Jim Davis, Garfield, and simplifying comics language Meeting readers where they are through visual storytelling NCS Reuben Awards weekend in Columbus, Ohio Brad and Dave's panel: “Actionable Advice in a Time of Change” Remodeling, moving studios, and creative disruption Setting up a dedicated creative space during chaos Managing the cognitive load of unfinished studio/home projects Why working ahead matters before a move or remodel The danger of putting fun distractions in your studio The temptation of arcade cabinets, pool tables, and other creativity killers You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.

ON TODAYS PROGRAM… THREE BRITS ON THE PODIUM…LCH TAKES THE WIN IN BARCA AND TOTO SAYS…MAYBE HIS GIRL FRIEND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT!!! LECLERC CONTINUES HIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL KIMI'S DNF SLOWS DOWN HIS MOMENTUM AND… SO SO SAD…FERNANDO DEAD LAST IN QUALI…THE FINAL CURTAIN! TOYOTA WINS LEMANS AND NICK DE VRIES GETS THE LAST LAUGH! CORVETTE WINS THE GT3 CLASS AND… THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY…AN INTERVIEW WITH MIKA SALO. MORE GREAT TRIVIA FROM ANDREW. George Russell Congratulations to Lewis (Hamilton). He drove a really impressive race today after being incredibly quick in Qualifying yesterday. Coming into the weekend, I don't think we expected that pace from Ferrari, so we know we've got a challenge coming from them in the races ahead. We will be working hard to tackle that challenge and get back to winning ways. On my side, the race today was not straightforward. I was struggling with the tyres towards the end of my second and third stints; the Virtual Safety Car didn't help us either and it would have been a fascinating race with Lewis without that. I will take the positives from this weekend though. It has been clean from the very start and I come away with 18 points, which is 18 points more than I managed across Canada and Monaco! We will regroup in the week ahead and look to improve for Austria. We've got a big double-header coming up with Spielberg and Silverstone and I am already excited for it. Kimi Antonelli It is very disappointing to retire from P2, but these things can happen in racing. George suffered an issue in Canada and now it's happened to me; we know our reliability is something we need to work on and I am sure the team will be pushing incredibly hard to improve that. It's more important points that we've lost but we must remember that it is the first year of these new regulations and we are all learning quickly. Congratulations to Lewis (Hamilton) on his victory today. He is a great driver and has been so much help in my career so far. I am pleased to see him up there once again as he really deserves it. I think we had the pace today to challenge him for the win, but the Virtual Safety Car came out at a bad time for us, and we didn't get to see how things would have played out. We have one week without racing before returning in Austria. We have seen our competitors take a step forward here this weekend and we will need to raise our game there if we want to fight for victory again. We will pick ourselves up, learn from this weekend, and come back stronger. MAX VERSTAPPEN - 4th "Today we just didn't have the pace to keep up with the cars ahead. I was really just doing my own race as we were a little bit behind the guys that finished in front of me. As a Team we did everything right, it was the winning strategy, so we made the right call there with the tyres. We were just too slow compared to the cars ahead on each compound, unfortunately. We tried our best and put everything into it but ultimately the whole weekend was a bit tough for us. We do struggle more with these high energy tracks with high degradation and we just need to work on things and try to find more pace in the upcoming races." ISACK HADJAR - 6th "I felt like I had good pace this weekend once we got to Qualifying and the race, but I had a shocker at the race start with so much wheelspin, so that's one aspect I really want to focus on before Red Bull Ring. We could have fought with Oscar if we had a good start, so it's a bit of a shame. I think we did way better than we thought we would this weekend given the track layout and conditions. Austria will be a better track for us, and we expect to have a stronger car. We just need to work on the starts." TOYOTA TAKE ITS SIXTH VICTORY AT LE MANS Toyota executed a perfect, textbook strategy throughout the 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans to claim its first victory since 2022, securing a sixth overall triumph and equalling the tally of British marque Bentley. To spectacular fanfare, Japanese powerhouse Toyota Racing lifted the iconic trophy at a sun-kissed Circuit de la Sarthe for the first time in four years, in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators at the venue and millions more watching around the world. Drivers Kamui Kobayashi, Nyck de Vries and Mike Conway emerged as the team to beat at the end of the race, guiding the #7 Toyota to victory ahead of the sister #8 Toyota Racing entry, the #20 BMW M Team WRT and the #12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA machine in an epic four-way battle to the chequered flag – underlining the "Platinum Era" status that the Hypercar category is building. For Kobayashi, it was a second Le Mans victory. It marked a second triumph for British star Mike Conway and, for the first time in 38 years, a historic win for the Netherlands as Nyck de Vries became the latest Dutch driver to conquer Le Mans. It looked set to be another Toyota one-two, but BMW's never-say-die attitude ensured that the FIA World Endurance Championship points leaders – the #20 crew of Robin Frijns, René Rast and Sheldon van der Linde – claimed second overall and a valuable haul of championship points. Toyota could still be delighted with third place, although a few costly mistakes and strategy calls denied the #8 Toyota of Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryō Hirakawa another victory. Meanwhile, Cadillac can take plenty of plaudits once again. A crowd favourite throughout the week, the #12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA crew gave everything in pursuit of victory, and the pace they demonstrated at Le Mans suggests they will remain contenders for years to come. Inter Europol Competiton lock-out LMP2 It was a grandstand finish in LMP2 as Inter Europol Competition worked well overnight to bring both cars into the rostrum contention, but a second day charge from Forestier Racing by Panis had everyone on the edge of their seats, but after 24 hours of racing the Polish #43 ORECA with pilots Jakub Smiechowski, Tom Dillmann and Nicholas Yelloly win the penultimate race at Le Mans for this specification LMP2 car! Corvette charge back to the top! Corvette capture the magic of Le Mans once again with iconic yellow #33 Corvette run by TF Sport took LMGT3 laurels with Ben Keating, Jonny Edgar, Nicky Catsburg taking a popular leap onto the top step of the podium. Akkodis ASP Team put Lexus on the podium for the first time at Le Mans with the #78 car second and the #23 Heart of Racing Aston Martin joins in the celebrations in third.

(Valid through June 14th) This week, Dave returns from Alaska Comics Camp — https://minicon.alaskarobotics.com/comics-camp/ — with a glowing review of what he calls one of the most meaningful experiences of his professional life. He explains how the camp blends education, community, mentorship, and artistic growth in a remote setting that forces attendees to disconnect from technology and reconnect with one another. Along the way, Brad and Dave discuss what makes the camp special, the value of peer-to-peer learning, the recent panic over Kickstarter's updated NSFW guidelines, Eisner nominations, and the realities of pursuing recognition in comics. Alaska Comics Camp Alaska Robotics Comics Camp is a four-night creative retreat in the southeast Alaska rainforest for comics pros, visual storytellers, and adjacent creators — writers, game devs, filmmakers, journalists, musicians, and more. You have to apply to attend. It's not a standard “buy a badge and show up” event; accepted campers attend after the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con in Juneau. Cost: Camp is listed at $800, which includes four nights of lodging, meals, and transportation to/from downtown Juneau. Financial aid is available, and asking for aid does not affect application review. What to expect: workshops, presentations, peer conversations, campfires, board games, hanging out, and wandering through the woods and nearby ocean beach — basically “a professional development conference for people who don't like conference rooms.” Comfort level: rustic but not brutal — heated cabins, bunk beds with mattresses, flushing toilets, hot showers, power outlets, meals, snacks, coffee/tea, towels, and comfort items are provided. There's no regular Wi-Fi or cell service at camp, though service is reachable by hike or ride. How to participate next year: watch the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con / Comics Camp site and their social channels for the next application window. Recent camps have used an application process with deadlines months ahead of the event, so don't wait until spring to start looking. https://minicon.alaskarobotics.com/comics-camp/ Topics Covered A complete tour of Alaska Comics Camp and how it evolved from a small Juneau event into an international gathering of cartoonists School visits, library presentations, the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con, and the camp experience itself Why the lack of cell service is one of the camp's greatest strengths Classes taught by attendees on topics including storytelling, lettering, humor writing, character development, publishing, and business An NSFW-comics discussion that impressed Brad with the camp's openness and professionalism The importance of "Comics Rules" (similar to Chatham House Rules) in creating a safe environment for sharing industry information Real-world discussions of publishing contracts, agents, income, and career sustainability The anonymous income survey that helps attendees understand the wide range of successful cartooning careers Why Alaska Comics Camp has become one of Dave's favorite events in all of comics Stories from ComicLab listeners who attended camp after hearing about it on the podcast Dave's observations about Alaska's landscape, culture, and strong sense of community The tale of a failed camp water pump and Pat Race's MacGyver-level solution involving a distillery, a fire department, and a garden hose The viral misinformation claiming Kickstarter had banned pornography What Kickstarter's updated NSFW guidelines actually said Why Stripe — not Kickstarter — is the real concern for adult-content creators Brad's emergency solo Pro Tips episode explaining the new guidelines How creators can avoid overreacting to social-media panic cycles Listener feedback about what Brad and Dave's voices sound like to non-Americans Congratulations to friends of the show, including Ryan North, Glenn Fleishman, Tony Cliff, and Steve Lieber, on their Eisner nominations A discussion about award submissions, advocacy, and why creators must nominate themselves The realities of comics awards, including Eisners, Ringo Awards, Hugos, Reubens, and Ignatz Awards Whether award nominations come from changing your work — or simply years of steady improvement and persistence You get great rewards when you join the ComicLab Community on Patreon$2 — Early access to episodes$5 — Submit a question for possible use on the show AND get the exclusive ProTips podcast.

Should cartoonists hire a social-media manager? Brad and Dave discuss the pros and cons of outsourcing social media and ultimately argue that most creators should handle it themselves.

Gentle believes this creature to be "prima material" which can be used to complete The Great Work and create the Philosophers Stone which can then resurrect Liam. Along the way the encounter a frontier warlord, a town of progressives called the Harmonites, and many other strange things.

With both Brad and Dave nominated for awards this year, the guys spiral into a surprisingly deep conversation about awards, marketing, ego, and whether creators should plaster “award nominee” stickers all over their books. Later, they tackle a listener question about using 3D models, digital sets, and reference material in comics production — leading to a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how both creators actually build comics pages in tools like Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. Along the way, they discuss why imperfections matter in cartooning, how typography affects visual storytelling, and why “cheating” is often just another word for “working smarter.” Today's Show Should you put an award nomination on a book cover?

Get Jimmie's book free: JimmieApplegate.comBook a conversation: BeaconTreatmentCenter.com Email Jimmie: Jimmie@LiveSober.us What if everything you thought you knew about recovery was built on a broken foundation?In this episode of Capability Amplifier, I sit down with Jimmie Applegate, founder of Beacon Treatment Center in Arizona, author of Addicted to Failure, and a man who spent 30 years in the grip of addiction before finding what actually works. What he built on the other side of that journey is one of the most thoughtful, science-backed, and genuinely human approaches to recovery I've ever come across.Jimmie's guiding principle is simple but powerful: there are as many doorways to recovery as there are people. The moment you force everyone through the same door, you start losing them. Addiction is customized to the individual, and so recovery has to be too.We go deep on the 4 doors every person in recovery moves through, the real neuroscience behind why 30-day programs fail, what it takes to reach someone who hasn't admitted they have a problem yet, and the vision Jimmie is building toward, including a new facility in the Black Hills to serve the Lakota Nation, where the average adult male dies at 47.The people you'll hear from in this episode - Ryan, Travis, Sheldon, and Talbot - all came through Jimmie's program and now work inside it. They are proof the doors exist.In this episode, Jimmie and I break down:Why the traditional recovery system keeps cycling people through failure - and what the alternative looks likeThe 4 doors to recovery and what each one actually means in a person's lifeReal stories from men who hit every kind of rock bottom, and what finally changedWhy rock bottom is not always required, and why waiting for it is sometimes fatalThe science behind brain rewiring and why 6 to 8 months is the real minimumHow intentional stress, nature, and brotherhood are built into the treatment modelThe role of multi-generational trauma, especially in Native American communitiesWhat Jimmie is building next - the app, the Black Hills facility, and the $7 million askNote: The experiences and recovery stories shared in this episode are real accounts from individuals who went through Jimmie's program.

Hello my friends! I'm thrilled to be bringing you this episode of The Becoming Podcast with my lovely friend Megan Sheldon. Megan and I have been connected for years through our mutual love of ritual and honouring the threshold moments of our lives. She's been a previous guest on this podcast, I've been a guest on her podcast, and we've collaborated many times. This time, I'm so excited to be sharing this conversation as Megan prepares to launch her book into the world. I was honoured to be an early reader of this book, and Megan even invited me to write the foreword! I can't wait until you can read it, too! First, let me tell you a bit more about Megan: Megan Sheldon is a humanist celebrant, end-of-life doula, ritual designer, and founder of Be Ceremonial. For over a decade she has guided individuals, families, and communities through the moments that matter most, from births and weddings to grief, loss, and the invisible thresholds in between. Her book Ritual Without Religion: A Humanist Guide to Creating Secular Ceremonies offers a path back to one of the most ancient of human practices for anyone who has felt the ceremony-shaped hole. She lives and works on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples in North Vancouver, BC. Here's some of what Megan and I talk about in our conversation: ✔️ The backstory of Megan's book, Ritual Without Religion, and how for so long she felt she couldn't access the ritual and ceremony that she longed for because she wasn't raised with a religious background. ✔️ How important it is bring ritual and ceremony into our lives in the small moments, not just the big ones. ✔️ An overview of Ritual Without Religion, including its' sections on the nature of ritual, the science of ritual, the art of ritual and the practice of ritual. Megan covers topics like the effect of ritual on our bodies, how to hold space for ritual, rituals that "colour outside the lines," as well as tangible tools to help readers bring more ritual and ceremony into their lives. ✔️ The fact that our culture seems to be undergoing a paradigm shift whereby more and more people are craving, talking about and engaging in ritual. ✔️ The idea of ceremony-as-survival – that doing ritual isn't just a "nice thing to do," but that it was actually central to our ancestors' survival, and core to our modern wellbeing as well. ✔️ How ritual is a muscle that we need to learn to flex before we really need it in a moment of crisis or desperation. ✔️ How we can do ceremony with people who aren't super into it, becoming more confident ritual and ceremony leaders and facilitators.

Sessions returns to one of the strongest conversations in the Radulich in Broadcasting Network archive: the Jupiter's Legacy review with Robert Winfree. What begins as a discussion of a Netflix superhero series becomes a sharper debate about power, restraint, morality, and the terrifying question at the center of the whole thing: if people don't agree with what those in power are doing, who could stop them? The show frames that conflict through Sheldon and Walter, two men arguing over whether power should be limited by principle or used to reshape the world. From there, the conversation expands into modern anxiety about oligarchs, sealed files, private justice, public decay, and systems that no longer seem answerable to anyone. The result is “WHO COULD STOP US?”, an industrial rock track built like propaganda music for a collapsing empire: mechanical, confrontational, danceable, and paranoid in all the right ways. This is what Sessions is for—not recap, but extraction. Find the argument.

El fin de semana dejó dos grandes protagonistas fuera de la Fórmula 1: Christian Lundgaard y BMW. Uno triunfó en el circuito rutero de Indianápolis con una maniobra memorable; el otro devolvió a la marca bávara a lo más alto de la resistencia mundial casi tres décadas después. Y en esas dos carreras se centra el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. El mayo de Indianápolis empieza a dar espectáculo… y sorpresas. En la IndyCar, Christian Lundgaard firmó una de las victorias más importantes de su carrera en el Sonsio Grand Prix disputado en Indianápolis. El piloto danés del equipo Arrow McLaren protagonizó el adelantamiento decisivo sobre David Malukas en una maniobra espectacular que rápidamente se convirtió en una de las imágenes del año. La acción se produjo en la zona técnica previa a la recta trasera del IMS. Lundgaard, aprovechando una mejor temperatura de neumáticos tras haber parado una vuelta antes, lanzó un ataque agresivo pero limpio que le permitió hacerse con el liderato sin contacto alguno. La maniobra resumió perfectamente el espíritu de una categoría donde el pilotaje directo sigue siendo protagonista. Mala suerte para Alex Palou. La carrera, sin embargo, también estuvo marcada por la mala fortuna de Álex Palou. El español dominó buena parte del inicio tras salir desde la pole y parecía encaminado hacia otra victoria, pero una neutralización cambió completamente el desarrollo estratégico de la prueba. La decisión de no entrar inmediatamente en boxes bajo bandera amarilla terminó condenando sus opciones. Aun así, Palou volvió a demostrar por qué lidera cómodamente el campeonato: remontó desde el fondo del grupo hasta finalizar quinto, ampliando incluso su ventaja en la clasificación general gracias a los problemas de sus principales rivales. Con las 500 Millas de Indianápolis a la vuelta de la esquina, el campeonato entra ahora en su momento más importante de la temporada. WEC: Spa da espectáculo. Mientras tanto, en Spa-Francorchamps, el Mundial de Resistencia vivió una carrera caótica, estratégica y espectacular que terminó con un resultado histórico: BMW logró su primera victoria absoluta en resistencia internacional desde Le Mans 1999. El BMW M Team WRT construyó el triunfo a través de una apuesta estratégica arriesgada y perfectamente ejecutada. El equipo aprovechó las múltiples intervenciones del coche de seguridad y una gestión impecable para convertir una salida desde la décima y undécima posición en un doblete memorable. René Rast, Sheldon van der Linde y Robin Frijns lideraron el coche ganador, mientras que el segundo BMW resistió heroicamente los ataques de Ferrari y Toyota en las últimas vueltas gracias a una defensa magistral de un viejo conocido de la F1: Kevin Magnussen. ¿Dónde estuvieron Toyota y Ferrari? Ferrari volvió a mostrarse competitivo, pero pequeños errores en boxes y problemas puntuales les alejaron de la victoria. Toyota tampoco logró encontrar el ritmo suficiente para luchar por el triunfo, mientras Aston Martin firmó su mejor resultado hasta la fecha en Hypercar con un sólido cuarto puesto. La carrera también dejó decepciones importantes para Alpine y Peugeot, ambos fuera de combate cuando parecían candidatos claros al podio. Spa volvió a demostrar por qué es uno de los grandes escenarios del automovilismo mundial: estrategia, lluvia, accidentes, luchas cuerpo a cuerpo y cambios constantes de situación. Y ahora, el horizonte ya apunta hacia Le Mans, que rematará, junto al GP de España de F1, uno de los meses más apasionantes en el MotorSport.

A listener asks whether some words are inherently funnier than others—and it opens the door to a deep dive on word choice, dialogue, and how to make jokes land harder. Brad and Dave break down why shorter, punchier words tend to win, how sound and rhythm affect comedy, and why you should always end on the funniest word. They also walk through their real-world writing process—cutting aggressively, reading dialogue out loud, and constantly swapping in better word choices. From there, the conversation expands into how to write strong dialogue (hint: it's not about realism—it's about impact), plus a list of pitfalls to avoid, including gimmicky accents, overstuffed word balloons, and writing that slows the reader down. They also revisit a past take on political cartoons (turns out, they're thriving on Reddit), talk about the return of Web 1.0 strategies like guest comics, and reinforce a core principle: own your platform and your audience.

This episode examines a Bluesky thread where cartoonists self-reported their financial realities. While the original question was thoughtful — seeking insight into full-time and part-time comic careers — the resulting discussion revealed a common problem: an echo chamber of discouragement. Brad and Dave emphasize that these threads often skew negative due to self-selection bias. Many successful creators don't participate—either because they're busy, uncomfortable sharing income, or wary of backlash. The result? A distorted picture where it appears that no one is succeeding, even though many are.

(Valid through June 14th) On Today's Show: Your comic is gaining traction — but now readers want answers faster than you can tell the story.

PLUS — CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVE KELLETT FOR HIS HUGO AWARD NOMINATION! TOPICS Dave Kellett has been nominated for a Hugo Award How much to share with an eager audience ComicLab Confab (609) DRY-ELB-0 Update: USPS fuel surcharge will *not* affect Media Mail prices New tariff worries NCS conference and Reuben Awards Aug. 6-8, Columbus, Ohio Different ways to present a scene A listener question leads into the episode's central topic: what to do when a new project suddenly starts attracting attention and readers begin asking lore questions faster than the story can answer them. Brad and Dave frame this as the best possible problem for a storyteller to have — not a crisis, but proof that the story is working. Their advice is to resist the urge to dump exposition too early, and instead use reader curiosity as fuel to keep them engaged and coming back for more. Another listener question asks how to make necessary exposition more entertaining in a history comic, and the hosts widen that into a general storytelling discussion. They explore how to handle “problem panels” — moments where important information must be conveyed, but the raw facts feel static or dull. Their answer is that exposition does not need to be delivered plainly: creators can change the point of view, alter the tone, insert found documents, frame facts through action, or even break into totally different storytelling modes if it makes the comic more engaging. The episode also includes a couple of business updates for cartoonists. Brad shares good news about USPS fuel surcharges not applying to Media Mail, which matters for creators shipping books, while Dave warns that new tariffs may affect imported book shipments and advises cartoonists to build more buffer into Kickstarter budgets for 2026. It's a practical reminder that making comics also means staying alert to the changing realities of fulfillment and production costs.
