How does a cancer diagnosis change one's life? Real estate professional and former lawyer Timothy Lim joins us on the pod to discuss how he parlayed his bout with the disease into an advocacy for medical cannabis and fuel to launch the head shop Lion Labs and all its offshoots. He discusses a potential path to legalization in the Philippines, policy differences in the Asian region, as well as vested interests and barriers to legal reform. Most striking was how he is not dwelling on setbacks, but seizing opportunities instead. While we covered some serious ground, Tim infused the conversation with good humor and optimism.

Comic writers Mark Pellegrini and Nandor Fox Shaffer join Wes to talk about writing action and transitions in comics books. Comic books are an action storytelling medium. Stories are told in static images of single actions (generally speaking), incorporating dialogue, thoughts and narration Action doesn't only mean fighting, it's everything your characters do during your story. If your story is not based in action it won't fully utilize the comic medium to its fullest. Action is what comic book writers use to demonstrate what is happening at any given moment in the story. While dialogue is what brings a story and its characters to life, narrative gives the story its depth and substance, action keeps the story moving.

Comic writers Aaron Sparrow and Mark Pellegrini join Wes to discuss the importance of mentorship for comic creators. Many see mentoring as a one-way street. The more experienced person takes the rookie under their wing, with the only reward perhaps being the satisfaction of watching their growth. In actuality, mentoring offers many growth benefits outside of simply feeling good about helping others. A mentor is someone who you can develop a long-term relationship that is centered around your professional or personal growth and development. Mentors do not work on a day-to-day basis to help make decisions, they are there to offer support, wisdom, and teaching over time. Mentors provides writers, artists, editors, etc. with opportunities to develop and become more competent in their craft and prepare for growth opportunities in the future. Mark, Aaron and Wes speak about the importance and benefits of finding the right comic book mentor.

Comic book writers Aaron Sparrow and Mark Pellegini talk about their experiences breaking into the comic book industry. The comic book industry is notorious for nepotism and good ole boy networks. Breaking in can be nearly impossible without the right connections. With the rise of crowd funding platforms Kickstarter and Indiegogo, today's comic creators can essentially bypass the industry altogether and take their comics directly to consumers.

Aaron Sparrow chose a more traditional route. Networking at conventions until he broke in as a comic book editor adapting manga for Tokyo Pop. Eventually he was the managing editor for BOOM! Kids Disney line of comics. No matter what path you choose, breaking into comics is all about hard work and perseverance.

Mark Pellegini and Wes take a deep dive into exploiting the comic book medium. No antagonist or protagonist can carry everything on their own. They need to be surrounded by friends, family, mentors, teachers and rivals to carry a story to a satisfying conclusion. In many ways developing engaging supporting characters is just as important creating your heroes and villains. Supporting characters are vital to fleshing out your main characters and setting, carrying subplots, creating conflict and providing crucial information. To create a captivating comic book story writers need to develop multiple supporting characters to support and challenge their antagonist.

Aaron Sparrow, Mark Pellegini and Wes take a deep dive into exploiting the comic book medium. Movies, television and prose have several storytelling limitations that aren't present in comic books. Live-action entertainment is great for presenting external action and conflict but have inherent weakness in presenting complex emotions and thoughts. Prose are great for presenting internal states but can fold under the pressure of explaining complex action scenes. Comic books allow creators the freedom to visually display elements of action and external expression and explain the internal thoughts and feelings of characters. Comic book creators are only limited by their own imaginations. Comic book readers expect creators to take full advantage of the medium when telling their stories.

Mark Pellegini and Wes break down Worldbuilding in comics. Worldbuilding is key no matter what genre or world you're creating in. It establishes the rules and setting your characters and story operate in. In many ways it can be the longest and most part of comic book writing. In fact, a vast majority of the rules, history and culture you create may never show up in your comic book. But it drives your story and allows readers to become immersed in the setting and story your telling.

Aaron Sparrow, Mark Pellegini and Wes dive into writing humor in comic books. Humor serves several purposes in comic books; it adds levity, satire, character development, identify relationships and entertain readers. Unless you're writing a comedic story a little bit of comedy can go along way. There are many pitfalls writers need to avoid in general and types of jokes that won't work in comic books. This lesson is a must for writers looking to incorporate jokes and humor into the writing.

Really big. Really, really big. To get an idea, go to https://travellermap.com/ Classic Traveller is “hard sci-fi” of the 70s and early 80s. Computers were huge and home computers weren’t a widespread thing, no internet, etc. For example: Some ship schematics have large area for computers. Lack of faster than light communications led to a more feudal / regional governmental system throughout the empire Weapons run the range from rocks to firearms to lasers. Daggers and knives are still very common because you don’t want to use lasers or bullets on a ship Ships usually carried a lot of sand. If enemy ships appeared, they could drop sand that would act as chaff / defense against lasers No hit points, damage is deducted from attributes Similar attributes to D&D, however instead of Wisdom and Charisma there was Education and Social Standing. Those could be codified, where the other two are more subjective No experience, no levels… advancement is through wealth, status, etc. Skills CAN be changed during adventuring by going back college or joining the military, etc. Or the Imperium goes to war and veterans get called back to service. Certain attributes can be changed during play… for example you marry into nobility They chose six siders because people already had them at home and would not need to buy polyhedrals Traveller appealed to David when he was younger because it cost less than the D&D books

Is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse just a fun movie or a cultural attack jam packed with social conditioning and ideological dog whistles?

Includes some fun general movie discussion at the end. Recorded during the December 21, 2018 Dave Elswick Show on 101.1 FM The Answer in Little Rock.
