This week, we’re joined once again by Jordan Thomas (Weird Work / The Man From Maybe) as we discuss his comics origins, balancing the grounded and the surreal, his new Mad Cave series Mugshots, and more!
IDB is an all-new weekly podcast presented by Ashcan Press and featuring Matthew Rosenberg, the Supple Boiz, and wonderful guests from the world of comic books!
Our theme song is “Where’s the Poison” by Summer People.
Enjoy!
Hi.
Got a bunch of new subscribers this week. Thankful for all you new folks. More thankful for the folks who’ve been here though. My appreciation is cumulative. But don’t fret, new people! Now you have something to work for. Stick around long enough and you might just get a “means a lot that you’ve stuck around” from me.
Okay, definitely just had 50 people unsubscribe after that paragraph.
Excited to have Part II of our chat with Jordan Thomas out. If you missed Part I you can listen to it here. Last week I urged all of you to go get Jordan’s new book MUGSHOTS #1. I am happy to report that quite a few people messaged me to say they picked it up after listening to our chat and all had positive things to say! See? The system works! So if you are one of the people who didn’t buy it last week, buy it this week. I wouldn’t lie to you (I definitely would).
Speaking of picking up books, my excellent cohosts Edmund and Graymund recently finished their series KILL YOUR DARLINGS and it’s excellent. So excellent they got the Eisner nomination for Sweetest Boys. I’m sure you all bought the single issues, because you are smart and have good taste, but now you can buy the collected edition and proudly display it on your bookshelf or the dashboard of your car.
The final order cutoff is today, so let your shop know you want a copy or three.
