Our theme song is “Where’s the Poison” by Summer People.
Enjoy!
Hello again!
It seems that Canada Month™️ is continuing here on Ideas Don’t Bleed. We are joined this week by the wonderful Chip Zdarsky™️ of Canada! If you aren’t familiar with Chip’s work you are not living your best life because he is making an unfair percentage of the best comics around these days. From being co-creator and artist on the hit book SEX CRIMINALS, to being co-creator and writer on also hit books like KAPTARA, STILLWATER, and NEWBURN, to his getting sick of having to share credit with other people and being the sole creator on the brilliant PUBLIC DOMAIN, Chip is consistently telling some of the most engaging stories in comics. Wikipedia tells me he also writes somethings called DAREDEVIL and BATMAN. Don’t those sound like fun?
Anyway, Chip and I got our start at Marvel around the same time and he was always someone who had a good head for both the business and the creative side of comics and someone I came to really look to for advice. So I wanted to have him on our podcast to share some of that insight with you. And also I knew he’d be really mean to Ethan and Griffin and that would make me laugh. So I hope you enjoy this part one of our chat. And if you do, or even if you don’t, I’d implore you to go read his newsletter. It is always brilliantly funny and uncomfortably intimate. But also it is the place to get early looks at PUBLIC DOMAIN and KAPTARA and any other secret stuff he might be working on. It’s well worth your time. And if you give him money it’s worth that too.
