Episode 26 - "John Ostrander"
Show Notes: This episode Nicki and I catch up with one of our favorite writers, and humans- John Ostrander. We met "Uncle John" several years back at MidSouthCon and immediately became friends. He's a legendary comics creator who's worked for Marvel, DC Comics, Dark Horse, Image, Valiant, as well as First Comics- which was his first comics gig. He's been a playwright, director, actor- and almost a priest..! Just before Covid struck he filmed a cameo scene as Dr. Fitzgibbon for the upcoming "The Suicide Squad" movie by James Gunn, which will be released in theaters and HBO Max on August 6, 2021.

Episode 25 - "Heroineburgh"
Show Notes: "HEROINEBURGH" is a live-action episodic video series and a comic book series (and created in that order). The stories are about a universe of superpowered females in a fantastical version of Pittsburgh. It's adventure, drama, comedy and romance, all in the finest spandex and capes, and the comic book art is classic Bronze Age- with some modern computer coloring. The videos are available for download from their website- Heroineburgh.com, and the comics are on sale in over 150 stores nationwide and at their many comic con and comic shop appearances. In this episode I talk with the mysterious Mr. H about the world of HEROINEBURGH, creating comics and shooting video in the Steel City, plus swap some stories about his connection to the Memphis music scene. So hop on the bus, Gus- and make a new plan to take a trip to Heroineburgh...by way of Memphis.

Episode 24 - "Mic Check, Please?"
Show Notes: This episode is one of my shorter ones, and for this mini-sode my cats Jarael and Lena decided to visit me in the Batcave while I worked. I recently got in a new mic and wanted to give it a test drive. I figured while I was recording I could share some MSCA news and let you know what Nicki and I have been up to lately. Thanks to Peter Rios for the shout-out on his "The Daily Rios" podcast. He mentions my show on TDR Ep. 503 during his conversation with Dave Dwonch, as well as playing my "Drawing Funny" promo spot- thanks, Peter! I've got two comics conversations scheduled for this week and will be bringing those to you as soon as I can.
If you'd like to be a part of the show or have your comics project or event featured on a future episode please give me a yell. You can contact me at: podcast(at)drawingfunny(dot)com

Episode 23 - "Winston Gambro"
Winston Gambro is a graphic designer by day, and comic creator by night. He’s created the comedy webtoon "Gumshoe City", which has detective Meatball Matthews journeying out of his element when his best friend disappears and leaves behind a dead body; his online cyberpunk mystery "Overflow", that has Ava Lee, a private detective attempting to prove her brother didn't commit a war crime and possibly stop the end of the world; and his anthology comic series "Rex Radley: Boy Adventurer", an all ages book that was inspired by every awesome cartoon made to sell toys (and was successfully backed by two Kickstarter campaigns). Winston currently lives in Aurora, IL with his cat, Hazel.

Episode 21 - "Con Survival Guide"
Show Notes: Since many folks are heading to cons again or are gearing up to, I thought I'd share some thoughts on setting up at and/or attending conventions. I've been doing it off and on since the early '90s, as an attendee, artist guest, volunteer, con staff, organizer- at one time doing a con a month or every other month..! I've stopped setting up as an artist/guest or putting on shows, but still love attending cons. There's lots more I could have put into this episode, but figured this one was long enough at 45min. Plus, I remembered a few extras after I had edited it..D'oh! So, maybe I'll do a follow up episode after attending a few post-pandemic events. If you'd like more info on conventions and portfolio reviews, or see some of the cons and events I've attended be sure to check out my LinWorkman.com art blog and HaveGeekWillTravel.com travel blog (lots of posts in the archives). I recorded an interview with Marvin Wynn, writer of "The Edge" comic, and we discussed cons in that episode. I'm working on editing and uploading it. If you've got advice or tips on surviving a con shoot me an email- podcast (at) drawingfunny (dot) com. Looking at bringing some show/event organizers on the show to see what info/advice they can share on the subject. Until then, stay tooned!

Episode 20 - "'Til Death Do Us Art" With Nicki Workman
Show Notes: I did another interview with my live-in tech support person- my wife, Nicki Workman. We talked about what it's like to live with an artist like me- the pros and cons, and being a spouse of a pro at cons. During our conversation she shared some of her experiences of dealing with me and other artists/creators, her thoughts on making a marriage work (so far so good for us!), as well as dropping some useful business knowledge for artists and those who live and/or work with one. Nicki's other Drawing Funny episodes are Episode 17 – “I.T. Phone Home”, Episode 9 – “Nicki’s Mouse Report” and a Flashback Friday interview at the 2018 DonnieCon on Episode 4 – “Drawn Of The Dead”. I always enjoy talking toons with my wife, and I hope you enjoy this episode. Waiting to hear back from some upcoming guests and am hoping to get back on a more regular schedule soon. Until then, stay tooned!

Episode 19 - "Southern Exposure"
Show Notes: On this episode I (Lin Workman) talk about exposure- the good, the bad, and the ugly I've experienced as an artist and comics creator. I also discuss some of the promotions I've done in the past, and try to share what to do (or not do) when promoting yourself and/or project. Don't die from exposure or get arrested for exposing yourself to others- learn from my mistakes and learn how to judge what's good or bad exposure for you.
I hope you're staying safe, staying warm, and staying tooned..!

Episode 18 - "Little Deaths" With David Doub
Show Notes: On this episode I talk to Little Deaths creator and Texas transplant - David Doub. David is the founder of Dusk Comics. His numerous publications include Dusk, Miss Tilney, Forever, Mystery Masque, and the upcoming Little Deaths. According to the interwebs, "La petite mort" (the little death), is an expression which means "the brief loss or weakening of consciousness" and in modern usage refers specifically to "the sensation of post orgasm as likened to death." The term "la petite mort" does not always apply to sexual experiences. It can also be used to describe a weakening or loss of consciousness, specifically in sleep, or when some undesired thing has happened to a person and has affected them so much that "a part of them dies inside." The Little Deaths we’ll be investigating today is a 30 page full color historical fantasy adventure comic, written by David Doub and featuring art by Andrew Herman and Paul Maitland. It's based on the French historical figure Julie…

Show Notes: Greetings, listeners! While doing a test flight on Zoom to try and work out some issues I've been having, I hit the record button and did an interview with my live-in tech support person- my wife, Nicki Workman. We talk toons, tech, podcasts, her experiences with backing crowdfunding as a fan, her comics origin stories, her going back to school while working from home- and how we met thanks to Darth Vader and Star Wars. I also mention some Mid-South Cartoonists Association news and give you the details for our first "Drawing Funny" contest (listen to win MSCA Zines, Samurai tee by me, and some MSCA and Drawing Funny swag).

Episode 16 - "Athena Voltaire" Steve Bryant
Show Notes: I talk toons, kickstarting art projects, conventions, (not) traveling, going back to school, and local weather conditions with the "Athena Voltaire" creator - Steve Bryant. We discuss his early work at gaming companies and with Action Lab Comics, and his current Kickstarter for his graphic novel- "Athena Voltaire and the Terror on the Orient Express".
There were some technical difficulties getting this episode together, and there's slight occasional buzzing here and there- but lots of great info and advice from Steve on self-publishing comics and running successful Kickstarter campaigns. Thanks for listening- hope you enjoy!
From Steve's Kickstarter campaign page:
An all-new 120 page graphic novel starring globetrotting aviatrix Athena Voltaire!
"Athena Voltaire and the Terror on the Orient Express" finds the heroine reconnecting with an old friend during a personal trip on the famed train line. When an old foe sets a plan in motion, the voyage turns deadly, as Athena…

Show Notes: I talk toons and kickstarting art projects with Sal "Uncle Sal" Abbinanti. We discuss his early work in advertising, self-publishing comics, representing other artists, and his first ever Kickstarter for his first ever graphic novel- "The Hostage".
From his Kickstarter campaign page:
By day, Sal Abbinanti is the art rep for comic book superstars Alex Ross and Bill Sienkiewicz, but by night he, too, is an artist. For more than two decades, the Chicago native has been obsessed with creating a graphic novel inspired by a visit he made to Brazil when he was in his early 20’s. Now, Abbinanti is launching a Kickstarter campaign for his dream project, a 115-page full-color original graphic novel set in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro titled THE HOSTAGE.
“When I was 25, I spent six months living in Rio de Janeiro,” said Abbinanti. “I was a starry eyed, full of shit college kid who went there for a Brazilian vacation of samba, nightlife, and beaches. To see the level o…

Episode 11 - "Batman VS Superking"
Show Notes: We're gonna start this new year with a trip back to the past in this "Flashback Friday" episode. Originally recorded for the Rogues Radio Podcast at the 2018 Memphis Comic Expo (AKA "DonnieCon"). I talk with the Bluff City Batman (James Fyke), wrestling historian and author Mark James, and wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler. We discuss Memphis wrasslin', comics, art, food, heart-attacks, and Batmobiles. Lots of Memphis memories are recalled. Unfortunately, Jerry's friend Jim Blake (who you hear mentioned in this episode) passed away October 1, 2020- he was 75 years old. Jim was a local business owner and heavily involved in underground music and art in the 60's, 70's and into the 80's. He was an avid comic book fan and could be seen at local comic shops and conventions. R.I.P., Jim.

Episode 10 - "PROcrastination"
Show Notes: This is the Mid-South Cartoonists Association's December Monthly Zoom Meeting- well, most of it. We talk toons, discuss what's happening around the M-town, swap ideas on self-promotion/increasing eyes on our artwork, and how to make money with it and commissions during a time with no (or few) in person conventions. The monthly video calls happen on the first Tuesday of each month, and honestly with everything that's been keeping me busy since this one was recorded it now qualifies as a "Flashback Friday" episode..! You can find website and social media links for many of our MSCA members on the group's Members Directory page and the "Winter" zine issue is now available for purchase in local Memphis area comic shops.

Episode 8 - "The Janimal"
Show Notes: The Janimal is a Jersey tomato roasting in the Arizona sun. A graduate of the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University (NJ), he now resides in Northern Arizona with his family and two cats. He has exhibited at comic conventions from Phoenix Fan Fusion to New York Comic Con and serves as the acting president of the Northern Arizona Cartoonist Association (NAZCA). His fun and cartoony style has a great retro feel and translates easily to the drawing demo classes that have been a staple at Verde Valley libraries and LibCons over the past five years.
His work can be seen on Facebook (The Janimal Draws), Instagram (@thejanimaldraws) and Twitter (@janimaltweets).

Plus I have updates on the MSCA Zine, our next MSCA Zoom meeting, and the upcoming live Supergirl Radio episode Nicki Workman and I will be guesting on December 1st. BTW- I goofed in the interview with Mike, the "monkeys ridin' dogs" radio ad was for the Delta Fair at Agricenter International, not the Mid-South Fair which is at the Landers Center in Southaven, MS. Also, Selmer is actually a bit south of Jackson, TN. My bad...
