This episode was recorded on the floor of the 2024 Small Press Expo where I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Gideon Kendall, co-author and artist of Wait…It Gets Worse, which is now available as big, beautiful hardcover omnibus with brand new stories from Cosmic Lion.

In Pyongyang, Guy Delisle took you inside a North Korean animation studio. In the newly-released Factory Summers, Guy takes us inside the Quebec City paper mill where he worked in his youth. It's Delisle's most personal book to date, and maybe the only one that has something in common with Moby Dick!

You know what's lame? When someone tries to tell you about their dreams. Amazingly, when Jerome Gaynor does it in comic form in his new book Sogni Strani, the results are pretty fantastic. That's because he's got his dream-recording method down to a science, which is one of the things we talk to him about on this episode of BUY THIS COMIC!
