Thunder Punch Daily 138 – Would it Kill Ya to Laugh?

Today I share some wisdom imparted to me by one of my young students, reminding me that sometimes we can overly focus on the effort it takes to make our comics, when all the audience cares about is the fun we have.

Links mentioned in this episode:

• My appearance on a publishing panel at the Chelsea District Library
• Dave Roman
• Dan Mishkin’s appearance on Comics Are Great! episode 01
• Madmen
• New video tutorials on my YouTube channel (Photoshop Illustrator)
