Our main topic comes by way of Storrior Mark Harmon (http://www.harmonillustration.blogspot.com/): "I'd like to hear opinions about the legality of drawing and selling licensed characters that are not owned by the artist selling them."

This spirals out to a bit of a mini-topic on conventions and what it takes to keep one's spirits up when tabling at a show. From there we take on a topic suggested by Mark Harmon (http://www.harmonillustration.blogspot.com/): I want to know how many artists out there tend to draw for our peers more than our audience.

From Sean Cooke (http://www.seancooke.com/): Maybe the difference/mindset between digital file creation and tangible finals? I know you and Mark both do it differently, right? From Mark Harmon (http://www.harmonillustration.blogspot.com/): Maybe this could be a small side topic, but, what about exercise so we don't get fat sitting at the desk all day. From Ryan Dow (http://introspectivecomics.com/): How about repeating yourself for a topic?

The more I make comics, the more I find myself repeating the same themes and tropes, even when I don't realize it. Is this something to watch out for as it might bore an audience or is it a natural part of your voice?

Especially if it's a critique from someone more experienced or advice that would force you to completely redesign your site/book. Krishna, Mark and I then spend the rest of the show discussing how we take criticism, critiques, as well as how a creator can gird themselves for the emotional lows that come with some criticism.

When do we cross the line between sharing our difficulties and when are we outright complaining? We move on from that to talk about some interesting prose collections containing comics as well. We mention a New York Times book review by Alison Bechdel done entirely in comics form (http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2009/03/29/books/bechdel-ready.html), then discuss The Book of Other People, edited by Zadie Smith (http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9780143038184-0), and State by State: A Panoramic Portrait of America By Matt Weiland and Sean Wilsey (http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061470905/State_by_State/index.aspx). After that we spend a few minutes on the new G.I. Joe: Resolute series airing on Adult Swim (http://www.adultswim.com/) in an attempt to figure out whether aging up franchises like the Joes is a good thing or a bad thing. The last half of the show is spent on discussing a topic provided by Thomas James (http://thomasjamesillustration.com/), specifically the difference in style and detail between cover and interior art in our comics publications.

After that we spend a few minutes on the new G.I. Joe: Resolute series airing on Adult Swim (http://www.adultswim.com/) in an attempt to figure out whether aging up franchises like the Joes is a good thing or a bad thing. The last half of the show is spent on discussing a topic provided by Thomas James (http://thomasjamesillustration.com/), specifically the difference in style and detail between cover and interior art in our comics publications.

From Dungeon Warden: I'm also interested in Kid vs Adult webcomics. Is it a good idea to push the limits of good taste or should comics be for everyone? I fear my comic is too middle of the road, neither for kids nor violent enough for adults. What are your thoughts on this? We then take on at topic proposed indirectly by Matt Munn, who was twittering (http://twitter.com/Matt_Munn) about the ups and downs that face a cartoonists' morale.

So no fanfare this week--just diving into some more comics topics, which is probably for the best. We start out with revisiting the notion of "writer's block" and "artist's block", based on a suggestion from MarkCalifornia. Are these blockages a reality, or are they just funks that we can shake ourselves out of? If it's the latter, how do we shake ourselves out of it? The second half of our conversation revolves around Twitter (http://twitter.com). We start out with some complaints about Twitter etiquette, but close it out with an exploration of why Twitter is just so darned compelling.

It's the year anniversary of the live show, and none of us realized it until after we were done recording. So no fanfare this week--just diving into some more comics topics, which is probably for the best. We start out with revisiting the notion of "writer's block" and "artist's block", based on a suggestion from MarkCalifornia. Are these blockages a reality, or are they just funks that we can shake ourselves out of? If it's the latter, how do we shake ourselves out of it? The second half of our conversation revolves around Twitter (http://twitter.com). We start out with some complaints about Twitter etiquette, but close it out with an exploration of why Twitter is just so darned compelling. I also take full responsibility for the rant about cursing on Twitter. My opinions don't necessarily reflect those of Mark or Krishna.

This from Jim Gould of Life Rickdiculous (http://liferickdiculous.com/): "The suggestion of looking back on yours and each others' work and what you really liked seems fitting for a 50th show. My wife is a teacher/choreographer of dance, and recently (last weekend) they had the studio recital. As I sat in the theater I could tell of the 20 pieces she had in the show, which were the ones that she was really excited about, and had put a lot of thought and effort. Now that is not to say the others were throw away, it's just that there were 5 that she would come home and want me to watch the video of the progress they had made. In the show I could see how much effort she put into those 5 and they really stood out in the show (among hers and other teachers' pieces). All that being said, I'm sure that you two must have art or a story line, a joke that your are really proud of, and it would be great to explore that (and the others who dial in, like Krishna)...

We have a spirited debate this week, based on a topic originally "tweeted" to the masses by Scott Kurtz of PVP (http://www.pvponline.com/), and suggested to us by Tim Hengeveld (http://predatorproductions.com/): "In order to save comic books, we have to stop fetishizing them. Discuss." We read some of his follow-up tweets to clarify the point, then we dive in and have a lively discussion on the topic. Mark and I had some audio issues during recording, but we were carried through to victory by beloved co-host Krishna Sadasivam of PC Weenies (http://pcweenies.com) and Uncubed (http://uncubedthecomic.com).

How does one get past the whole issue of finding one's style? Is it better to just jump in and make comics, or should one work hard to improve one's illustration skills before that? This episode features a great roundtable of cartoonists who all do their level best to pull from their own experience to answer the questions. It was a toughie, and I appreciate the help of all the panelists, including unofficial co-host Krishna Sadasivam of PC Weenies (http://pcweenies.net) and Uncubed (http://uncubedthecomic.com); Scott Story of Johnny Saturn (http://www.scottstoryillustrator.com/johnnysaturn/); and Tim Fischer of Comix Mill (http://comix-mill.com) and The Amateur Hour (http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=45791&cmd=tc).

This week we tackle a topic submitted by Kaiki: How does a cartoonist balance the time spent on artistic improvement vs. the all-important social networking? We discuss the various ways to do double-duty when we can, including participating in a comics talkcast like Javiland (http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/tscmd/tc/24098), The Sequential Artists' Pub (http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/tscmd/tc/20378), The Mini-Comics Dump Truck (http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/tscmd/tc/24924), or The Amateur Hour (http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/tscmd/tc/45791). Kevin suggests using things like (http://twitter.com)Twitter as a "coffee break" between self-imposed milestones in the workday. Krishna suggests using software like Think (http://freeverse.com/apps/app/?id=7013) to help one keep focus when working, instead of checking the Twitter feed and email every five minutes. We then move on to a topic submitted by Danny Burleson (http://oycomics.com/): How does one manage the inevitable development of an artistic style? As you work on a comic, your character designs are bound to change. Should they? How important is artistic consistency? Can changing your style work against your work?

From Kevin Cross: What do we think about when we hear the term "Condensed Storytelling"? What are the different concerns facing comics creators when making a longer story versus a shorter one? From The Blog Comics: What's the difference between making black & white and color comics? Why would we choose one and not the other? From Gamegeezer: How does one find interesting visuals for a strip where two characters are just talking to one another? We try to wrap it up with a discussion on critiques, based on Krishna Sadasivam's recent experiences. This tends to be a dicey topic, though, and I hope no one was hurt in the discussion.

What are the warning signs that tell us we're forcing a style? What do/should we strive for in developing our style/voice? Is it more important to always strive for something "original", or should we learn what our voice is through imitation of others? Why do so many artists copy the styles of others? We follow that up with some talk on originality. We all fear that our work and/or story is too similar to something else out there that's met some success. Sometimes we unconsciously ripped something off. Sometimes we find out that someone had the same idea without our knowledge. Is this such a bad thing? How much energy should we put into worrying about being similar to others (in style or content)? When is it straight-up plagiarism, and when is it just similar? And if it's just similar, why do we fear doing what's already been done? Is originality a quality exclusive to the content of a story, or are there other ways to be original?
