            <description>In response to a listener email, Mark and I discuss what we generally talk about during our â??Crisis Callsâ??â??examples and techniques we use to talk one another back into drawing comics. We also discuss how we manage to get back to work despite periods of ennui, and how emotional turmoil can be fodder for future comics stories. Even ones featuring space monsters and silly action.

Not much talk about Comics mechanics or theory, but a part of the artistic process, nonetheless.

Also, the latest episode of our comic, The Galactic League of Marshals (www.marshals.sugaryserials.com), began updating this week!</description>

            <description>This week we have a discussion with Scott (Kimonostereo) Yoshinaga of nemu*nemu (http://nemu-nemu.com) about the branding options available to an online cartoonist in a web 2.0 world. We discuss the common wisdom of online comics publishing, but then go into a brief comparison study of other publishing models, from print comics publishing to prose to music.

We feel like we only scraped off a tip of this iceberg. If you have any thoughts to contribute to this conversation, send us an email (artandstory@gmail.com) or maybe bring them to one of our live episodes (http://www.cvcomics.com/artandstory/?page_id=66)!</description>

            <description>This week we find ourselves tired and lost for an idea for an episode. So we take that as an opportunity to try out an exercise about keeping with it despite fatigue. After talking things over, we find our steam again and go into a discussion of what tools we use in our comics, from the first sketches to the digital finishes.

We also have the return of the Big Honor segment with Anne Drozd. This week she reviews Stuart Kolakovic&apos;s &quot;A Gosling&quot;.</description>

            <description>We&apos;ve made it to ten! Instead of presenting you with a clip show filled with our favorite moments, we decided to go a little free-form and talk about non-comic influences. The conversation stays in the realm of TV and film, but bounces around from Jim Henson to Orson Welles to Dario Argento.</description>
