You might know that Angela had a book come out April 2022 from First Second, a major comics publisher. That book is Maker Comics: Live Sustainably and it is rad. It was years in the making (not all for the writing - Les McClaine drew it beautif
You might perhaps have heard about the Kickstarter currently running for What the Gnomes Know. It is a gnome-themed anthology run by CanonWrite Productions, same people who did Less Than Secret. Angela has a comic in both. Well, a hybrid comic
Yes, the answer is tea. Angela lives it. Abe knows it but pretends he doesn't. For nearly an hour, he pretends to think coffee is better. It must have been rough.(Yes, Angela writes these descriptions.)Contact us: Twitter and Instagram as @do
Feeling curious? We've got you covered. Our random discussion points this week cover the Everglades and mangroves, Charles Darwin and Mark Twain, artificial hearts and banana DNA, and more. And of course, mocking each other when we don't know t
We're trying a little stochastic magic as the jumping-off point for our conversation this week, using random searches to find topics. We ended up talking about the first saint from the united states, why trains have a caboose, how many letters
Both of us are continually working to hone our storytelling skills. As part of that work, we made our way through the exercises in The Short Story Writer’s Companion by Tom Bailey. The first exercise was to write a list of attributes about a ch
A while ago (around July/August of last year), the housing situation across America got very weird. Well, here in Bellingham, WA, rents increased from 0 to 100%. We lucked out at only a 30% increase. Ooh. It was the last straw. So here is our s
While This Is How You Lose the Time War might sound like a wibbly-wobbly timey-whimey back and forth and all about plot, it is not. Neither of us really like time-travel stories, usually. But this one was amazing. Time-travel is merely the back
BAAAT!We recently watched all three seasons of What We Do in the Shadows and it quickly became one of our favorite shows. But why?! We tried to talk about what we like and why we like it and how we can attempt to apply it to our own work. In th
It's time for us to gush about how much we love Murderbot. It would hate hearing us talk about it this way and would probably run away to binge watch some shows in a closet. Which, honestly, is what Angela wants to do when people compliment her
As two lovers of science fiction, we adored this course: How Science Shapes Science Fiction. Checked it out from the library and watched an episode or two every night. We liked it so much that with the next Great Courses sale, we bought our own
Starting in 2014, Angela started the natural science comic anthology Awesome 'Possum. With 4 volumes, it is a well-loved series. So here we talk about the making of this anthology, from ideation to working with creators to funding on Kickstarte
Angela is writing a sci-fi story. Sci-fi involves thinking about things like . . . would people still need to wear glasses? What is the new "phone"? In this episode, we discuss some of the world features Angela wants and needs to include in thi
Do you want to read a book that makes you feel all the feelings? It's A Man Called Ove by Frederick Backman.This week, we are talking about A Man Called Ove: comparing the book and the movie, and discussing what in the world makes this such a c
Back when Angela was attending The Center for Cartoon Studies, she created the comic Green Thumbs for an anthology assignment. Before that, we had tried working on it together. It was . . . not a success. In this episode, we talk about what fai
"We talk about organization," as Abe would put it. Angela organizes in piles and Abe organizes by improv and neither of us like the other's style. You might even say we passionately dislike each other's organizational styles. But we like each o
Before it was a movie with Matt Damon, The Martian was a very fun book by Andy Weir. More in the realm of hard sci-fi, the follows Mark Watney's attempts to live after being stranded alone on Mars. Sounds like it could be boring, but Weir is ex
This time, we discuss Descender by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen. We both thoroughly enjoyed this series, so we discuss the things we like, the things we don't like, and more importantly why. This is less of a review and more of a dissection.
Since it's Thanksgiving week, we thought it was the right time to share the food episode! We have very strong and contradictory opinions about food. Cheer us on or curse us for the monsters that we are!Most importantly, have a wonderful Thanksg
One of the first projects we did together was the webcomic The Jerks. We did it for a few years and it was an incredibly fun project. Our tagline: Because there aren't enough poop and vomit jokes in the world. This might surprise you. If
Angela works at a public library (as a page: checking in and shelving books) and David Shannon's Mr. Nogginbody Gets a Hammer came across her desk. It was instant love. She brought it home and gave it a read. It was deeper love. So we read all
And now for our most controversial episode ever, it's our favorite topic: poop. Initially recorded as a test, this episode was so enjoyed by our test listeners that we decided to release it to the world. If you don't think poop is funny, come b
We are both creators—Abe as a writer and photographer, Angela as a cartoonist/illustrator and writer—but we each think about things very differently. So let's discuss how we go about creating our various arts and how we incorporate the other in
Since we needed to post an episode to finish all the back-end workings, we figured this was a good time to give you a quick introduction to who we are. Angela asks Abe three questions. Abe asks Angela three questions. And we tell you three impo
