Yes, it's an Eric episode. We're joined by Miriam Gevinson to talk to Eric (yes Eric!) about his first time producing a live comedy improv show in Chicago, IL. What the what?! Yes Eric!.

To be frank and honest -- we have no idea why we reviewed this comic this month instead of when it was sent to us last year...but it's a really cool comic and we hope you can find it. Paul sent it to us months ago, there was no discussion that we would be doing it now. Kind of assuming that the email got lost until recently, but it's been a couple weeks since we recorded and I can't remember. We hope you will support Paul's great indie comics and follow him on instagram. Thanks so much Paul for letting us read and talk about this comic!! https://www.instagram.com/pkortjohncomix/   Thanks for listening! We're back next week!

Costanza! That's the subject of this artist's project, a daily drawing on Instagram of George Costanza from Seinfeld, holding a bat. Andrew Sauer talks to us about how he got started, his motivations and his future ambitions to draw and write comics. We also talk about drawing the same thing over and over again every day, which I think a lot of comic artists can relate to as well. Overall this was a very interesting article. We also reviewed dehootz comics.    Find Daily George Costanza Sketch on Instagram!   Find dehootz on Instagram!

DeHootz (@dehootz) creates a comic that is on Instagram called DeHootz. It is about owls. We really enjoyed talking to the creator of DeHootz (Carter), and about how he comes up with his ideas and also how he developed his artistic style.    Find him on Instagram. @dehootz
