The Comix Claptrap

FINALLY the Claptrap buddies have ensnared cartoonist T Edward Bak! We talk with him about his new book NOT A PLACE TO VISIT, his work on 18th century naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, how to condense libraries of info into the perfect set of lines on paper, and when to add a dash of autobio. Get the book from Floating World: https://floatingworldcomics.com/shop/... Bak's website: http://www.tedwardbak.com Bak's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/toddedwardbak

The Claptrap goes guestless to check on each other in these tough times. Comics we've been reading, comics we've been making, trying to stay sane in quarantine isolation, and more. Rina Ayuyang Instagram: @rinayay Thien Pham Instagram: @thiendog Josh Frankel Instagram: @jfhimself

The Claptrap crew chats with cartoonist Charles Forsman (THE END OF THE FXXXING WORLD, I AM NOT OK WITH THIS, REVENGER, AUTOMA) about comics process, collaboration, Netflix, Patreon, skateboarding, and more. NOTE: We recorded this interview on May 22, 2020. Since then, we have been rocked by disturbing events in our country which have reminded us how crucial it is to tell our stories and to make our voices heard in whatever way we can, including comics, arts and writing. The Comix Claptrap supports Black Lives Matters , the protests, and ending police violence. Charles Forsman's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chuck

Josh blabs about being inspired by publisher Oily Comics and the mini-comics they mailed to subscribers in 2013.
