Dan Clowes - Season 3, Episode 1


a panel from Dan Clowes' Wilson
(published by Drawn & Quarterly)

Oh wow, have we been away for a long time! Rina went on a "tour" for her book, and Thien... well, Thien changed his voice. For this season premiere, we dared to dream big, and our dream actually came true: Mr. Dan Clowes sits down to chat with us on topics ranging from Pogs to coffee shop blind dates. The experience was so mind-numbing, it induced Thien to asthmatic coughing fits. We also kick off Season 3 with yet another Ignatz awards rant and desperate plea to SPX voters by Thien, and reunite with now-veteran New Comics newsie, Ignatz-nominated Josh Frankel. This is one episode to remember so we hope you enjoy it!


("Errata Stigmata" Alert: In this episode, Rina incorrectly says that the last Comix Claptrap episode was with Dylan Horrocks. However the last episode was with James Sturm. Though James probably forgot that too. Also, the name of the comic that Rina forgets during the New Comics Reporting segment is called Birchfield Close by Jon McNaught... beautifully printed... You can get it at Nobrow Press. )

more errata stigmata: Vanessa Davis's D&Q book does not contain the strips from the Buenaventura Press Spaniel Rage book. It has other old Spaniel Rage strips but I was confused about which were there. SORROW!

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.

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.
