Description
ComicLab co-hosts Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar welcome special guest Jake Parker — creator of Inktober and stand-out cartoonist/children's book illustrator — to talk shop. They discuss their deepest, darkest fears for their careers. And then they tackle how to recover from the completion of a monumental project. Jake shares his experiences from a recent Kickstarter, and they discuss the pros and cons of taking a creator-owned title to a publisher. But before any of that can happen, Jake has to explain what the heck a "Chicken Walker" is. If you guessed that it was related to a Skywalker, well... you're actually not far off! If you like ComicLab, consider becoming a Patreon backer, where you'll get member-exclusive Pro Tip episodes and more!

Motivation, underperforming Patreon tiers, and trying something new: We recorded Drunk ComicLab Saturday, and boy are our livers tired. Brad and Dave talk about the fun they had recording this upcoming Patreon-exclusive show. Then a listener asks: "How to you stay motivated to comics year after year?" The guys go on to discuss the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, handling an underperforming Patreon tier, working on a new comic at the same time you're working on an existing one, and the mixed blessing that a cartoonist's flexible schedule can sometimes be. by Comic Lab
