Why Comics?: Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar talk about what brought them to cartooning — and more importantly, why have they stuck with it for 20 years. It's a deceptively important question to ask yourself as a creator. And Dave and Brad dig deep into the reasons they do comics as opposed to another creative pursuit. by Comic Lab
