Welcome to Creative Block! This week's guest is DAVE CATMAN! DAVE is a cartoonist, visual development artist, writer, animator, and is the creator of the comics Live With Yourself!, Mercworks, and Hop Dude!

Along the way, we chat about the SERIES OF EVENTS THAT LEAD TO CREATING MERCWORKS, RUNNING FOR MAYOR, CREATING FOR WEBTOONS, and so much more!

While we talk, we doodle on a Google Jamboard, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, and PATREON. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
