We chat about his long journey that led him to comics, his newest self-published work titled That Ol' English, his experience working with Hyperallergic, and his love for teaching.

S1 Ep 61Episode 61 - Train Talk with Blake Sims

E

Clear the tracks because the Gutter Boys train is leaving the station! The boys are back with another interview from the Hocking Hills Cartoonist Retreat and this time it's none other than long time friend of the show Blake "The Uncle King" Sims. Based out of Bowling Green, Kentucky, Blake is a true comics soldier who's been cranking out pages since high school and doesn't show signs of letting up any time soon. His last book, Logor, was one of our top picks from last year and his upcoming book, Sicko Hunter, is shaping up to be another contender for 2021. We talk about his long love for comics, his early influences, and what he's hoping to accomplish in the near future. We also sprinkled in some wrestling talk because of course Blake is also a wrestling fan and it would've been disingenuous to not bring it up. If you want to check out more of Blake's work or stay updated on what he's up to, give him a follow on Twitter and Instagram @blakersims. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

S1 Ep 58Episode 58 - Barely Legal with Nate Garcia

E

You have a collect call from Ligma, do you accept? Of course you do, because it's time for another episode of GUTTER BOYS. The boys are joined by a literal boy, Philly-based cartoonist Nate Garcia, to talk about how he can't even legally buy a beer yet but has still made more comics than most of you scrubs. His self-published body of work includes three issues of his one-person anthology Hornrim and his newest book Alanzo Sneek, available now directly from his webstore. Nate is a great dude and someone we've been meaning to have on the show for a while now, so it's nice to finally have him on instead of just reading his DM's asking us what we had for breakfast again. You can follow him on Instagram @nategarciascartoons. If you want to support his work and free him from his current slumlord, donate to his Patreon and tell him we sent you. Questions? Comments?

Back at it with another heaping of GUTTER BOYS! We're joined by our special guest, Sam Szabo. Sam is a Chicago-based cartoonist and master of yuck-yucks. She's created a large body of work exploring her life and experiences through her auto-bio comics, discussing relationships, nostalgia, and her transition as a woman. We go through it all, from her early years in college, her origin story of how she became a cartoonist dedicated to a life of making comics, and her love for The Tick. We also shout out a few creators that have sent us their work over the last few weeks and take a quick dip into the murky waters of NFT. You can check out Sam's work on Instagram @brainboogerindustries. Her recent comic strip, Death & Taxonomy, is available to read online at awrycomics.com, and you can also support her work on Patreon or purchase her comics at Big Cartel. Questions? Comments?
