163 - COMICS COMEDY UNBOXED! (W / TODD OLIVER)

This week the ACP takes another stab at talking about humour in comics, but this time they are going to the darker and more surreal side of comedy comics and have enlisted the brilliant Todd Oliver (Boxes, Smedley) to take on the subject of what makes us laugh. Theres discussion of all kinds, from someone who put their face in the post to worm people, posting strip comics on Reddit and Instagram, the task of writing and drawing and more!

Great stuff to check out this week: Todd Oliver, Boxes, Smedley, Jonny Ryan, Angry Youth Comics, Jimmy Corrigan, James Kochalka, Pipedream Comics, The Pull List, Lilith Dark, Bruce, Vague Tales, Fantagrpahics, Secret Santa

106 - DISABILITY IN COMICS! (W / ANDY W. CLIFT)

This week the gang are joined by returning guest Andy W.Clift (Bertie Bear, Sgt Steel) to talk about a subject that doesnt get discussed as much as it should - disability in comic books. Together, they talk about the roles that disability plays in comics, characters who have been done well/not so well and highlight some independent examples of disabled characters. Its a thought provoking and positive discussion about what can be done in the future with the subject and the opportunities there are for better representation across the board. Theres also brilliant independent books that get recommended, Dan reveals who he was a body double for, the truth behind 'the Green Room' is revealed and theres plenty of ACP giggles to be had!

Great stuff to check out this week: Andy W.Clift, Bertie Bear, Sgt Steel, Samurai Slasher, Briggs Land,Pull List, Pipedream Comics, Wine and Zine, Swap, Soldier Zero, Department of Ability, Ed Traquino
