Just listened to you on "Tell me Something I didn't Know" and just wanted to drop you a note about the Death Race 2020 comic. It's pretty nuts and has Kevin Oneil art in the era of Marshal Law so it's pretty crazy looking. It takes place after the movie and Frankenstein is now president and he and Annie ride around the country in a giant super vehicle and Annie's grandmother is with them in the form of a head connected to wires. I only found the first issue but it was pretty fun.

hey, thanks for listening. those comics are certifiably bonkers, it’s true— jim rugg kindly sent me a few issues in the mail. they are fascinating and i wonder who was buying them in 1995.

“The way she draws huge and expressive eyes is a particular draw, especially because they are never cute.”

I would love “NEVER CUTE” to be on the back (or front?) of the collected OM…

004: Katie Skelly

This is episode 4 of Boing Boing’s newest podcast, Tell Me Something I Don’t Know. It’s an interview podcast featuring artists, writers, filmmakers, and other creative people discussing their work, ideas, and the reality/business side of how they do what they do.

In this episode Jim, Jasen, and Ed interview Katie Skelly, a cartoonist who lives and works in New York City. She has been making mini-comics since 2003, and has contributed to several comic anthologies including the Garo-inspired Secret Prison #7 and Thickness #1.

In 2012, Sparkplug Comic Books published her first graphic novel, the Barbarella-esque, psychedelic sci-fi Nurse Nurse.

She is currently serializing her girl-biker gang graphic novel, Operation: Margarine, as silkscreen-covered, limited-edition mini-comics. Number 2 debuts at MoCCA 2013.

Learn more at her website and follow her on Twitter and Tumblr.

TMSIDK produced and hosted by three talented cartoonists and illustrators:

Jim Rugg, a Pittsburgh-based comic book artist, graphic designer, zinemaker, and writer best known for Afrodisiac, The Plain Janes, and Street Angel.

Jasen Lex is a designer and illustrator from Pittsburgh. He is currently working on a graphic novel called Washington Unbound. All of his art and comics can be found at jasenlex.com.

Ed Piskor is the cartoonist who drew the comic, Wizzywig, and draws the Brain Rot/ Hip Hop Family Tree comic strip at this very site, soon to be collected by Fantagraphics Books.

i’m in a drawing frenzy lately. i’m chalking it up to slightly longer days (believe me, that extra sliver of light at 6 a.m. makes a huge difference) and new pens. and of course, the desire to crank out the next issue of operation margarine. it is almost here!

i made a little drawing vine.

i also have some nice words on my book nurse nurse at broken frontier to show you.

MORE THINGS SOON.
