Episode 8 - The Long and Short of It, with Sammy Harkham
Description
It's Sammy Harkham Day at the Miami Review of Comics!
In this marathon episode, Sammy and I dive deep into long form vs. short form comic-making -- epic graphic novels, standalone one-pagers, and everything in between.
We talk Kramers Ergot, Blood of the Virgin, and the past and future of Crickets! Will the next issue of Crickets be 48 one-pagers?! Listen to find out!
A few apologies:
First, despite my note early in the episode that we would be switching up the intro music, we have not, in fact, found or created a replacement track, so, despite Roman Muradov's best efforts to the contrary, we are all stuck with this "wholesome jingle" redolent of a "millennial retirement home" for at least one more month. It seems my millennial laziness has conquered my millennial fear of not pleasing all the people all the time (not to mention, of being twee). C'est la guerre!
I also royally fucked up my recounting of Steven Weissman's Obama gag. Obama does not say "Charlie Brown is Jewish"; he says "Charlie Brown is a Jew." Which makes all the difference in the world, of course. So much for being lodged in my mind!
OK, enough self-flagellation.
Thank you, Sammy, thank you, Jason!
Enjoy!
