#2 – Mike and Ivan’s Comics Cabaret – It’s a comics double-episode! Eisner Award-winner Michael Kupperman of Tales Designed to Thrizzle
joins us to talk about his Mark Twain fetish, why he decided to make a 20-page comic combining “Quincy” and “Inception”, and how the UCB taught him how to perform his comics. Then cartoonist and professor Ivan Brunetti talks about his new book, Aesthetics: A Memoir
, what he learned from drawing Nancy strips, how he found himself teaching cartooning, and how he set the (low) bar for self-loathing comics in the ’90s. (6/25/13) – mp3

I love both of these guys’ work, but I admit that I’m surprised by how popular this one is. Both Ivan and Mike have pretty devoted fan-bases, plus Ivan’s got cartooning students who are probably interested in what he has to say in a non-classroom-setting. Still, I always marvel when this one’s near the top of the monthly ranks for non-debut episodes.
