\"\"<\/a>Writer Jonathan Baylis<\/a> joins the show (in person!) to celebrate the latest issue of his autobio comics series, So Buttons<\/a> (Tinto Press\/Alchemy Comix). We talk about how he found a home in the Pekar mode, writing scripts for cartoonists to draw, and how he went all-Harvey for a strip with Noah Van Sciver<\/a>. We get into his comics upbringing and his work experiences at a variety of comic companies, how his time at NYU film school informed his storytelling style, the artists he’s hoping to work with, and how his body of work has revealed meta-themes about his stories. We also discuss being a subject in his wife’s monologues (she’s comedian Ophira Eisenberg<\/a>), our reminiscences of Tom Spurgeon<\/a>, working with his cartooning idols, our weirdest Tarantino-moments, and more! Give it a listen!<\/a> And go read the latest So Buttons<\/a>!<\/p>\n
