Cartoonist-playwright-filmmaker Dean Haspiel<\/a> rejoins the show for the homestretch of his new Kickstarter, ANTIMATTER<\/a> (finishing Nov. 3, 2025), and brings his studio mate Whitney Matheson<\/a> along to talk about her new story collection, THE FEELING<\/a>. We talk about how Dino got the idea for a one-man anthology to contain all the characters & stories of his Dino-verse, new models for funding creative projects, and how promotion can be tough when you accidentally get banned on Instagram<\/a>. They give me creative advice to help me get through my own book project, talk about their lessons from crowdfunding and self-publishing, and come up with a great idea for a new book, while we cope with some technical difficulties. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go support ANTIMATTER<\/a> and read THE FEELING<\/a>!<\/p>\n
