Our podcast countdown continues! The 6th most downloaded episode from 2013 was my conversation with legendary cartoonist Pete Bagge!<\/p>\n

#6 – The Least Insane of Cartoonists<\/a><\/strong> –\u00a0Peter Bagge<\/a>, cartoonist\/creator of\u00a0Hate!<\/em>\u00a0joins us to talk about his new book,\u00a0Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story<\/a>\"\".\u00a0We have a great conversation about why he chose to write about the founder of Planned Parenthood, how he made the shift from fiction to nonfiction comics, who his favorite “pre-feminist feminists” are, why he stuck with comic books over paperback books for too long, what the strangest sketchbook request he ever received is, and why R. Crumb considered him the least insane of cartoonists. (10\/15\/13) – mp3<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You want some behind-the-scenes stuff? Well, Pete & I recorded our talk at the Small Press Expo<\/a> in Bethesda, MD in September. And before we started recording, Also, I gave him a copy of\u00a0The Leopard<\/a>\"\" as a guest-gift (I try to do that for all the guests). I mentioned Visconti\u2019s film version of it, which starred Burt Lancaster, and Bagge told me that Lancaster stars in his favorite movie, along with Tony Curtis: Sweet Smell of Success<\/a>\"\". I\u2019d never seen it before, so I grabbed it on Netflix and WOW is it an amazing flick.<\/p>\n

Now go listen to our #6 most downloaded episode from 2013!<\/a>\u00a0(and go watch Sweet Smell of Success <\/em>sometime!)<\/p>\n
