I love both of these guys\u2019 work, but I admit that I\u2019m surprised by how popular this one is. Both Ivan and Mike have pretty devoted fan-bases, plus Ivan\u2019s 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\u2019s near the top of the monthly ranks for non-debut episodes.<\/p>\n
