Dan Clowes' Eightball with Peter Bagge

 

One of the greatest living cartoonists, Peter Bagge (Hate, Yeah!, Weirdo) comes on the show this week to talk about an early run by another one of the greatest living cartoonists, Dan Clowes.  This is one of those episodes where I couldn't really believe that I got to have this conversation.  Listen in to learn how one all-time-great cartoonist's work inspired another all-time-great cartoonist.  Plus, some stuff about what it's like to teach college students these days.  And a really exciting update about Hate comics!!!
