Our guest this week is cartoonist and author Mike Cope. Mike is a prolific Canadian artist and multimedia tech-wizard who has just written a short science fiction novel about the cartooning industry in the near future. We talk to him about his life, career, and the book. It's called Last of the Funnies and it's absolutely brilliant and thought-provoking and we urge everyone who has a love of this artform to order it, read it, and treasure it. You won't be sorry. Click the link here , and drop the pen in the inkwell. The book is available through Amazon.com and Lulu.
Flip through Mike's portfolio and look at what he's done, his work is absolutely beautiful.

Hmm ... FOUR years early?

In all honesty, I can't help but feel that the book's release date had an unfortunately coincidental bit of bad timing ... It was (and is still) supposed to be a fun little science fiction, so I hope people realize this.
After all, it's about the funnies
