 Comics Coast to Coast and Tall Tale Radio combine forces, because only with our mighty podcasting powers in tandem can we handle the magnitude of guest today Mr. John Glynn of Universal Press Syndicate. John is here to talk about the Comic Strip Superstar contest over on Amazon thats touched a nerve in the comics world. We ask him some of the questions that have come up over at the Daily Cartoonist, and discuss the nature of syndication itself. John is candid and funny, and has some great things to say, so listen up if youre interested in the contest or syndication itself. There are tips and ideas a plenty here! Huge thanks to John Glynn for coming on the show and entertaining us goons. Love goes out to Tom Racine for his awesomeness (check out Tall Tale Radio "it's the bee's knees baby.") Thanks to Justin Thompson of Mythtickle who is like my brother from another coast. We missed John Sanford this week. Check out his comic over at Chippy and Loopus. Thanks to Sebastiaan for the mashup. Check out Brian's new comic A Guy In A Bush. and I guess as long as we are at it...we might as well thank Stephan Pastis of Pearls Before Swine for not suing us over all the nasty remarks we make about him on the show. |

A point you all brought up that I found really helpful was reminding the comic artists to keep the editor and sales people in mind as they draw their comics. I think it is easy for comic artists and writers to get caught up in their own work and forget that their material has to be relatable for a vast group of people – not jus...

I'm guilty of that, too, Katherine, and it's really something to watch out for. There are a ton of amazing women cartoonists and artists out there. I'll only defend myself in that I have pretty much always used "you guys" as reference to everyone...and I have a wife and two girls! But, you're right, and we should make that effort. Best of luck on the contest, too!

|140.225.148.xxx |2009-09-14 17:49:53 KatherineI agree that people aren’t trying to be sexist, and I’m sure that you, Tom, are not sexist (I think it becomes impossible to be sexist after marriage, unless you want your marriage to end in murder). Just the words we use can rub listeners the right or wrong way, and I could see using more unisex language on the show only boosting its popularity – especially among the ladies. And who doesn’t want that?
