We interview the great Paul Gilligan on this one. He's the creative talent who brings us the wonderful Pooch Cafe' each and every day. Paul discusses his process, his own pet situation, and his Pooch Cafe' animated movie deal with Sony.
Paul is Canadian (Hooraaaaay!) and he's just great to listen to. He's articulate, funny, and has the greatest li'l Canadian accent. So listen closely and you'll hear what that's all abewt.
Fair warning: Brian and I discuss politics at the end of the show. Now, before you all roll your eyes, we don't get in a big fight, like you might imagine. But we fairly discuss this insane race (keep in mind this was recorded a few weeks ago, just after Super Tuesday) and what we think is going to happen. Brian touts the greatnes of Bobby Kennedy and how Obama reminds him of Bobby. Of course I whole-heartedly agree. 
The web comic pick of the week is a real interesting one that comes to us via Comics Sherpa . It's called Dro-Mo and I just love it. It's funny, thought provoking, and there's no text so it's a fast read. This is exactly the kind of comic strp that the future comic audience will be gravitating toward. It caters to a short attention span, it works in any country in the world, it's clean, it's ideas are brilliant, and it's a great fit for a hand held device (like a cell phone or pda) which is where people are going to be getting their news more and more often as we go along in this century. I'd say, be on the lookout for more one panel strips like this. Dro-Mo is definitely ahead of the curve.

Here are some questions I would've loved to ask:
Did he hire a lawyer when he was getting syndicated with universal...who?
Does he have a lawyer(s) for the movie deal.
Does he send his strip to the syndicate via email or mail.
Does Paul look like Chazz.
Is Paul married/children...what do they think of his strip.
One of the funniest continuing storylines was the Camping Adventure...if they would eat each other to survive...Did he...

|208.51.37.xxx |2008-03-07 08:03:30 Tom RacineI would like to add here that I missed talking to Paul and I am bummed about that...I love "Pooch Cafe." It's really become a top 10 for me over the time I've been reading it. I also wanted to say that we have sometimes asked a "James Lipton" list of questions to our guests, including "what cartoon strip character would you most like to have sex with," and I would like to add Carmen from "Pooch Cafe" to my list, please.
Congrats Justin on getting paid for it! That is no small feat when you really think about it.
Enjoyed the end of the show. Brian, you sound like a fellow Libertarian.
