Strip Search, Episode 33

Strip Search, Episode 33 — Crowden Satz

Crowden Satz is one of the funniest and most prolific single-panel gag cartoonists in the biz, and now the New Hampshire-by-way-of-California transplant is telling us the tricks of the trade on the latest Strip Search comic strip podcast.

As usual the podcast is available below in both audio and video versions, but this time we highly recommend the video option — to see our pretty faces, of course, but also because Crow (as his friends refer to him) was nice enough to provide multiple samples of his work while discussing his process and his progression during his cartooning career. (If audio is your bag, though, never fear: You'll see a bunch of those selfsame panels posted below.)

Interested in learning more? Check out Crowden Satz on his website, at CartoonStock, at his Patreon page, on Facebook, or, if it's merch you're looking for, on Zazzle or Redbubble.

Also in this month's episode: We offer our take on the newly syndicated comic strip "Crabgrass"; stump for "Thor: Love and Thunder" (like it needs our help); and also hatch a plot to pull a Kate Bush with our 1980s comic strip, "Swidey."

Introducing Strip Search, the cartooning podcast

Hello all! Welcome to Strip Search, a new podcast where we'll be interviewing cartooning professionals and talk comic strips: their history, classic comics, the current state of the industry, and comics to watch out for. If you're a cartoonist or humorous illustrator and want to appear on the podcast with Dave and Pete, email us at petpeevescomic@gmail.com .

Strip Search, Episode 47 — Jonathan Todd, author of "Timid"

Trigger warning: If you would rather not remember what middle school was like, you may not want to read “Timid,” the new middle-grade graphic novel by local cartoonist and illustrator Jonathan Todd, coming April 2 from Scholastic . But if you happen to be in middle school right now, or know someone who is, it’s unlikely you’ll find a better depiction of just how fraught and awkward those years can be. We find out how Jonathan did it when he appears on the latest Strip Search podcast! (For more on Jonathan and "Timid," check out his website here .) Also, we discuss the latest collateral damage from Gannett's comics page "consolidation" — specifically, female cartoonists — and give an update on "Nerd Dad!" the Pet Peeves collection coming later in 2024. Watch or listen (and check out some highlights from "Timid") below, and if you're in the Boston area, here are some places where you can catch Mr. Todd in person: Book release and talk , Bel

Strip Search, Episode 41 — Jimmy Craig

When most comic strip animals talk, they don’t exactly scream “realism.” It was hard to imagine that Garfield was speaking for most cats when he declared his hatred of Mondays or his love for lasagna. But the animals that populate “They Can Talk,” the wry, brilliant weekly webtoon by cartoonist Jimmy Craig, don’t just sound authoritative — they’re downright relatable. And fans of both comics and animals are clearly listening to what Craig’s creatures have to say. In the seven years since he launched the strip, it’s amassed 615,000 followers on Instagram, 658,000 on Facebook, and has spawned two books; the latest, “Are You Gonna Eat That?” from Ulysses Press , hits shelves this month. Listen or watch below as we catch up with Craig to talk about talking to the animals, and them talking back. You'll find samples of his work at the bottom of this post, and for more you can visit Jimmy's website, theycantalk.com , or his Facebook and Instagram feeds. (Plus, for his standalone New
