Strip Search Podcast, Episode 8 - Mark Parisi encore

Mark Parisi's latest "Marty Pants" book, "Keep Your Paws Off!," is in stores now.

You've heard what they say about the best laid schemes of mice and men. (That's right, they gang aft agley.) We had planned to deliver you a new podcast this month, but an unexpected stomach bug -- is there another kind? -- put the kibosh on that last Friday.

So rather than presenting you all the noises that went along with that, we instead plan to do two -- count 'em! -- podcasts in July, and this month present you instead with an encore presentation of one of our best episodes: our December 2017 sit down with cartoonist Mark Parisi of Off The Mark and Marty Pants fame.

Since that interview, Mark has seen the publication of his latest Marty Pants book, "Keep Your Paws Off!" And we've learned a thing or two more about audio editing, which means you might find this version of our interview more pleasant to listen to than the first time around, without quite as many snaps, crackles and pops.

Enjoy! We'll see you in July, and in the meantime, don't forget to check out the latest edition of Comic Strip Cartoonist magazine.

Mark Parisi visited the Strip Search podcast studios last December.

Strip Search, Episode 45 — Pat Sandy & Ruben Congratulations

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
