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."

Strip Search, Episode 45 — Pat Sandy & Ruben Congratulations

It's ironic: We'd never want the Deweys as our next door neighbors, but as for Pat Sandy — creator of the Deweys in the comic strip "Next Door Neighbors" — we could talk to him all day! Join in as Pat joins Dave and Pete discuss past "Peanuts," Pat's drawing style, and what went into his new collection " Block Party ." Also, we revisit past interviews with two 2023 Ruben Award winners , the New Yorker's Christopher Weyant, who took home the prize for Gag Cartoon, and Will Henry, whose "Wallace the Brave" took home the award for Newspaper Comic Strip! Watch or listen below, and check out more "Next Door Neighbors" at GoComics and on Facebook .

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
