Pint O' Comics Episode 315 w/ Dave Baker

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 18:30:00 GMT

MARY TYLER MOOREHAWK is the latest work from cartoonist Dave Baker, a wild adventure tale spanning decades, breaking boundaries of style, design, and genres. It's partly graphic novel, partly prose, partly fictionalized history, and it's all a worthy endeavour. Listen to Dave and I discuss the work, the process, and the inspirations behind it. Available on February 14th from Top Shelf, it's a 300 page monster of a book that is well worth the time spent to delve into. Highest recommendation.

It's called EINSTEIN and this show focuses on it in a jammed full hour of science, comic books, and fun.
