Episode 30 - Convention Conversation with Mr_Riot and carly_mizzou!
dankram at June 7, 2011, midnightJust in time for convention season, this episode is about the webcomic artists' perspective on cons. We've got two seasoned vets (and a contribution from ShadowsMyst) talking about why someone should set up shop, and how to prepare!
NOTE: This episode features one or two instances of "saucy" language. Additionally, due to a hiccup in the recording process, we had to rely on a backup recording of the Skype conversation for the published version. Apologies for the audio quality.
