Podcasts: 'Competitive Literature' & 'Everyone's a Critic'

Listen to this episode from Competitive Literature on Spotify. Writer of comedy, comics, children's novels and more Daniel Kibblesmith joins Grace and Julie to talk about John Gardner's Beowulf-inspired novel Grendel. But who did a better job of reading the book and is therefore an objectively smarter, more important person?

I went on the Competitive Literature podcast with Julie Greiner & Grace Freud to talk about one of my favorite books, Grendel, and obviously it spiraled into an explicit deconstruction of Big Bird. I assume they left that part in.

Then I went on Yiannis Cove’s Everyone’s A Critic to talk about how it’s humanly possible that Roadhouse only has 39% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Jennifer accidentally buys me a bagel and also desperately wants to talk about Roadhouse. I assume they also left that part in.

Hourly Comic Day 2021

Hi, all.

February 1st, 2021 was annual HOURLY COMIC DAY, and I’ve always wanted to participate — and this year, we also had a book to promote — so I did. First on Post-its®, then on a tablet I’ve been trying to get the hang of, and then back on Post-its®.

Cameos from Jennifer Wright, Zoom co-workers, and TV’s Lupin.

Princess Dinosaur illustrator, Ashley Quach, also (brilliantly, adorably) did her hourly comics as Princess Dinosaur — thread here.

Pick up Princess Dinosaur here or from a local bookstore near you — and find everything Ashley draws as Sassquach.com
