Our episode this time is all about the creative process. We share a cozy conversation between two beloved Funny Times contributors, Dave Coverly and Hilary Price. You know Hilary from her long-running comic “Rhymes with Orange” and Dave from Speedbump Comics. Dave’s cartoons are staples on the pages of Funny Times and he’s even been our Guest Editor before, just for kicks. Fun Fact! Hilary was the youngest female cartoonist to ever achieve national syndication at the age of 25.
They both have a signature style that’s warm and familiar to lovers of the funny pages, and they’re a delight in conversation with each other. They became friends through meeting at the National Cartoonists Society’s annual Rueben Awards and conference. In this conversation they let us in on their creative process, cartooning as cultural shorthand, and the power of drawing.
After their chat, we share a reading from Funny Times contributor Jim Nolan, who shares his intense feelings on America’s favorite condiment. We close our episode with more funny and touching reader call-ins. We are so thrilled to hear from the many people who share a love of laughter with us – keep the calls coming!
