This episode: Kickliy!
We’re back to talk to Kickliy about his new Western graphic novel PERDY! You may know Kickliy from his series Musnet, or his work that was published under the name Sam Hiti. All of it is great, and we were excited to talk to him. We got into the reason for his name change, his time spent in France recuperating from a serious accident, and his triumphant return to comics. Lots of painting and drawing philosophy, working through blocks small and large, and how he ended up becoming an American cartoonist with a French Publisher. Behind the scenes process talk about making both PERDY & Musnet, including his thoughts on making all ages comics AND decidedly not all ages comics. This is a good one! PS: We’re going to be at SPX this weekend! Come see PROCESS PARTY LIVE with Josh Cotter on Sunday, and pick up Zack’s NEW BOOK, The Secret Voice Vol 1 at Tables L-12/L-13!!!

Fantastic interview! I greatly enjoyed listening to the process of artistic techniques to the understanding of the personal story behind the story was very captivating. First timer to the podcast and new super fan of Kickliy. I have all four Musnet and Perdy that I was able to purchase from him in person – super nice guy!
