“Drawing Funny” MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 1 & 2
Happy New Year! Two new “Drawing Funny” podcast episodes are now available, and they are the first episodes of 2025! Episode 71 – “MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 1” is the first part of my 2024 year end wrap-up review conversation with Mid-South Cartoonists Association/MSCA president Kevin L. Williams. Kev and I grabbed some dinner after work, and then discussed the very busy year our local cartooning association experienced in 2024. We had a full two and a half pages of notes to go over, so I broke it into two episodes and am releasing them back to back. You can find the second half of our 2hr toon talk on Episode 72 – “MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 2”. Continue reading
