    Jan 1 2026

    Ring in the new year with Comic Sans by… opening Instagram?! At the stroke of midnight, Yan slides into Nat's DMs to share the poetry comics of Jordan Bolton (IG: @jordanboltondesign). Still a little bubbly from all the champagne, our hosts discuss photo dumps and page turns, carousels and caesuras, and the many ways that comics connect us across time and space.

  • A Quick Discussion of "McNab" by Adele Pound | Aftershow Preview

    A Quick Discussion of "McNab" by Adele Pound | Aftershow Preview
    Dec 25 2025

    In this audio preview of our Patreon-exclusive aftershow, Nat leads a quickfire discussion on "McNab" by Adele Pound, one of the six other comics we bought from LDComics Online Fair, but which didn't make the main episode.

    Aside from quickfire reviews, Yan and Nat also recorded themselves doing their online comic shopping and talking through their trains of thought. Unlike the physical artist alley, digital comic fairs are a relatively new channel of commerce, and this episode offers a fascinating view into how potential buyers browse and make selections.

    So whether you're a comic artist who participates in these fairs, or a fair organizer yourself, we think you'll take away something valuable from this episode.

    S04E06: LDComics Online Fair — Farm to Table
    Dec 18 2025

    Yan and Nat take a stroll down the virtual artists' alley at the LDComics Online Fair! Armed with a whopping £17 each, they fill up their shopping carts with comics that catch their fancy, and discuss two of them on air: "So That's THAT Story: Conversations with Mom" by Tenli Yavneh, and "The Last Letter" by Kai Dylan.

    The inaugural LDComics Online Fair ran from July 1 to 31, 2025.

    But wait! The conversation continues on the Comic Sans Aftershow, where Yan and Nat discuss the rest of their shopping hauls, with quickfire reviews of the six other comics they bought in preparation for this episode. Become a Friend of Comic Sans today!
