    HTP #193 - Kailee Rosen Returns... at Fan Expo Chicago!
    Aug 23 2024
    Kailee Rosen joins me at Fan Expo Chicago for this live recording. We pick up right where we left off, following her appearance in Episode #183, and this time we are discussing her work in tarot cards, and using that as an allegory for how art affects us all differently. The two of us try to break down the barriers between digital and traditional art, as well as the classic frustration of just trying to get something started. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky, Twitter, or Instagram - @AaronBossig

    HTP #192 - Bat Boughner III
    Aug 14 2024
    Bat Boughner III is the grandson of Golden Age Comic Book artist Howard Boughner. Howard Boughner was the talent behind such creations as Mac, Peter and Polly in Toyland, Hold Everything as well as Penny and Dolly Dripple. In addition, he was the author of the how-to guides ‘Cartooning Jobs for Beginning Cartoonists’ and ‘Dictionary of things to Draw,’ both of which were influential for generations of future illustrators. Bat has a unique and very personal appreciation for Howard’s talents, and he’s graciously offered to share them on this episode of Hungry Trilobyte. Bat and I discuss Howard’s place in comic history, the mini strips in Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel issues, his notable humility, and what he might think of today’s comic industry and fandom. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky, Twitter, Hive, or Instagram - @AaronBossig

    HTP #191 - The Perfect Dark Girl
    Jun 28 2024
    Foslerfer, who has made a splash on YouTube as The Perfect Dark Girl, is doing a deep-dive into the Perfect Dark video game series. Currently a trilogy with games on the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Xbox 360, a new installment is on the horizon. In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Foslerfer and I talk about the impact of Perfect Dark, its status relative to more mainstream shooters, and the exploration of other media like comics and merch. She and I also spend time commiserating on what it’s like to be the big fan of an offbeat story. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky, Twitter, Hive, or Instagram - @AaronBossig

    Allison Rentz is an LPC and the author of the new book Among the Wildflowers. Allison's book is a guided journal walking the reader through different ways to explore mental health and begin a look into their own lives. In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Allison and I talk about what it means to be a Wildflower, when it's a good thing, and when it's not. We also spend a little time playing with my pet theory on how Star Trek: Picard discusses generational trauma. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky, Twitter, Hive, or Instagram - @AaronBossig

    May 24 2024
    Justin Coke is the creator of a new fantasy parody comic titled ‘SWAT – Secret Wizard Assault Team.’ While a bit of a spoof on the Harry Potter universe, Coke’s work carries some fairly serious themes through his characters, while building on themes of friendship and camaraderie. In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, Justin and I talk about the challenges of promoting a new comic concept, partnering with his artist Rachel Distler, and how sharing a duty can bring people together in fantasy and in the real world. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on BlueSky, Twitter, Hive, or Instagram - @AaronBossig
