Fumigating the Cave
A radio chat show on the short-lived Elara.fm. You can find the first two episodes on its archive site and the final two on my very own site. However you slice it, just go on and check the links.
Robert Crumb biographer Dan Nadel checks in with his subject on matters of the subconscious, COVID paranoia, not drawing comics, the sad demise of friend Marty Pahls, and alienating the public with the Cheap Suit Serenaders. Edited by Ronald Bronstein.
These two great Jewish artists grew up just minutes from each other on Long Island but have never met. Here they bemoan their respective upbringings, schooling Dan on shoes, nose jobs, Florida yentas, interfaith marriage, and the Jewish parochial straight jacket. Edited by Ronald Bronstein.
Episode 3: Christopher Forgues and Dash Shaw talk about Yoshiharu Tsuge
After decades of refusal, transcendently, brutally revealing Japanese cartoonist Yoshiharu Tsuge has just allowed two books to be translated into English. Dan talks to cartoonists Christopher (CF) Forgues and Dash Shaw about autobiography, history, futility, non-entertainment, and craft in Tsuge’s work. Edited by Lucas Adams.
Johnny Ryan’s COVID-related drawings, posted with alarming frequency, have helped keep Dan sane these last few months. Now Johnny, whose 736-page masterpiece, Prison Pit: The Complete Collection, drops in August, reveals all about squirrel copulation, ultra-violence, and Mountain Dew. Just what you need!
