Logo by Neil Scott.

The new episode of the Treehouse Comics Podcast is now online.
Have a listen here.

From the website:
"Hello! Neil Scott and David Robertson return to discuss the second day of the Lakes 2017 Comic Art Festival.  Highlights include a dramatic face to face meeting between David and his hero, being dumbfounded by Stan Sakai, and David's breakfast.
The second half of the podcast features There's Only One Aragones, a talk about the life and career of cartooning great Sergio Aragones.  Some sections have been cut due to the noisy background volume on the videos, but there were some very heartfelt message for Sergio from his cartooning peers at MAD magazine.
Enjoy!"

DOCTOR WHO IN COMICS: 50 YEARS IN 50 MINUTES!

Ex Doctor Who Magazine editor John Freeman did what looks like an excellent talk on Doctor Who comics at The Lakes Comic Art Festival. I'm very pleased that he used a quote from me. Thanks, John!
