What's a Spink‽ (with Interrobang Studios)

This week, we interview Sarah and Kevin from Interrobang Studios!

I couldn't pass up Kevin's awesome expression here.

I actually first found Interrobang and their awesome comics through Spinks! Spinks are hyper-cute, blobbity mutes that go around being derpy and adorable. However, they're only one of dozens of comics and projects and books and games that Interrobang produces. For example, there's I'm My Own Mascot (a semi-autobiographical comic) and the archived comics A Girl Named Bob and Punker Darren.

Trigger Star has been on hiatus as the perfect ending is concocted and drawn up. Kevin has been working on the comic since high school, and I can't wait to see how everything gets wrapped up in the end. To top it all off, Potluck Comics is where they throw all the awesome story lines that can't find a home in the other comics. So it is the home of It Sucks to Be Weegie, Ensign Sue Must Die, Heeere's Satan, and WatchBabies.

Even if you don't think you're familiar with Interrobang, I bet you've seen Kevin's fabulous critique of misogyny in film marketing:

Butts. Lol. (image from Kevin's DeviantArt)

Then, we got into a deeply geeky discussion about art — brushes, line weights, tech pens, kerning, lettering — all of it. (I busted out those em-dashes, that's how excited I get about a good illustration and typography discussion). For the non-artsy, I promise there's tons of other content, but it's so much fun when any artist is willing to talk you through their entire creative process. They also have the most adorable origin story bar none. There's nice guys and the girl from the comic shop and happy endings and even cats.

If you'd like to show them some support:

• Interrobang Studios' Website (links to the comics are already in the text above)
• Here's the RSS feed you'll need to keep up with all the comics.
• Check out their convention schedule if you want to get some con-only like badges and prints!
• Like them on Facebook.
• Follow on Twitter.
• Interrobang has a new full-color book, The Red One, and it's full of the one-of-a-kind and out-of-print art that you can't find anywhere else (here's the free preview).
• Their store has lots of other books as well.

Remember, web traffic helps too, even if you're not buying merch. Thanks again to Kevin and Sarah for a great podcast!
