With Richard Starkings. For the second episode recorded during the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, David and Ian are joined by Richard Starkings, creator and writer of Elephantmen and pioneer of digital lettering. Richard has had extensive experience in the comics field and talks with Ian and Dave about his career. They also talk about British comics, Eddie Izzard, the language of comics and pop culture, the evil that is Comic Sans and the vital importance of proper kerning.
