S2E4 - Michael Penick - Comic Book Artist and Writer

Don't call it a BONUS EPISODE...but it is sort of that. This episode was recorded right before we took a break...in fact, there's a moment in this episode that Michael warns Keegan that he will be a zombie for 6 months, and that is exactly what happened and why we took a break. So...we never had time to upload this FANTASTIC interview with comic book creator Michael Penick (@penickart) but the time is now!

Michael Penick has just completed a successful Kickstarter for his comic "Recovery Incorporated" and is currently working on issue 2. We really enjoyed talking to Michael about his process and comics and we know you'll enjoy this episode. Also sorry for the weird references to humor and things that were happening in February.
