Catching Up Part One

A quick clip to tease the return of the Surviving Creativity Podcast

Surviving Creativity Returns Tease

Somebody started a hashtag on "the Twitters" because even after ten years of blockbuster Marvel &amp; DC movies, nobody realized that all those characters were based on comic books! Yeah, that's totally what we're talking about. Show Notes: -Brad stirs the pot, then runs away. -Scott yells at Cory and doesn't apologize. -Cory doesn't care because Scott's a dumb-dumb and Cory writes all the show notes so gets the last word in anyway... suck it Kurtz.

This week Brad, Cory, and Scott are joined by special guest and cartoonist extraordinaire Dylan Meconis (Family Man, Bite Me). Together we review the Penn &amp; Teller documentary Tim's Vermeer and ask ourselves the essential questions of art: what defines it, who's cheating, and in what year did Dutch traders begin importing and selling coffee to the masses.

We floated the idea of not attending cons which immediately flooded our feed with questions about attending cons... because, of course it did. So we're diving deep into conventioneering from pre-show orders, to your post show P&amp;L. Plus, a whole a slew of con stories and some good networking &amp; etiquette advice for creators and attendees.

Nothing quite like a self-congratulatory press release in the ol' inbox to help us pick a topic for the show. This week Sony Pictures announced their plans to develop new projects based on the intellectual property of creators exhibiting at Wizard World conventions... yeah, we don't get it either.

Off the cuff conversation this week about reporting gone awry, conventions, the relative attractiveness of seventy year old women, and which bond men we'd kiss. All and all, it's a pretty solid week for Surviving Creativity.

When Reporting Goes Bad

The guys are getting grumpy and showing their age! This week on the show: the FCC gets some suggestions from the Obama Administration on where they can stick their net neutrality, Social Media gets a scolding, and we discuss the dangers of believing what you read. Seriously, we might as well have canes and be sitting in rocking chairs on a porch, drinking lemonade and yelling at the neighborhood kids... actually that doesn't sound so bad!

ComiXology &amp; Net Neutrality? OH MY! It's been a big couple of weeks in the new media world.

Who will save us!? Don't worry, the Surviving Creativity gang is here to save the day... or at least talk about it for the hour and a half.

Be a fly on the wall in Toonhound Studios this week as we record the room! We talk about Elonis vs US, a supreme court case about online harassment. That leads right into a convo about gender and race equality in comics and gaming which, of course, leads to the most controversial topic of all... Star Wars.
