Comic News Insider: Episode 1460 is now available for free download! Click on the link or follow on Spotify/subscribe on iTunes!

Jimmy did several interviews before Thought Bubble Festival that he had planned on doing there. This way, his interview schedule wouldn't be too busy at the show. He met up with his friend Rachael Smith in Manchester to interview and hang. A chill and always hilarious time at her home. We talked her recent NAP COMIX, adorable new baby Henry (the star of said comic), THE QUEEN'S FAVORITE WITCH, a possible space opera in the works (wait...WHAT?!!) and more! Thx to Rachael for having Jimmy stay over and the interview!

Jimmy also did a follow up with Arielle Jovellanos at Thought Bubble Festival. He had picked up her self-published comic JUST A SPELL at NYCC last month on the last day so didn't have a chance to read it before their interview there. (They talked about lots of other things so do go check that out). Now read, they talked about the original work, the world building, music involved and more.
