Salt & Honey #47: Widows and Creed II

Salt & Honey #46: Comics Roast #3

Sloane and Leslie talk about the work of Junji Ito, one of the most popular working horror manga artists. Spoilers for Tomie, Uzumaki, Hellstar Remina, Souichi, and several of his other short stories. His work deals with a lot of anxiety, existential dread, and the cruel, capricious nature of the world, while portraying the fragility of human nature. Also mentioned in this episode: Kazuo Umezu, Suehiro Maruo, Shintaro Kago, Shuzo Oshimi.

This week, Sloane and Leslie discuss what it means to be "successful." Obviously, it's can be a bit of a touchy subject for a lot of working artists, so we go on a couple of different tangents about what it really means to feel like you're doing something as a cartoonist or creative person.

in this episode, we go through and iron out the details of the story we came up together on the previous episode. Please go back and listen to that episode if you haven't already! We kind of address some issues that some people may come across when they don't know how or where to edit their ideas for comics.

This week, we experiment with coming up with a collaborative short story together. We try to pick apart and examine what we think is important in stories and characters and discuss our different ways of solving problems.

This is the recording from our live panel that took place at Thought Bubble UK. We're joined by Sarah Horrocks (Goro, Bacchae) to talk about audiences, audience engagement, and the way other work and artists influence our work. Our guest!
