2018: What worked and what didn't
Category: Arts
Duration: 01:01:32

Description:

Webcomics pros Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar look back over another year in webcomics and discuss what worked really well — and what didn't.

BUT FIRST, Dave marvels over the British idiom, "hard cheese," and that leads to a discussion of British humor in general.
