The Terrible Anvil - Keep it to Yourself!

Hi! Welcome back to The Terrible Anvil! Tom Hart and Jess Ruliffson love to talk about making comic-making EASIER, and in this episode, we’re saying Keep it to Yourself! (Or not :)

In this episode, Tom and Jess talk about the things we should -and shouldn’t- keep to ourselves. Is it ok to make work in private? Is it ok to say and draw weird things? Is it ok to need to have someone draw it out of us? Is it ok to make something unmarketable?

Tom and Jess make a connection with Henry Darger, but also butts and swear words and socially inappropriate thoughts...

Is it ok to bring “nothing of value to the table” except everything we have inside?

And finally we read Nancy’s story from the chat about a kid who only wanted to fix broken staplers and is now a happy doctor in Cleveland. Go kid!

What do you keep inside?

Thanks for being here!
