New a guy in his room #168!

This time I talk to @plasterharris who was gracious enough to talk to a non-millionaire Youtuber like myself, about comicsgare which I've been following since 2020, and have been super fascinated with bc I love the whole idea of the movement and how free it is, and how it's directly to the fans, etc. Narwhal seems like the 'critics favorite' of CG, and despite the fact that I haven't even read his comics yet, he just seems like such an insightful guy and creative artist that I really wanted to talk to him. Can't wait to check out his work and definitely check it out yourself and support Earthbound Grand Prix!!!
