Episode description

Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar answer a wide variety of questions submitted by Patreon backers, such as: Are gag comics sustainable on the Web? We'll ask Dave, who has been doing a gag comic for 20 years. Also... How can I use hashtags more effectively? How many updates do I need to build a readership? How can I keep up my energy at conventions?

And... Doctor, does this Winkerbean look Funky to you?

But first, Dave has moved into his new house, and his high-speed internet connection... isn't.
