Making Good: Small Steps 192-195

INTERVIEWS!
First I published a new Making Good column today over at ScrypticStudios.com, in which I interview comics writer Vito Delsante. Here’s a quick excerpt:

Parable Anthology

A collection of modern parables from some of the world’s best independent animators, web artists and comic creators.
