Designing an effective cover

Cartoonists Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar are talking shop! Dave talks about his new Kickstarter for Sheldon!

We hear about need-to-know features when it comes to the cover design of your graphic novel. FOLLOWING this, Brad and Dave go into their thoughts about buying ads as a way to boost interest in your work.

BUT FIRST, the guys bust their guts over birds, squirrels, and Brad’s Honeymoon.
