Lisa, part due: the Wrath of Crayons

Couldn’t wait for part two with illustrator/author Lisa Desimini? Now you don’t have to.

Lisa, Mike, and David continue their conversation with some rainy weather, 64 (or 64,000?) crayons, and a culinarily interesting conversation about marshmallows. It’s yummy.

We discuss The Fleatastics, Lisa’s “second funny book”, how she came up with the idea, and how she discovered that she’s funny: her editor told her she’s hilarious.

Speaking of origin stories, Mike tells us how we came talk with our first author guest Dan “The Man” Gut “The” Man and many of his friends. And one of their friends, i.e., a.k.a., etc., Lisa.

In part one, we discussed My Beautiful Child, She Sang Promise, in this episode we talk about Fleatasticks and Fire Pups and o’er stuffs.
