I’m dying to know what David had on the television, during this interview. Once I saw the reflection, I couldn’t stop filling in the blanks. I’m going to go with “Punky Brewster”.
David is a legend in the original art community. I'm terribly jealous of his cache in being able to procure Mike Mignola art back in the day. 😁

Fantastic show....cheers Lois
A brilliant choice for an interview. Fascinating.
This went by so fast. Dave was a real treat to listen to. I think the Forrest movie he was referencing is Fern-gully.
Yes!
You don’t look hungover, Mark. Flattering lighting on this one!
Hella cool! Thanks for doing this. This was a great one
Love Curb Your Enthusiasm! But what did he do on Curb? 🤔
