Drawing a single panel comic about a turtle (Charley) when he was 9, JT knew he wanted to be a cartoonist. That didn’t work out.

Later a short stint in High school as a DJ for its low wattage radio station and on stage in the schools Plays and Musicals gave him a taste for show-bid-ness (that didn’t work out either)

So, when in 2005, (deep breath) after dropping out of college, joining the US Navy (5 years on the USS Spruance DD 963), marring a great girl, finding the Internet, having 2 Awesome kids, Finding webcomics, leaving the Navy, trying that cartooning thing again with Gecko Nation, and founding NightGig Studios (With Ken Prince) to help other Web Cartoonists, (breath) podcasting was born, he decided he wanted to be heard again and created… (wait for it) … The Gigcast.

So please drop by Comic Dish, or The Dish episode archive to give it a listen!

We have a special guest with us tonight..you’ll have to listen in to find out who!(ps, this person has never been on the dish before!!)

Webcomic Convention to be held in Second life…
wheeeee!

Wowio and Platinum seal the deal.

The order of the stick is releasing another compilation.

Filk performer Tom Smith was hospitalized recently. There is a fundraiser going on to help him out while he’s out of work.

Nintendo says that they are no longer targeting their core gamer audience through the E3.

COMIC REVIEW:
None this week

DISCUSSION:
I’ll be totally honest, the dish really geeked out this week.  Instead of discussing webcomics, we were naughty and talked about the video game industry both past and present.

Also, under news, I covered our newest member and the CCP.
