We're getting into the holiday spirit by welcoming Rankin/Bass historian Rick Goldschmidt onto the show! Rick has a background in illustration and cartooning, with magazine illustrations, editorial cartoons, and caricatures among his early assignments. He labored for years to bring to life a coffee table book chronicling all of Rankin/Bass' specials, films, and TV series, which was finally published as The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass in 1997. Rick has many stories to tell about our favorite cartoons, including the holiday classics Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman.
You can follow Rick on Facebook and Instagram @rickgoldschmidt.

Whitney Matheson isn't our typical guest. While she does make daily comics, she writes in so many different formats, it's hard to keep track! Whitney's perhaps best known as the creative force behind Pop Candy, the pop culture column/blog that she wrote for over a decade at USA Today. But since then, she's branched out into writing for short films, theater, newsletters, comics, kids' books, and more! Whitney shares a studio with Dean Haspiel in Brooklyn, and just recently published her short story collection, Trudy Sellout, as well as her collection of 2024 diary comics.
You can follow her and her work in so many places: on whitneymatheson.com, on Patreon @whitneymatheson, on Substack whitneymatheson.substack.com, on Instagram @thewhitneymatheson and X @whitneymatheson.

He's the man behind Minimum Wage and way more: it's Bob Fingerman! Bob started out early as a cartoonist and illustrator, leaving NYC's School of Visual Arts to produce work for publications like Cracked, Penthouse, Heavy Metal, National Lampoon and The Village Voice. But soon, he decided to focus on comics, breaking in with a year-long stint on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and shorter pieces for Eros Comix, Dark Horse, and Vertigo. His first graphic novel was a sci fi satire called White Like She, and then he created his semi-autobiographical series Minimum Wage, which he continues on and off through today. Since then, Bob's done a mix of comics and prose novels, often in the post-apocalyptic and zombie genres, and did some work at MAD Magazine.
And he's still going strong, with two new books published this year. You can still get That's Some Business You're In, his visual memoir, on Zoop: zoop.gg/c/bobfingerman. And Printopia, his first all-new graphic novel in over a decade has just been published by Cosmic Lion Productions. You can get it on the Cosmic Lion site or wherever books are sold.
You can follow Bob on his site, bobfingerman.com, and on Instagram @bobfingerman.

Yes, we have THE Mike Allred: father of Madman, creator of Doop, iZombie, and so many others, artist extraordinaire, and lover of comic books! If you didn't know, Mike started out in broadcasting, first on the radio and then as a TV reporter in Europe. But soon he's back in his native Oregon, chewing up the independent comics scene with graphic novels like Dead Air, Graphique Musique, and Grafik Muzik, as well as contributions to Creatures of the Id. One of those stories featured Frank Einstein, who Mike would go on to mold into his iconic Madman character. After Madman-ing it for a decade, Mike made for Marvel next, where he collaborated with Peter Milligan on X-Force (later X-Statix), then Matt Fraction on FF, and Dan Slott on Silver Surfer. He even found time to create and launch iZombie, which was adapted in a TV series. Now, he's at DC, tackling the big boys in Superman: Space Age and Batman: Dark Age (both with Mark Russell).

The man, the myth, the father of Shi: that's right, it's Billy Tucci! Billy and Shi crashed onto the comics scene in 1994, and they never looked back. For the first dozen years, it was all about the half-Japanese, naginata-wielding woman warrior and her solo and crossover adventures. And crossovers there were: with Avengelyne, Gen-13, Cyblade, Daredevil, Grifter, Vampirella, Lady Death, and Wolverine, just to name a few! Billy eventually branched out to other publishers, working on Heroes for Hire at Marvel, and Jonah Hex, Birds of Prey, Harley Quinn, and Sgt. Rock: The Lost Battalion for DC. Now, for her 30th anniversary, he's putting together the craziest Shi book yet, the multiverse-spanning Shi: Gatecrasher.
You can still get Billy's latest, Rocketeer: Pavlichenko Special Art Edition, on Indiegogo here: https://igg.me/at/SHISECONDCOMING/x#/. And you can follow Billy on his site, billytucci.com, or on Instagram @billy_tucci and X @BillyTucci.
