Today I’ve got two amazing comics creators on to chat with me. Comics writer David Booher is a regular to the show at this point and we have a new guest joining him, Michele Abounader. Michele has cooked up a new crowdfunding project on Backerkit called When I Was Young, a 100+ page queer comics anthology featuring short stories of inspiration, advice, and triumph where all profits will be donated to The Trevor Project to benefit LGBTQIA+ youth. David and Michele both are contributing pieces to the project along with some of comics big heavy hitters like Heather Antos, Christopher Cantwell, Stephanie Williams, and Jadzia Axelrod. Michele is playing the jill of all trades role as the editor as well. Each of these stories is deeply personal. When I saw the original solicitation for it, I jumped at the opportunity to support it as a backer and knew I wanted to have Michele on to chat about it. David was a delightful late add who was kind enough to come on to talk about his story Blue illustrated by yeti friend Jack Foster that will be a part of the anthology.
