If you draw all day it’s important to balance this with exercise to avoid back problems (+ sitting all day is unhealthy) along with the right position for your drawing table/screen. John Shelley does TaiChi, I swim 4k per week + ballet-pilates and weight sessions + walking.

I don't often do in-person podcasts, but when at a Mini-Con in my own state, I had to do it. So, in separate segments in this week's Off Panel, I talked with the great Kazu Kibuishi, @ryannorth.ca, and @lucyknisley.bsky.social about why comics rule, basically. It's a delight. Listen up!
