In this episode André speaks with not one...not two...but three guests at once! A first for this program but a fun chat none the less.

Karla Nappi, Juaquin Mobley and Helen Maimaris all pop in to discuss their involvement with the "Unseen" issue of F(r)iction #21! This issue of F(r)iction explores the stories that are hiding (or have been hidden) in the shadows. These pages burst with genre-soaked tales of ghosts, real-life imaginary friends, and old-fashioned invisibility guns. But you haven’t seen the half of it! Unseen also investigates what it’s like to live on (or be forced onto) the margins of society, to be someone who the culture might rather ignore.

Each guest brings a unique perspective of their lives, experiences and what they brought to the table to this unique collection!

André chats with another of the mega talented Toronto pool of artists and has a fantastic time doing so.

Shawn Daley is a Ringo Award-nominated cartoonist and chiptunist from Toronto. Studying audio production and working a number of years in the recording industry, he began to focus on telling stories through comics in 2015 with his debut, TerraQuill Collected. His other published works include Samurai Grandpa and The Bridgebuilder’s Creed.

Shawn talks about finding comics on the unlikeliest of book shelves, nostalgia series reboots with the importance of their more serious approach and how he found a way to navigate life through the underground punk scene.
