Author: SKTCHD June 16, 2025 Duration: 1:29:19

Co-writers Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan join the show to talk about the comics podcaster to comics creator pipeline. Parker and Sheridan discuss their comic origins, the way they work together, how they think about story, their first collaboration, the origins of their partnership, experimentation, how they ended up making comics, idea generation, working on licensed comics, the power of restrictions, working with editors, debut release anxiety, whether they're still figuring themselves out, operating during a time of chaos, what the future holds for them, and more.


Each week on Off Panel: A Comics Interview Podcast, host David Harper of SKTCHD sits down for a conversation that goes deeper than the usual press cycle. This isn't just about promoting the latest project; it's about understanding the people and the processes that shape the comic book industry. You'll hear from writers, artists, editors, and other key figures in a way that reveals the personal journeys, creative struggles, and collaborative triumphs behind the pages we love. The discussions are thoughtful and meandering, often touching on craft, industry shifts, and the simple love of the medium itself. By focusing on the human stories, this podcast builds a more complete picture of comics culture, from the indie scene to the major publishers. It's for anyone who has ever finished a great comic and immediately wondered about the minds that built it. New episodes arrive weekly, offering a consistent and engaging look into this vibrant world. For more, you can find David Harper and SKTCHD across various social platforms.
