“Last week, I [Stephen Coles] joined Frank Chimero, Tiffany Wardle, and Jason Santa Maria for a panel at the SXSW conference. Now that web designers suddenly face the challenge (and delight) of choosing fonts from an ever-growing selection, we thought it’s a good time to recommend some basic principles for making wise type choices.”

Kate Beaton joins us on The Sound Of Young America to talk about her webcomic, Hark! a Vagrant. Her comic mines everything from Nancy Drew to obscure Canadian explorers for inspiration. Political figures and literary characters are re-imagined and skewered as petulant children, jaded superheroes and Victorian dude-watchers, accented by a very expressive drawing style.
We talk about the accessibility of a webcomic to fans compared to the by-gone days of newspaper comics, Kate’s own favorite comics and what gives her inspiration.
