  From The Simpsons to Steamroller Man: A Matthew Schofield Interview

  Aug 31, 202646 minS18

  Matthew Schofield has spent 27 years on The Simpsons as a storyboard director, and in his “spare” time he’s building his own universe as the creator, writer, and artist of the indie superhero comic Steamroller Man. In this conversation, we unpack what nearly three decades of high-level TV animation taught him about story, timing, light and shadow, and how to build a 24-page comic that actually lands emotionally. You’ll learn why he thinks comics should not try to be movies, how Steamroller Man scratches creative itches The Simpsons can’t, and what really goes into designing character, humor, and heart when you’re doing it all yourself.

  ICHI! and Crumple Explained: Why Kyle Lawrence Wrote These Stories

  Aug 17, 202635 minS18

  Author and YouTuber Kyle Lawrence joins Two Geeks Talking to unpack how he thinks about story across prose, comics, manga, and film, and why “tricking” the reader is really about guiding them through an emotional experience you’ve already mapped out. He digs into the making of ICHI! Number One Baseball Robot and Crumple, the craft challenges of having “too much freedom” in prose, and the specific feedback that actually moved the needle on his writing. We also get into the origin of his King Rex Comics YouTube channel @hailkingrex , why knowing comics history (including the unsung creators) deepens your love of the medium, and how he navigates metrics, and self‑promotion without shouting into the void. If you write, read, or obsess over stories in any format, this episode is a masterclass in staying curious while still finishing the work.

  On Set With Guillermo del Toro’s Team to His Own Comic Doris Doodle: Hasani Walker

  Aug 3, 202638 minS18

  Hasani Walker went from answering phones in a call centre to answering story notes in the animation industry, working with filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro along the way. A decade later, he’s taking everything he’s learned about character, performance, and visual storytelling and pouring it into his own project: Doris Doodle. Once a 1940s Hollywood cartoon star and now a washed‑up actress clawing her way back into relevance, Doris is his lens on fame, failure, and second chances. This conversation dives into how Hasani made the leap into animation, what he uses from studio life to build his own comic, and why Doris Doodle might be the most honest character he’s ever created based on real-life experience.
