Episode 30 still needs some editing, and it was a holiday-themed episode anyway – so we’re going to save that one for another holiday.  (Maybe Valentine’s Day?  Arbor Day?  National Prune Yogurt Day?)  So instead we’re going to go with Episode 31 today, with guest Tom Dell’Aringa of Marooned!

Some show notes:

• Marooned
• The evolution of a strip from gag-based humor to stories
• Preparing for books
• Trailers, animation, stories, and other things in a webcomic’s extended universe
