Drawing Controversy
Jordan LHH
Cartoons, drawings, animations, and mere doodles always run the risk of upsetting people due to their explicit imagery, their attacks on the very powerful, or for just being so wacky and subversive! Drawing Controversy interviews pop culture critics, animation experts, and professional cartoonists to discuss the world’s most interesting art form. Hosted by Jordan LHH.

Listen to the last episode:
Famed cartoonist, Bill Griffith, explains via phone-interview how he became interested in cartooning and how that led to the creation of famed comic strip character, ZIPPY. Bill also shares highlights of his cartooning career, his part in the San Francisco comic scene, and the ill-fated attempts to turn ZIPPY into a Disney World character! Also, did you know Bill literally invented the expression, "ARE WE HAVING FUN YET"?
