Ep. 77 Breaking Kayfabe with Cartoonist Jim Rugg

The Lou Cappetta Show

This week Lou is solo again, but has another great guest, as Eisner Award-winning cartoonist Jim Rugg joins the show to talk about one of Lou's long time loves...COMIC BOOKS! Jim talks about how his own love of comics lead him to a career as a cartoonist, the comic books he's created like The Plain Janes and Street Angel, and his upcoming Marvel project "Hulk: Grand Design", where he gets to put his take on the entire original Incredible Hulk Comic run! Of course, we will also talk about Wizard magazine, The Comics Journal, what it's like collecting comics today, and of course, the incredibly popular Youtube channel he is on with his pal, cartoonist Ed Piskor called "Cartoonist Kayfabe". All that, and the boss move he and Ed pulled on comic legend Todd McFarlane (to his credit Jim doesn't know what I'm talking about here).
