On part 2 of this week's episode, we interview the creative team  of Jason Patterson and Dan Abdo. Jason and Dan have been friends since high school and have collaborated on Comics, graphic novels, children's books and animation. Jason has also created many New Yorker cartoons, but has not had time for them this last few years. Their "Barb The Last Berserker" graphic novel has three volumes so far and is in development as a series for the Disney Channel. They've written six children's books featuring their characters, Blue, Barry and Pancake and created the cartoon show, Rocket Monkeys, which lasted for three seasons.

Winning captions for New Yorker contest #894 (BOZO at MOMA). 

Finalists for contest #896 (Wanna get plucky?). 

Current New Yorker contest #898 (The drinks are cheap but it's kind of a dive).
