Patrick Carson Sparrow : Batman is Not a Good Person

Welcome back everybody! This very special episode is a conversation with comic-book artist, Patrick Carson Sparrow. Its also a candid chat between two people who yes, are artists who love monsters but are also middle-aged dads, trying to figure out how to get all the needs met, and sometimes struggle with mental health issues. So we talk about fatherhood, marriage, ADHD, day jobs, depression, anxiety and how we manage to get any of our personal art done.So this is a trigger-warning that the subject of self harm, suicidal ideation, domestic abuse, come up and if you’re not in a good place to be hearing about that, maybe turn us off at the half-hour mark. 988 is the number for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Talk to anyone about it, really!We also talk about Batman (the dark, effed-up version) Conan the Barbarian and Bryan Cranston (the Walter White and the Malcom Dad versions). *******If you dig the show and want to support us, please leave a review wherever you get podcasts.You can now call and leave a voicemail about whatever you want!
