"I really don't learn anything or achieve anything if you don't laugh. If you don't laugh, it's probably not that great of a cartoon."

This episode is a conversation-turned-parlor game with Steven, a.k.a., Slumberjack, creator of Bitcoin Cartoons. We discuss his process and inspirations but also engage in the some fun as he leads me in a game of "Name That 'Toon" using his delightful and funny political cartoons. Because this is an audio-only podcast, if you want to play along, just scroll down this page. There you’d find the images Steven shared with me and the time-stamps that sync with our audio. It’s worth taking a second to do that.
The Bitcoin Muse is and may always be sponsor-free. Ideally everyone who listens is doing so using some of the Podcasting 2.0 apps like Fountain and Breez and you can stream or boost some sats this way. I’m sharing 10% of whatever comes in with OpenSats, a non-profit dedicated to supporting free and open-source projects and contributors, especially Bitcoin related projects and projects which help Bitcoin flourish.
