The Quest to Draw the Perfect Dragon with Matt Furie

This weeks guest is Matt Furie! Artist and author of the Boys Club comic, Night Riders, and the newly released Mind Viscosity. Matt blew onto the scene when one of his beloved characters, Pepe the Frog, turned into the biggest viral memes of the 2010s and was eventually appropriated by alt-right and white supremacist groups. The recent documentary 'Feels Good Man' covers this sordid tale from Matt's perspective as he enters the dark underbelly of the internet to save his intellectual property. This episode covers a little bit of that harrowing tale but goes beyond Pepe into the wild and strange world of Matt's other work. We talk about his approach to facing darkness, his inspirations, goals for the future in a post-pepe world, and David Bowie's codpiece from Jim Henson's 'Labyrinth'.
