Episode 107: Brian Gordon Is Half Stubborn, Half Stupid
If Brian Gordon hadn't lost his marriage, his job, and his dog over several dark months in 2015, he may never have created the wildly popular cartoon Fowl Language. And now, he's looking to support his blended family by expanding into merch, animation, NFTs, a partnership with TinyView, and whatever else will keep the lights on. We talk about being "Airbnb parented" (trademark pending), the pressures of an enormous platform, how his cartoons function as a graphic dad blog, and why his goal is always laughs, not claps.
