EP46: THE ART OF LEAVING OUT
<b>We talks scripts... what goes into 'em, an' what doesn't... and delve into the craft of comic books in depth, both individually and collaboratively</b>.<br /><br />We're going into the deepest, darkest, most arcane corners of what makes a comic book this podcast, drawing a lot on the classic TRANSFORMERS UK epic Target: 2006 (40 this year, don't you know?). Between us, and between this and next episode, we'll be going right back to our earliest work, looking at how our approach to creating comics has changed in some ways... but stayed rigid to the 'rules' in others.<br /><br />And an apology to Simon from Andrew for totally misjudging him at the end ;-)<br /><br />For more episodes, information and extra content, visit <a href="http://wildfur.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wildfur.net</a>

EP45: FURLOUGH
<b>We look in on 2020, and you-know-what, as the world locks down but we keep on keeping on... if at somewhat reduced rates of output.</b><br /><br />It's a dark time for the world at large, but people still need comics and animated TV shows, right? That's what we hoped, and to a certain extent was borne out, but a lot of our time was filled pursuing our own creative endeavours. Though Battletoads, Kitti Katz, Little Baby Bum (really!), House of Dolmann and more also got a look in.<br /><br />Find out more about the podcast and the podcasters at <a href="http://wildfur.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wildfur.net</a>

EP44: SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS
We continue our retro workload round-up, circa 2018-19, including Transformers '84 and Shane the Chef, and some more... oddball one-offs.<br /><br />Reimaginations were all the rage, as Transformers '84 delved back into the earliest (Marvel) TRANSFORMERS stories and Titan's Robotech stirred another oldie-but-goodie in new and interesting ways. Meanwhile, our eclectic workload/output also included Horrid Henry, Magnificent Racehorses (no kidding) and a re-airing of Brute Force. When we shake these memory pots you - and we - just never know what's going to drop out.<br /><br />More at <a href="http://patreon.com/wildfurproductions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wildfur.net</a>
