Jimmy was in Toronto over the weekend attending TCAF (Toronto Comic Arts Festival). He got 8 interviews from cartoonists Monica Gallagher, Sweeney Boo, Chris W. Kim, Catherine Castro, Anne Mette, Motzie Dapul, Allan Matudio and Melanie L. Yan. He also moderated his friend Aimee de Jongh's spotlight 1:1 panel. In this episode, Jimmy recaps the show both the good and bad. Interviews you'll hear in this episode are from Motzie, Allan and Melanie. The rest will air later this week and next week in TCAF specials. It was the first TCAF back since 2019. While there were some hiccups, overall it was a fun show and Jimmy got some great interviews.
