One of the things you hear over and over is that pechuga – the mezcal made (often) by adding raw chicken (or turkey or venison or name-your-protein) – is a special spirit made for celebrations. But then you see novelty pechugas, made with bacon or al pastor. So what’s the truth about pechuga? It’s a chicken-or-the-egg episode of Agave Road Trip! The cover for this week’s episode is provided by Eisner Award-winning designer Mark Cox!

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

I interview David F. Walker: author, filmmaker, educator, and recent winner of TWO 2022 Eisner Awards.

I'm your host, Wendy: a researcher and semiotician with chronic illness who has memory problems and periodic aphasia.  I'm learning how to draw before I lose my ability to talk...and hoping I can eke out an eventual graphic memoir. Even if it ends up being wordless.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

•I explain some of my limitations and try to encapsulate David's gargantuan bio. 

•I interview David F. Walker, and luckily he speaks for the majority of the recording. (make sure to check the recording Chapters if you're looking for specific topics)

•I sum things up and point you back to these show notes.

•I thank very cool and caring folks that support me, and ask you to come back.

We curse A BIT; it cannot be helped. Retreat unscathed if this is unacceptable.  Discussed: disability, Covid, creativity, David's 3 P's, making folks uncomfortable, ... I can't remember what else.

WHAT WAS THAT MUSIC?

1 "To Ponder" by GodMode  

2  “Fortress Europe" by Dan Bodan  

3  “Cocktails” by Dan Bodan  

4  “Wanderer” by Kooper Wilson

WHAT WEBSITES DID YOU SAY AGAIN?

Go to David's website to check out his blog, store, film projects, contacts, and also a link to his own publishing house, Solid Comix.

Plus, hey!  David's got a kickstarter campaign running through 09/19/22  for a second printing of the:

 BadAzz MoFo 25th Anniversary Compendium!

A second chance to get a book you didn't know you absolutely need to have!
