In this week's episode we take a deep dive into James Windsor-Smith's Outstanding Achievements Presents series. This issue features a backup by Jeff Manley's Riley The Teenage Big Foot and plans to feature a different backup story in each concurrent issue. Get all the details on the book here and then join James and I after this on Instagram where we are going to be giving away free copies of the book! Hope to see all you wonderful folks there!

'Toth'ian- you nailed it! Totally agree.

[@JerkComic]

You gotta be something special for me to turn your name into a noun - and there's not many people I would bestow such a comment upon, James most certainly is though!

[@MichaelFitzTroyTV]

James is an amazing talent! Love his work. I agree he understands the fish stick nature of comics.

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

Thanks my man!

[@JerkComic]

I am super happy to not only know James, but honored to get to help work on his books. I always learn a ton from him and his work is super inspiring

[@mistermaestersirthomas9164]

Fun and informative as always! Thanks Uncle Jerk!

[@JerkComic]

Thank YOU as always for checking it out!

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

I just rewatched for this 1st time in a couple months! What ever happened to a logo by Sam? Did I miss it?

[@JerkComic]

No I've just been broke, very, very broke since then. Car wreck, got sued, it's ahem - well it's been rough lately and I wasn't begging Sam to do something for nothing. I've been trying to save up but keep having to dip into the fund to pay for crap like my car and getting my old landlords off my back. One day she will be mine, oh yes, one day!

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

@JerkComic I hear ya! Just use my Papa Balloon logo bu Sam nut wrute your name over it in comic sans

[@mikedolan6176]

JAMES! THAT LOOKS AMAZING! GREAT STYLE!...CAN YOU HEAR ME?! IM YELLING AS LOUD AS I CAN! CHEERS MY DUDE! And great video Jerk. ✌🤘

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

Keep it down before I lose my temper!

[@JerkComic]

You wouldn't like James when he's angry man! Don't do it... what? Why am I wearing glasses? NO, I don't have a black eye... yesjamestoldmetosaythat....

[@shlepzig5853]

Big fan, James is a great guy and a good friend of the Shlepzig... He has amazing figure drawing and story telling skills.

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

Thanks my man! You were definitely a topic that came up in our live conversation after this video!

[@JerkComic]

Same here. I'm happy to call James a friend, and lucky as hell to do so. We need more people like him in the comic industry. Not only is he talented and skilled and always pushing and striving for new and better things, but he shares that experience and anything that he achieves (all pun intended here, hehe) with those other skilled creatives around him. Team that with one of the funniest personalities and James' own signature style of sophisticated dick humor and you've got one of the most swell guys I've had the pleasure of knowing in a LONG time. So happy I can hopefully turn a few new people on to this book and James' work in the future

@@JerkComic I have dropped you a line on Insta where I saw some posts going up (I had a delay on a bunch of messages too). James gave me your address, so I will have some books coming your way.

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

@@shlepzig5853 sounds awesome! I actually had 2 prints you sent me when we live chatted in case we had any lulls but we didnt🙃

[@shlepzig5853]

Will the interview go up as an archived video. I didn't get to log in during the event but would love to watch it.

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

It's on jerks insta, but heads up, my audio acted up a bit at the beginning

[@JerkComic]

Yeah it's on my Instagram but James' audio is a little wonky for about 20 minutes, if you just watch and pay attention you can hear him but I'm going to have him back on when the Christmas issue drops to do another interview with a little better camera angle and audio. I had a ton of fun talking to him and we just brushed the surface of his work really - also, message incoming your way sir! Had someone try to get into all my social media and wasn't getting new messages - can not WAIT to get your stuff on the channel and talk with you brother, should be a blast!

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

@@JerkComic can't wait to hear schlepzig and to be on again with a better camera angle and less spasms!

[@florianneumann9441]

how cool you do james book ^^ i wanted to get it but unfortunately i was a bit short on money for ordering a US book. To everyone who likes to support indie creators - give his stuff a shot!

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

Florian last night Roman was giving away free copies to anyone who pays postage! you might want to check if there's any left! In any case, thanks so much for the kind words!

[@JerkComic]

I got you man - I know it won't be cheap, but if you'd like to cover shipping brother I've got a copy set aside for you. Just message me on Patreon and we will get you sorted out my friend!

[@Jameswindsorsmith]

@@JerkComic nice to hear a happy ending!

[@florianneumann9441]
