Theres something amazing in listening to the Toddfather talk on his couch

[@portland-182]

Great interview. Set the subject up, and let them go, without interrupting. Nice to see Tod reflecting, and not just hustling. I felt I met the real Tod a little bit. Happy New Year

[@tinyvikingproductions500]

Exactly

[@Redbearart]

That was the mellowest Todd interview I’ve ever watched

[@arniexvx9776]

ikr? he's so coherent?????

[@arniexvx9776]

ikr? he's so coherent?????

[@christopherlahti3789]

Excellent conversation and interview questions. So interesting hearing Todd’s responses to topics we’ve not directly heard on record before. HNY CK

[@jozefserf2024]

Archie Goodwin, one of the true gentlemen of the comics industry.

[@MrBlx4life]

Happy new year Ed, Jim 🎉 Welcome back Todd, and Happy New year to you too!🎇

[@spongebobsquarepants4576]

I love how open and Todd is in this interview. No filters and a great view of the behind the acenesc

[@ChuloAA]

So fucking dope that y'all got him back on the channel and as the first vid of 2024

[@oclovisbatebola]

Grande Tood. The first time I saw his art was when the Hulk comic arrived in Brasil. It was a wonderful insight into characters that I hadn't yet experienced.

[@Carrion_Comics]

Happy New Year!!! Spawn 31 was the first comic I bought as a preteen and it went completely out of control from there. It was Todd's are, Greg Capullo, and Tony Daniels that really inspired me to continue to develop my own skills. Only recently have I gotten back into it and that cover art is still inspiring though the interior has changed.

[@jrheintz]

i can't tell you how grateful i am that cartoonist kayfabe exists and that you guys are doing the anthropology youre doing and making the books youre making.

[@MrSamfonseca]

Happy new year, everyone!

[@brandonnhembree7439]

Todd is the Michael Jordan of comic books man, a super talented guy who based on likeness and name alone created an empire which paid him more than his day job probably ever would with the toys and stuff, and he's also the first person who will tell you to quit bitching and grow some nuts. there's a reason image has survived to this day

[@kerry-j4m]

Quit moaning and groaning about things and make changes in your life is a good mantra,but,some folks don't want to do this,just continue complaining.

[@aaron.florian]

Here we go!

[@slowhed]

This is how we start the year. LFGGGG Thanks to all three of you for the vid and thank you for holding down on the comics front so constantly. Make More Comics

[@PebblesMintstone]

Happy new year, guys!! Thanks for doing that thing you do, making Cartoonist Kayfabe my favorite youtube channel!

[@benjaminfloresart]

Yayyy!!!! Happy New Year

[@YokaiKage]

Great question Ed about the book a week. I loved Todds response about how he could adjust the story to compensate for unavoidable dealys artist face, how he would adjust the setting to make the deadline easier to meet.

[@YokaiKage]

just finished the rest of the interview, great job guys. really great conversation pieces.

[@anthonytorres393]

Thanks as always! Enjoy the new year!

[@marcoantonio_lx]

Happy New Year, Ed, Jim and all the CK community!

HAPPY NEW YEARS TODD FATHER

[@20th_century_Ghost]

Marvel Comics was a golden goose that was bought by butchers who slaughtered it for meat; and now they're dressing the bones in a Clown suit.

[@TheJeffhvt]

[@danielbedrosian8869]

Happy New Year fellas!

[@montagethemovie5947]

[@teetoo3790]

Great interview. These guys have great interview skills.

[@Mgm1976-j9w]

The Toddfather 🤟

[@paulpeartsmith]

That guy is a star.

[@yauyuso]

This is a nice interview. Talking about comic books. Story of Todd inking Dark Knight Returns #2

[@flikopaints]

Of all the interviews I've heard with him, I think it's the first time I heard him include directly his co-founders regarding credit. I could be wrong, of course but the tone was a little different. Thanks again!

[@kamikawakak]

Is this the best McFarlane interview? Damn well might be. Talk about informative, honest, and fun. Great work guys, and happy new year!

[@redbulletcomics9850]

Thanks for another great interview with the Toddfather. Of all my artistic influences (which there are many) he is one of my favorites to listen to, I love his no-nonsense, get to work attitude.

[@MiniMikesCustom]

Yea this just feels different. His brain isn't in work mode like the last time. He's talking differently like... idk this just makes me love the man more. It was like therapy lol

[@jennysoapdish4502]

love these interviews with Todd! Thanks to all three you!!!!

[@anthonythomasexperience]

Man Kayfabe should draw a Spawn book or 2😊

[@RyanBrown314]

What did you guys tell him to get him to drop the act?

[@MrODIE1972]

Great interview. Happy new year 🎉

[@jabbadac]

Great interview

[@ashleysmith640]

Great stuff 😮

[@RunMeThrough]

Absolutely stellar interview. I love Todd. Is he arrogant? Yes. Can he come off as an ass hole? Yes. Does he love talking about himself? Yes. I’m here for ALL OF IT. The dude is a legend, a smart af businessman and knows his shit. So jealous you guys get to speak with him but so blessed you do it to share with all of us. Thank you 🙏
