Episode 194 - Lia Strasser & Bizzy Coy

On part 2 of this week's episode, we talk with Lia Strasser and Bizzy Coy.  Lia is an illustrator/cartoonist and Bizzy is a published writer/humorist and together, they are the Wonder Twins of cartooning. They started collaborating in 2023 and have had a number of cartoons published in the New Yorker and other publications. 
We had a great time talking with them about their background, process and what we get into when we visit people's houses (if you invite Bizzy over, be sure to lock your underwear drawer!)
