Episode 204 - Bruce Eric Kaplan

Bruce Eric Kaplan joins us on the podcast this week. We talk with Bruce about his career in TV, writing books and cartoons and how he's managed to blend all of those career paths together. He doesn't mind getting a little cartoons mixed in with his TV and his TV getting mixed in with his books. 
We also talk about our favorite BEK cartoons and how a word, not usually found in a New Yorker cartoons" was found in a New Yorker cartoon. A great hour of talking with Bruce that went by way too fast!
