Summary

In celebration of the amazing guests that have been a huge part of our 20 years of podcasting, we kick off the first of our CGS Honor Roll episodes with our friend and Uncle-in-comics, the always generous Sal Abbinanti! The topics are plentiful as we listen to - and laugh along with - stories of family life, navigating the current state of the comics industry, an Alex Ross Exhibit at the Dunn Museum later this year, plenty of original art and football talk, memories of Jamie D and so much more!
