The Sound of Young America: David Malki, Creator of Wondermark

Episode notes

David Malki ! (who really spells his name with an exclamation mark) is the creator of the comic strip Wondermark. He isolates woodcuts and engravings from 19th century periodicals, then alters them to create a surreal and hilarious gag strip. His first collection of the strip is called “Beards of Our Forefathers,” and features extensive context for the strips, including faux advertisements and more.
