This week on the K J and A Podcast, we’re joined by indie comic creator Alex Clark, the mind and pen behind the new series Lost in the Shuffle.

We talk all things nerdy—from childhood cartoons and favorite comic runs to the behind-the-scenes process of bringing a self-published story to life. Alex walks us through the characters, inspirations, and emotional beats of Lost in the Shuffle #1 and #2, as well as what’s coming next.

If you love indie art, character-driven storytelling, and good old-fashioned nerd tangents, this is your episode.
