  • Introducing: the LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST

    Getting the jump on the LUTEFISK SUSHI E gun by a good 14 months, DANNO KLONOWSKI has started the LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST–An audio sampling of MN cartoonists!  Each episode will feature an interview with a different MN creator, starting with BUD BURGY on episode 1.  The hope is to talk to any and all MN cartoonists previously associated with the Lutefisk Sushi projects, as well as meet and talk with creators who have yet to participate.  Basically, the LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST is here to promote the creators of the rich and diverse MN cartooning scene.  Hope you love it…and hope to talk with you on it soon!
