Just Chill with Oliver George #37 - Derek Evernden

Join Oliver as he chills with cartoonist extraordinaire Derek Evernden! An exceptionally talented illustrator, Derek is also the creator of the ridiculously funny, single-panel comic Bogart Creek. Known for his dark and absurd comedic style, Derek has been tickling the funny bones of all those who come across his work!

Things kick off with Derek shedding light on his artistic origins, including a gig working as a caricature artist that may have inadvertently birthed his gag-comic mentality. He then goes on to describe his process behind creating new comics, and ultimately deciding which ideas make it past the cutting room floor.

Oliver and Derek discuss their joint experience as finalists in a cross country search for cannabis curation committee members in 2018, organized by a company called AHLOT. Which leads to discussion regarding how they have both more recently decided to tone down their own personal consumption levels. The conversation ends with discussion of some of Derek's many fantastic comics, and the importance of vigilantly researching which jokes may have already been put forth by other individuals at an earlier date.
