“Scary Gary” creator interviewed on podcast
Mark Buford, creator of “Scary Gary,” sits down with John C. Snider of www.scifidimensions.com and talks about his comic strip.
In the podcast, Buford offers a glimpse not only into his influences — the comics and the people who have inspired him — but also into the inspiration for Scary Gary, how the innovative comic was picked up by a syndicate and the creative process Buford uses to create the strip each day.
Buford also offers some inside information about the cast and the comic that no fans of the horror or comic genre should miss. With Gary and Leopold joined by Travis, a severed head in a jar, and a parade of other supernatural beings, suburban life won’t know what bit it.

I’ve known Mark for years and have always enjoyed his work. I saw Scary Gary very early on and was blown away by it! I think Mark really has a big one on his hands here.

I’ve been reading Scary Gary since it debuted and I’m really into it so far. It’s a very funny strip.
