Apple Podcasts - Spotify - Newsletter
Tim Barnes chats with comedian/writer/artist Branson Reese about the creation of his Swan Boy web comic character, his love of horror, and his entry into the world of creativity.
Branson is a comedian and illustrator originally from Virginia. His first comics collection, HELL WAS FULL, is now out. You can (and should!) order it here.
He is the co-creator and host of the popular Fortunate Horse podcast Rude Tales of Magic.
Branson is the creator of the short animated show Swan Boy, which airs Fall 2021 on CAKE on FX. He also has contributed to "We Bare Bears" on Cartoon Network and his illustrations can be seen in The Neu Jorker, Snake Milk Magazine, and "How May We Hate You?" from Penguin Publishing.
His credits include Alternatino with Arturo Castro on Comedy Central, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Broadway Video’s 65th Man, The Special Without Brett Davis, and more. Die-hard fans of Brisk Iced Tea will remember him as the skinny lemon-headed man from the commercial.
