The Salt & Honey Podcast is Coming to VanCAF!

Salt & Honey is a podcast hosted by two friends who happen to be full-time cartoonists, Sloane Leong andLeslie Hung. It features unique insights into the creative process behind comics, interviews with other creators, and insider perspectives on the comics industry.

Sloane Leong is a self-taught cartoonist, artist, and writer currently living in Portland, Oregon. She explores themes of survival, displacement, relationships, spirituality, identity and mental illness through literary vehicles like science fiction, horror, adventure and slice-of-life genres. Her work focuses on exploring silenced narratives from marginalized communities and people of color, to connect personally with individuals through storytelling, with an aim to cultivate a kinder, more understanding future. She is currently working on a scifantasy series from Image Comics called PRISM STALKER and a graphic novel for First Second called A Map to the Sun.

Leslie Hung is a comic artist and writer from Southern California. She created and is currently drawing the Image Comics series Snotgirl with Bryan Lee O'Malley.

VanCAF is proud to have both hosts as featured guests for 2018. Leong and Hung plan to co-host a live recording of one of @saltandhoneypod​’s episodes in front of an audience at VanCAF as part of our programming!
