Featuring: Amy Letts (*Creator of Epic Fail & Organizer of Caption UK)
Ever abandoned a creative project—only to resurrect it years later?
Amy Letts, the sharp-witted mind behind cult webcomic Epic Fail, just pulled off a double revival:
Her own work (Epic Fail returns after 14 years—why now?)
An entire indie comics festival (Caption UK, Oxford’s legendary small-press gathering)
In this episode, we dig into:
The "long game" of creative work—Why stepping away isn’t quitting (and how to know when to come back).
Organizing a DIY festival—Budget hacks, volunteer wrangling, and why small press still matters in a digital age.
The "Epic Fail" philosophy—How embracing messiness leads to better art (and fewer meltdowns).
The real cost of hiatus—Audience drift, platform changes, and rebuilding momentum.
Whether you’ve got a half-finished project in your closet or dream of rallying a community, Amy’s story is a masterclass in creative resilience.
