11- The Mysterious Man Behind Handrava_part one_

In this episode of Lyfeblerd, Cryptte interviews Rado of Tana, the creator of the webcomic Handrava. They discuss Rado's background and what led him to create webcomics. The Madagascan native shares the titles that influenced him growing up and how difficult it was to acquire them. Despite these obstacles, he was adequately inspired to create his own webcomics, from Handrava to Cisticola and more to come. 

Despite all the laughter, the duo still manage to cover some of their favourite anime and manga. During a slight detour to Wakanda, they also address the issue of truly authentic African stories. Even jollof rice is not spared in this episode. 

Together they take a moment to reflect on gratitude, giving credit where it's due, and embracing our differences. They explore how redefining slurs and insults can help build a stronger, more inclusive community of creators and fans alike. So tune in for an episode filled with thought-provoking discussions, a healthy dose of nostalgia, and a celebration of the incredible world of comics, manga, and anime.
