Hi All! The CDB Crew is back and this time we are interviewing comics creator Ahmed Raafat who\'s comic, The Diary of the Astro-Nudes, will soon be starting a crowdfunding campaign on Zoop. Brian, Darci, Richard and returning guest-host Rebecca strike up a conversation with Ahmed about the differences of comic-book culture in different countries, casual nudity and maybe a Ninja Turtle or two. (Team Raph Forever!) It was a delightful time and Ahmed\'s comic is really great so we all hope you enjoy the interview as well as The Diary of the Astro-Nudes!
