Join us on this episode of Inside the Kingdom as we explore Amber Waves, the comic strip by David Phipps that brings to life the joys, struggles, and everyday magic of growing up on a farm. We chat about Gerald, his animal friends, and how rural family life shapes the stories in a way that’s both nostalgic and new.
What you'll hear in this episode:
The origin story of Amber Waves — how it began, where it came from, and what makes its voice special.
How animals are used as more than just background — as little commentators on human life.
Reflections on rural childhood, authenticity, and why simplicity still resonates.
What it means now that the strip is part of Comics Kingdom, and what’s ahead.
If you love comics, farm animals, or stories that feel like home, this one's for you.
Where to read Amber Waves: Comics Kingdom and in many local newspapers.
