On Episode #8 of “CAN YOU HEAR ME, LONG BEACH?” Jay Howell, creator of the characters for Bob’s Burgers, spoke with Brian Addison at a live Pow! Wow! Long Beach event about working hard and selling out. For a guy who’s accomplished so much—he’s also the creator of Nickelodeon’s “Sanjay and Craig”—Howell’s is remarkably humble and practical, to wit: “Just be good when you’re good” and “WHOEVER WORKS THE HARDEST, WINS. IT SUCKS TO SAY, I’M SORRY, BUT IT’S TRUE.” He’ll also draw your dog. He said so.

Asia Morris updates us on POW! WOW! Long Beach, including the Art of Blood installation at the Edison Theater and hopes more murals will find their way north next year.
