This week we welcome the team behind the webcomic Bucko to the show: Jeff Parker and Erika Moen! We discuss the often-raucous work environment at Periscope Studios, just how accurately Bucko depicts Portland, just what comics Juggalos are looking for these days, what Erika would most like to do if she was a guy, whether Bucko’s luck is going to change and much, much more! Plus, Chris and Matt answer a sexy question about Captain America!

Good times! Now I gotta track down NEXT OF KIN. Also, glad somebody else is fond of THE CHASE.
To address Jeff Parker’s question — I spent my teen years with Clearchannel mainstream rock radio playing in my parents’ cars, where think the peak of music history was Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam and time had frozen at Woodstock ’99. This was in the early 2000s. It has not changed.
Just wanted to add something I think should have been in the show notes: the “smarm brow” source: http://lackadaisy.foxprints.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=333
One flaw of this particular show: the distinct lack of “wieners” in the episode title.
