What, did y’all think we were playin’? Well, we weren’t. This past weekend, we joined up with the creator of Garfbert, Daniel Kibblesmith, to attend the 2017 Garfield Gathering Collectors Convention in Asheville, NC. Then we all got together at Matt’s house afterward for our post-show report and to attempt to play a Garfield board game Daniel bought. Hear us break down all the ins and outs of the convention while trying to figure out this weird game from 1981!
The writer of Pix returns to quiz Matt, Chris and Chad Bowers at Heroes Con 2017! In addition to the “Name that Story” game we played last time Gregg was on, we also play a few fun warm-up games based on The Price is Right, $25,000 Pyramid and other shows! It’s a fun time, even though Matt does get kinda mean.
Our pal and editor of the new Can I Pet Your Werewolf anthology Kel McDonald comes by this week to talk about cuddly werewolves, a harrowing con experience, CapWolf (of course), John Jameson, whether it’s possible to pet a turtle, preferring stories that are cute and/or fun, non-wolf were-creatures, Kickstarter and much more! Plus, we add some characters to the Panel President list!
Our good pal Kieran Shiach, writer of the new all-ages comic series Mossy with artist Traci Shepard, drops by to chat with us this week about swamp monsters, trolls, pool floats, capybaras, apartment pet policies, Kickstarter, all-ages comics, dinosaurs, lettering and much more! Plus, we answer a listener question about one of our favorite guys, Spider-Man!
Friend of the show Jon Morris drops by this week to talk about his new book, The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains, and all the odd, unfortunate and underused characters featured within! We discuss cocaine, nazi bees, “league” vs. “legion,” handsomeness, Batroc, a mystery sequel, and much more! Plus we take some personal and probing listener questions!
In his reporting for Vulture and New York magazine, Abraham Riesman has talked to some of the titans of comics. So we talk with him about those interactions with Steve Ditko, Todd McFarlane, Priest, Daniel Clowes, Stan Lee, and others. Plus, we get into the pronunciation of his name, candy, go-karts and a whole lot more! And on top of that, we answer two probing listener questions!
Who truly is the Dr. Doom of Peanuts? You can only find out by listening to this week’s episode, where we add more characters to our ever-expanding Panel President list!
