• S04E02: Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees — Don't Poke the Bear

  When the sleepy animal town of Woodbrook is rocked by a spate of grisly murders, Yan and Nat pack their bags and set out in pursuit of truth, justice, and some of that true crime ad revenue. With the whole town on edge, and no shortage of potential suspects, it's a podcaster's paradise among the pages of "Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees" by Patrick Horvath and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou! Now all our hosts have to do is keep their paws clean, their dinners down, and their mic levels green. Easy, right? ...right? --- In this episode, Nat reads Issues #1 and #3.

• S04E01: Through a Life — A Matter of Perspective

  Earlier today, the R.S.S. Comic Sans returned safely to Earth after its slingshot voyage around the sun, making Yan and Nat the first — and last — podcast hosts to go to space. As the details of their mission are top secret, they'll instead spend today's press conference discussing the graphic novel "Through a Life" by Tom Haugomat, dissing AI art, and doing Charlton Heston impressions. Refreshments will be served. --- In this episode, Nat reads the entire graphic novel. Show notes and bibliography available here. Hear an interesting ad? Learn more about our advertisers here.

• ML Kejera on the Dismal State of Comics Preservation (Aftershow Preview)

  In our Patreon-exclusive aftershow, Yan and Nat continue the conversation with Gambian comics critic ML Kejera. Right before this audio preview, ML and our hosts were talking about how difficult it was to find 'official' copies of today's readings ("Arzach" and "Blueberry" by Mœbius) — which turns into a conversation about piracy, preservation, and the ails of the comics industry.
