Good episode! I am unfortunately back in a position where I can’t take notes anymore.

My pulp superhero alter ego, Doctor Thermocline, really enjoyed the intro banter section.

Argh! Dudes! It’s right there! Quesedillas, Quandaries and Queries!

They forgot to mention that Weird is spelled with two Us as well as a Double U. It’s uuWuUEIrDd!

Oh, so this story is where the Breaking the Rules art comes from.

No Guise, no Grimm, no Scholar, no Visionary, not even Aeternus…this story comes as quite a surprise. I’m glad the First Fear ties into something we knew about while still being new, plus there’s a tease of a Singular Entity behind it. It’s probably not Sgaedoth, but that’s another one I thought about while trying to guess where it was going.

Malarkey lol. I’m astonished that I haven’t heard this word on the podcast before, as far as I recall, considering how often other terms for nonsense get used.

I cannot possibly express the intensity with which I disagree with the Matilda point. Forcing me to participate in such a scene would be a worse torture than can be inflicted on me with fewer than three razor blades.

they said the artist probably started in web comics and when I saw the cover I immediately thought of G-Man + Mini-Marvels from Chris Giarrusso and Hero Bear and the kid from Mike Kunkel
