This episode: Is TOTALLY self-indulgent!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What started as the intro to a longer, serious\u00a0interview episode spiraled out of control into a fun and rambling hour-long conversation, so you loyal listeners get not one but TWO episodes this week!\u00a0 That’s right: It’s our very first BONUS EPISODE<\/strong>! We’re finally *sniff* <\/em>a real live podcast<\/em>. We’ll have an “actual” episode on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Eternal Question<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, if you’re on Facebook you’ve no doubt participated in or at least seen your whole feed filled with a certain meme in which one comes up with the “Top 10 Most (personally) Influential” albums of their teenaged years. We both participated in that to one level or another and there was a good time had by all. It wasn’t too long before the cartoonists decided to subvert said meme to their own nebbish quadrant, with both Becky Cloonan <\/strong>& Josh Bayer<\/strong> starting similar threads on their FB pages that spawned hundreds of comments in just a few hours. There were probably others, but those are the ones we saw. In any case, we thought it would make a fun conversation starter to do a chat based on this meme\u00a0and before you knew it, the segment we naively penciled in at about 20 minutes before an interview with\u00a0a talented\u00a0cartoonist… Had boiled over into an hour long, incredibly nerdy<\/em> discussion that mainly entailed talking about 80’s\/Early 90’s\u00a0Marvel & DC comics.<\/p>\n

\"26-21\"<\/a>

Subtext: We’re Old<\/p><\/div>\n

Though as you will see, it’s not ALL Marvel\/DC, and we talk a lot about our various turns from reading mostly “Big Two” books as they were known back then, to the world of alternative comics. This happened earlier for Zack, & later for Mike. We talk about this, as well as Mike’s obvious hard-on for the X-Men books and being an early adopter of the Vaporwave aesthetic as it applies to Batman. So without further ado,<\/p>\n
