The Penny Men return from the wilderness to discuss comics... probably!

Along the way they:

• Uncover the TRUE meaning of the Larry Bird Rule
• Pitch a McDonaldland battle tournament
• Accidentally map the multiverse of Captain N (again!)
• And contemplate the psychological damage required to watch every single Looney Tunes cartoon in chronological order!

Eventually, the conversation actually reaches its intended destination: a deep dive into The TOON Treasury of Classic Children's Comics — the massive collection of Golden Age kids comics edited by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly, featuring forgotten classics from the 1940s through early 1960s by legends like Carl Barks, John Stanley, Sheldon Mayer, Walt Kelly, and Basil Wolverton!

Also discussed:

• Smurf lore
• Public domain superheroes
• Muppet archival projects
• Herman’s Hermits
• Dead Milkmen
• Jimmy Dean
• Wolfman Jack
• The Fox and the Crow
• And the existential horror of committing your life to cataloging obscure media!

Featuring:

• Ronald McDonald power scaling
• The Larry Bird Paradox
• “You can’t have these comics”
• Why Sugar and Spike deserve respect
• The secret history of Red Tornado
• A thousand Looney Tunes and no escape
• The Smurf cinematic universe
• Several things that may not be true!

The Penny Men: preserving pop culture continuity one derailed conversation at a time!
