Banter Buddies

Many years ago we had these things called newspapers. Some of them contained daily comic strips. On Sundays the BIG version of the newspaper would arrive complete with an entire section of comics, some of them in full color! On the final episode of season one, we discuss our favorite titles and characters from these comic strips and of course hear from our listeners!
