It's hard to believe it's been so long since the last time the Geeks had Katie Cook on the show, so now it's time to rectify that! Shane, Murd and Ian discuss Katie's first physical edition of Nothing Special, as well as the online Webtoon version that started it all. We talk what it took to transition from one format to the other, how Webtoon initially approached her for the project, and learning how to do art digitally. We also delve into the fandom that comes with a webcomic, the joy that is Radish, some Gronk, flasks and bowling balls named Eula, avoiding children's band practice, the uniqueness of Hot Topic, some Super Show memories, and lots more!
