Leave on your pajamas, grab some cereal, and join the Comics Playground guys, along with friend and guest Keith Cunningham, for an in-depth look at cartoons. In this trip down memory lane, Gargamel's motivations and Voltron's use of weaponry are questioned. Many a cartoon theme is sung and many cartoon characters are imitated...poorly. Lots of GREAT cartoons are discussed... and so is "Sailor Moon". All this along with some Independent Reading, a Wayback Review and a great listener submitted review too! WARNING: this episode of Comics Playground contains high levels of FUN!"

In this episode we break from the usual format and go review-free in order to present a special interview with upcoming Marvel Adventures Hulk penciller Steve Scott! We talk about his previous work, comics and kids today, and have our own mini Hulk love-fest. Also, we offer some news regarding future episodes, Eric channels SNL, and Ryan sings! Give it a listen- you wouldn't like us when we're angry!

In this episode, the guys climb the tangled web of Spider-Man's "Brand New Day", along with a couple of their Amazing Friends who also share their reviews. Need more reason to listen? Decapitated mice! Little girls with OCD! A case of worms! And our lowest review... ever! Face it, Tiger- you just hit the jackpot!
