Don't Make It Weird

Join us for an exciting episode with L. A. (Laurie) Cunningham, author, artist, and adventurer. She serves as the Editor-in-Chief and a writer at ASAP IMAGINATION, and is also a comic book creator with a dark and twisty sense of humor that complements her dark and twisty writing. Among her notable works are the debut comic book series, Sister Grim, the Points of Villainy series, and the dystopian zombie-esque parenting picture book, Babies with Rabies: An ABC Survival Guide.

In this episode, we visit Dina's TikTok Conspiracy Corner, we play the dating game Red Flags, and we share funny stories including the time Laurie unleashed her skunked dog onto her parents. Then, Laurie gets steamy with a hilarious reading from Why Are You So Sad? By Jason Porter in our Cringey Copulation segment! Get ready for laughter, games, and fascinating insights into the world of comics and writing. Grab a drink, sit back and enjoy this fun-filled episode!

Buzzfeed "Would You Rather?" Article: https://buzzfeed.com/kellyrissman/dirty-would-you-rather-questions

Paul Dodge is no stranger to the dark side of crime. As a parole agent and a member of the local Sex Crimes Task Force, he knows what depravity lies in the shadows. But when an investigation into a local sexual predator leads him to a photo of a judge's daughter and another young girl ends up dead, Dodge quickly realizes he doesn't know who to trust.

In the most dangerous case of his career, Dodge races to detangle a growing web of lies and corruption. His life and career are both on the line in this high-stakes case, and a single misstep could end them both.
