EP.116 - When Winking Makes you Blind - Brainstorming Ideas for Comic-Con pt.2


Listen Later

Kareem, Ken, and Pat crack open their old Comic‑Con brainstorming notes and immediately remember why last year’s planning session required snacks, caffeine, and possibly a licensed therapist. What starts as a simple recap turns into a full‑blown archaeological dig through abandoned ideas, questionable pitches, and the kind of creative spirals only this trio can produce.Naturally, the tangents hit hard.The guys revisit the era when publishers tried to make models headlining comic books a thingm, a bold experiment that aged about as well as milk in a Florida summer. Then they detour into the equally cursed world of singers‑turned‑superheroes, including the unforgettable Nightcat, whose brief comic career remains a cautionary tale for anyone who has ever said “What if we gave this pop star a secret identity?”And because no Tangential Giants episode is complete without something truly unhinged, the crew dives into the global phenomenon of Batboy Photoshop, the bizarre, inexplicable, and somehow culturally immortal creature who refuses to leave the internet’s collective imagination.If you enjoy nostalgia, nonsense, and three grown adults trying to justify ideas they absolutely should not have written down, this episode is your happy place.#tangentialgiants #comiccon #ComicConBrainstorming #popculturepodcast #geekculture #nightcat #batboys #comicshistory #WeirdComics #MediaFails #NostalgiaNerds #podcasthumor #creativechaos #comicbookculture #FandomTalk
