Welcome to Why Not?!, Episode 20: “SASQUATCH FIGHT!!!”

This is a big one. Another Alphan bites it and boy does it make Tom happy (and then very, very angry). A lot of laughs in this one as we very much lose the wrong team member. Oh, and a conversation about Malört. That stuff is just everywhere now.

In this episode, Chris:

• gets to really stretch ye olde voice work chords
• adds “SASQUATCH FIGHT!!!” to his family lexicon
• is traumatized by panels of Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen smiling. It just feels…wrong

and Tom:

• goes through all of the stages of grief in a matter of a few comics pages
• seriously, they were so close to being free of Walt
• I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING FREE
