Another two-fer this episode as we bring to a close our time with Roger Bochs. Y’know, given the way things were going, this might not be the worst possible…nah, this is still a pretty bad way to go out. Plus: Whitman Knapp shoots up the “worst character” rankings; Aurora is barely in either issue; and Wanda Langkowski works her way into our hearts.

In this episode, Chris:

• provides a great update on his Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough
• needs to be more careful about what links he clicks
• suddenly has A LOT of voices to do

and Tom:

• suggests there may have been some ghostwriting during Mantlo’s run: just, you know, saying things on the internet
• may also have incriminated himself in the destruction of a beloved kids restaurant franchise
• makes quite assertion vis-a-vis the English language
