Matt Rooke, the artist behind Apes 'n' Capes and the brand new primate spy adventure Bubbles O'Seven joins the gang this week. He talks about the brilliant new book, collaborating with Grainne McEntee, his influences and why its easier to draw monkeys rather than people. Theres also talk of James Bond, genre over saturation, the useless pop art excuse for stealing sequential art, the Vagina Monologues, Chevy Chase cocaine stories and so much more. Also Dans a birthday boy, Vince makes a spectacular verbal mistake and Tony desperately wants to go to the theatre with Dan. PLUS we announce another competition, and its one that you'll definitely need to be paying attention for!
