Occasionally, you need to eat your cruciferous vegetables to maintain a healthy diet. Like eating man-made broccoli, you need to listen to the Pentertainment Podcast so you can feed your head with knowledge about the pen market and its potential hazards like shady dealers. That's what this episode is like - it's eating vegetables for your head. It gets sad and depressing sometimes. But, at least it ends with the fact that you don't need to eat anymore because you're bloated.

If you'd like to shop for a new pen or try to get Tom fired, head over to our retail sponsor, Goldspot Pens at goldspot.com

Luxury Brands of America (our other awesome sponsor), is sweeping (or swabbing, maybe?) the nation with the Colorverse USA Special Ink collection. Each ink color takes its inspiration from something famous about the particular state. For example, New York clearly should have been red for the PenBoyRoy's hometown. Instead, they went with that statue of oxidized copper floating in New Jersey's waters. Despite that one glaring error, these 15ml bottles should not be missed by any fountain pen ink enthusiast.

 

With Father's Day and graduation coming up, I know the first question on everyone's mind is, "will the PenBoyRoy officially licensed limited edition t-shirt still be in stock for gifting?" Yes. Yes, it will be. Be sure to order early and often as the moment I explode in popularity, I won't be able to keep these in stock anymore.https://www.inkjournal.com/collections/stickers/products/penboyroy-official-t-shirt-black
