Not really sure what you're expecting here. It's a web series about a guy who falls in love with a [SPOILER ALERT] and they can't get on the same page, so they eat breakfast together for months. The brainchild of Matthew Gudernatch, "Breakfast: The Series" was a chance to show the world that you can literally make whatever you want.

What is the big topic of the week?

The Standard Comics Universe is made up of a variety of heroes and villains, including updated public domain characters (like TNT Todd or the Grim Reaper) and original characters (like UltraMan, Optima, Star-Storm, Chthonak, Emulex, and Dreadhelm).

Roy began commissioning comic art in 2010 and quickly settled into pieces featuring old public domain superheroes with the idea that “Standard Comics” (a real company until the 1950’s) bought all these characters and published them together in a shared universe. Eventually, his own creations crept into the mix. 

Roy created an abridged Encyclopedia of his characters and is now preparing to publish a comic book.

We discuss the Public Domain as well as original characters in the new Standard Universe and his future plansfor the line.

This week's topic

What did we think of The Orville?

After Jason Dube of Scattered Comics was on the show, the possibility of having creators of some of their titles as guest came up.  I jumped at the offer to have Keith Carmona and James Burton to talk about their respective comic books Blank and Damage Inc.  We learn how drawing stick figures with big boobs, and teaching High School creative writing classes can lead to the same place in life.

Jeremy also gets a chance to complain about Dc Comics New 52 again.
