Cutting it close, but this episode is certified ON TIME. And on this extra long episode, we're joined with LA-based cartoonist Ryan Cecil Smith.

Late again?! Yes, late again. However, would you rather have a mediocre episode that's on time or a great episode that's a few days late?

OK FINE we're back to being late again. There's good reason for that this time. You try editing two hours of audio.

We're joined with returning guest Matthew Allison to talk about his upcoming self-published comic, Sweet Sepulcher. This one is LONG and full of topics relating to the themes and topics Matt explores in his latest book, including (but not limited to) AI art, weighing the the positives and negatives of Frederic Wertham and the formation of the Comics Code following the Senate hearings regarding violence in comics, media's role in society and culture, and what it means to self-regulate consumption in a complicated world.
