This is Episode 5 of the Hamsteak Podcast! We read and talk about Homestuck, a webcomic by Andrew Hussie, which you can read for free at www.mspaintadventures.com. (This one’s a little late - thanks for your patience!)

This week we read pages 2306 to 2410 - in which we first meet Lil’ Cal (yikes), find out where where John and his house went (kind of), and finally learn the point of the game… almost.

Other stuff from the ep:
