GC13 and David discuss the newest Steven Universe graphic novel: Camp Pining Play.

Peridot and Lapis decide to do a fan play of a Camp Pining Hearts fan fiction (made by none other than Lars), and shenanigans ensue. Can you imagine an episode summary more appropriate for an upcoming season six?

In summary, Pearl is the best Paulette because she is the best, and where did Steven learn to roast hamburgers over a campfire?

GC13 and David discuss the twenty-seventh issue of the current comic book series. Steven and Connie are investigating, and more dream stuff is happening.

Of course some of the Off-Colors are doing better than others. We continue to be rooting for Padparadscha facing (and handling so well!) a realization about herself, though we’re still not sure that’s what’s happening.

What is definitely happening, though, is an interesting conversation in the next issue…

GC13 and David discuss the OK K.O.! episode Sibling Rivalry, the debut of Raymond and the origin of the term “pompadork”.

While it might not actually be the most important episode to the lore of OK K.O.! (all jokes aside), it’s still a good look at the dark side of life at Boxmore. If life at Boxmore even has a bright side. It also has a “nothing but net” joke that may or may not have flown over our heads for a long time.

Boom boom, shake the room.

GC13 and David discuss the episode Wildernessa from Craig of the Creek—a good episode that is named for a good character as well.

Setting aside just what gave Cheesesticks the super size and strength necessary to give rides to children (seriously, he’s like a bear to them), he’s still the ideal companion animal for Wildernessa. Wildernessa is also the druid that the Creek deserves.

Will Forever Mortimer ever become a reality though? We doubt it, but we dream on.

GC13 and David discuss We Messed Up, the OK K.O.! episode featuring the disappointment cannon and the first use of the vague flashback.

The bodega knaves are pretty wascally, and while Mr. Gar is keen to get back to his office he’s not above a bit of distraction. Carol also takes things in stride, if for no other reason than to take a cute picture of her son. And to save him and his friends from their boss.

Wow, they were really right to worry about disappointing Gar though. Seriously: don’t disappoint him.

GC13 and David discuss the five fusion stories contained within Fusion Frenzy #1.

Awesome Stevonnie outfit? Check. Garnet backstory? Check. Smoky Quartz angst? Check. Opal? Check. Thoughtful discussions about Sugilite? Check.

Comics are the one place where fusions can run free, never having to worry about royalty checks to their voice actresses, so we’re glad to have received Fusion Frenzy #1. Hopefully some day Fusion Frenzy stops being a one-shot and they make a Fusion Frenzy #2.

GC13 and David discuss the twenty-sixth issue of the comic book series, continuing with the peril that Lars and his crew have found themselves in.

There’s less Emerald than last time, and Parparadscha is mostly back to “normal”, but things are getting serious in other ways. There’s a strong guest appearance, and definitely a strong hook to next month’s issue.

Maybe this run of issues will even go beyond three issues. Perhaps issue #27 will make their intentions known.

GC13 and David discuss the Craig of the Creek episode The Final Book.

Introducing more kids, some for the first time and some for the only time. Also the first appearance of the Trials of Trebulon. And alas poor “Fart” sticker, we never knew you.

Also, “Justice Bro” is only slightly less generic than “Super Bro”.

GC13 and David discuss the OK K.O.! episode You’re Everybody’s Sidekick.

Despite the art style still not being where it would later end up, and the characters still being in their early stages, it’s a great episode. We learn so much about the Plaza and are introduced to (and see again) some great plazoids.

Who said you need a proper villain to have a good episode. All you need is a teenager with attitude, some magma/lava, and a mathematically perfect haircut.

And a jar of pickles. Open it once or twice at your discretion.

GC13 and David discuss the twenty-fifth issue of the comic book series, featuring Lars of the Stars and his Off Color crew.

It has Captain Lars, it has Emerald, what more could you ask for? It even has something lots of you knew you wanted: Padparadscha being able to interact with others like an ordinary character!

We don’t know what mess Captain Lars has found himself in yet, but we do know that the next two issues of the comic series will continue this space adventure!
