Ahoy, Sneakers! There is no nautical theme to this week’s show. We just felt like saying ahoy.

This week on Episode 286, Ian and Dave have more to say about ventriloquism; compare and contrast Mighty Mouse and Mickey Mouse; don’t rate early comic book artists very highly; do some off the top of their heads history on early comic books and Harvey Kurtzman; remember Plop!; are excited that Twin Peaks is back; confess what really scares them; have a YouTube recommendo; recommend getting them started young; become silly over The Beachcombers; do some TV schedule guesswork; dissect the Fall of Jimmy Fallon; and, finally, do a little VanCAF wrap up.

Thanks for listening!

Never forget! About our two ongoing contests:

* Have some dinner with Ian and Dave, and, if you want, watch Sneaky Dragon being recorded. All you have to do is send us a little message that says, “I’d like to eat with you!” and Ian and Dave will treat you to an after-show meal at their favourite White Spot.

* Send us your story. That’s right. Just your story. If you need a prompt, Ian suggested “your secret origin” and Dave suggested “how how you found Sneaky Dragon” Please record a two to three minute story and send it to us via email ([email protected]) or our Facebook page. Or Skype Sneaky Dragon and leave a message on our voicemail. David will add a playlist for your story as well.
