Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to Episode 382 of the only working-class podcast on the internet! We normally only apologize for our so-so content, but this week we must apologize for a raw-throated Ian and a weary Dave.

We also should apologize for: our money-back guarantee; our terrible self-promotion; Australian compliments; insulted nations; too local papers; Miao-cDonalds; microwaved burgers; slow fast food; Ian the con man; the agony and the ecstasy of DoodleArt;

An actual DoodleArt poster that Dave attempted to colour as a child. He only got through about one third of it before the felts dried out.

The nostalgically evocative Laurentien pencil crayon box – despite the creeping Americanisms of “colored pencils”. Ugh!

Canadianisms; making Sneakers respond to questions about influential comic strips and cartoons including Peanuts, B.C., The Far Side, Battle of the Planets, Robotech, Warner Brothers cartoons, The Flinstones, Doonesbury, The Beatles cartoon show, Kimba the White Lion; Hi and Lois; and Josie and the Pussycats; parental avoidance; no underdogs allowed; jocks in the media; lonely children; our new world; squalid teenage sex; corporal punishment; Snoopy’s alter-egos; Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck’s bad comics; unfunny reverence; lack of new ideas; Pixar’s magic napkin; boring water; choir rivals; and, finally, the devil’s fiddling.

This week’s Question of the Week: What sort of discipline did your school practice growing up? Was your school progressive, proactive or pro-hitting? Let us know!!!
