This week, David and Rylend are joined by New Yorker Cartoonist Emily Flake and Pulitzer Prize finalist Lalo Alcaraz (LA CUCARACHA). The group explores the often thorny intersection of comics and politics and Rylend gleefully discusses the unfettered stupidity of old white men. The episode ends abruptly, however, when Avallone realizes he’s running late for a well-earned romantic getaway with his wife at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

Ringo Awards Riot. This week, David and Rylend are broadcasting from Baltimore Comic Con Live! The dynamic duo is joined by cornucopia of elite creators - Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals), Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo), David Pepose (Spencer and Locke), Drew Edwards (Halloween Man), Troy Little (Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons and Dragons), and IDW Editor Scott Dunbier - to discuss their 2020 Ringo Award nominations. They briefly flirt with the idea of forming a competitive show choir septet, but quickly abandon the scheme once they realize they don’t have a serviceable soprano.

CREEPSHOW. This week, David and Rylend are joined by the Nightmare Theatre Anthology co-editors Clay Adams (RED XMAS) and David Schrader (BABY BADASS). With Halloween on the horizon the group talks horror... the good... the bad... the decidedly ugly (hint: it’s Schrader). Also, Rylend says “Candyman” five times while looking in a mirror and the ghost of Regis Philbin appears and sings Baby It’s Cold Outside.

“A plan is just a list of things that aren’t going to happen.” This week, David and Rylend are joined by He-Man/Wonder Woman scribe Amanda Deibert and Screenwriter/CANTO creator David M. Booher. The group swaps stories about wildly zig-zagging career paths, about lives lived with one foot in the film/TV puddle and the other in the comics toilet, and David takes another shot at disproving Einstein’s theory of relativity... IN SONG!

This week, David and Rylend are joined by Scout Comics Co-Publisher Charlie Stickney (creator of WHITE ASH and THE GAME) and Hex Comix Producer/Editor Lynly Forrest. The group discuss the “creator empowerment” era of comics, the rapidly changing comic Kickstarter landscape, and despite David’s strenuous objections, Rylend challenges Rip Torn to an arm wrestling match.

Grown-Ups and Kids’ Stuff. This week, David and Rylend are joined by a gaggle of creators - Brenda Hickey (My Little Pony), Troy Little (Rick and Morty), and Richard Fairgray (Blastosaurus) - whom have made comics for adults AND comics for children. The panel discusses what’s different, what’s the same, how you walk that line, and how nervous they typically make their publishers. Also, Richard talks A LOT about poop.

David and Rylend are joined by Eisner-nominated writer David F. Walker (BITTER ROOT, NAOMI) and Ringo Award-nominated writer Erica Schultz (DAREDEVIL, FORGOTTEN HOME). The group explores the new comic “normal” in the time of COVID, David does not one, but TWO acappella renditions of Ave Maria, and WAY too much time is spent appreciating Erica’s absurdly luxurious hair.
