The Trades

It's almost like we're making a habit of this. In this episode: we discuss favorite 20th century boys characters, Aaron spoils the plot of Gail Simone's Clean Room at my request, we both complain about a certain anthology, and I threaten to beat Aaron up if he doesn't get a library card. TWs: brief graphic mention of fictional suicide, extended and recurring shrek jokes.

Aaron and I discuss: new years, "hot clams in your mouth", the plausibility of genre conventions, Aaron has some stuff to work out about fairytales I guess, and I finally remember that I read a minicomic this year. Guest stars Maze T Cat yelling the whole episode.

Hello! We are back! Don't call it a comeback, because that implies celebrity! In this episode, Aaron asks what I think of harem manga, I admit to not knowing what Vampirella does for a living, and he thinks Dave Sim's required "not a misogynist" loyalty oath doesn't go far enough. Guest Star Maze T Catt throws up around 10 minutes in.

The first of our long-distance episodes! We talk about our dreams for reality TV shows, I'm vague about the concept of "meta" as it pertains to The Wrenchies, Aaron has trouble with supporting local businesses, and we get down to the REAL problems with constant reboots by the big two. I have preserved as much of Aaron's golden laughter as editing would allow, bc i know what y'all listen for. CWs in this ep: brief mention of depiction of domestic violence in a comic, brief mention of substance use.

Hello! Aaron loaned me Spaceman, we spend the first half of the episode talking about it, and, as always, we agree on nothing. The second half is mostly nonsense. CW: brief mention of sexual abuse of children in Spaceman, the cops, probably something else i forgot.

Newly imported from soundcloud, but in fact SUPER OLD. In this episode, we talk about the Future of Comics 2k15. (Which is now the past)

Freshly moved over from Soundcloud! This time we talk about Grant Morrison and Derek Robinson's "Happy" which Aaron likes and I don't, "modern cartooning" and what we would do with a Luke Cage title. CW: sexual assault in media, The Oscars, White Feminism

It's our third episode! We talk about this week in comix twitter, costume design, who we'd comix marry, and Aaron had a weird dream about owls one time.
