June 3rd, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Hey, here’s a question. As a blogger and cartoonist myself, I know I care about these sorts of things.
Would you rather we comment on here on the site or on the Youtube channel?
June 3rd, 2009 at 4:10 pm
I’m so happy you enjoyed the new episode! Next week should be filled with even more awesomeness Ben Templesmith is the man… he’s been a great support to the show’s rebirth.
Thanks for the kind words, Orlando! xox
June 3rd, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I’m cool with either, but YouTube doesn’t let you link to things so this site is best for comments. That said, I’m still going to read and respond to comments on either site… so choose your favorite
June 3rd, 2009 at 5:34 pm
It’s great that you’re back and there’s no better way to kick off the new season than Templesmith’s talk of edible babies!
Can’t wait for more episodes! You guys rule!

June 6th, 2009 at 1:00 am
Yay! Thanks, Josh! Next week’s interview is going to be really interesting… I promise
June 8th, 2009 at 3:11 am
I am super surprised and glade your back.
On another note, I was wondering if you guys know any good fairytale/Neil Gaiman like comics with a good to slow pacing? That would be really inspiring, but I just can’t seem to find anything close to that.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:11 am
The two I can recommend are Lucifer and Fables. The former actually is a semi-sequel to Gaiman’s Sandman, more or less existing in the same world. Fables on the other hand is an excellent new work that has all the popular fairy tale characters living in the real world. I highly recommend it.
September 26th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
love you guys and girls wish you were around in the 60′s
