Monster Dudes

For the very first episode of Double Page Spread, Devin Bruce of the "Scotch and Comics" podcast skypes in to chat and make soup with Wendi. We talk about why we're compelled to podcast about comics, whether certain books still hold up and shopping in Canada. And make a tasty cheddar and beer bread as well.

This is the first episode and I was experimenting with mics and Skype recording, so I know it's a little noisy at times. Thanks for bearing with me! I didn't realize my chopping could get so loud.

In this extra edition of Comics Slumber Party, Wendi talks to Michael Moreci (writer of "Quarantined") and Steve Seeley about their new Image book, Hoax Hunters. They also chat about the mystery of Gelooze and lament the loss of some of their favorite tv shows- Rubicon and Terriers.

A re-edit of our Hilary Barta episode where we delete when the sound completely craps out. Hilary Barta (Spongebob Squarepants, Bart Simpson Comics, Marvel/DC inker) brings his acerbic wit to chat with us. Maybe one day we'll get to revisit the pillow fight- radio legends John Siuntres vs. The Shadow!

I'm very sorry about the audio problems with the recent Hilary Barta episode starting around the 41min mark. Thank you so much to all of our listeners who bear with us throughout sonar pings, mysterious echos and loud bursts. Every download is deeply appreciated and I welcome input from all of you. 

And thank you for all the assistance and advice from fellow podcasters. I don't know what I'd ever do without the commiseration of the Earth 2 podcast, Mostly Mellow, 11 O'Clock, Scotch and Comics and the inimitable John WordBalloon and Aw Yeah. Comic podcasting has been a warm and friendly community I'm grateful to be a part of. 

It seems from the Aw Yeah and Caramagna episodes I have my Skype tweaks mostly worked out, but I will reoutfit my mic and mixing setup very soon. And I'll reedit our fun chat with Hilary Barta within the week. 

Thank you and may you all have happy holidays and a wonderful new year! I hope you all get that blow up Power Girl doll you wanted!

In this week's ep all the girls are together with Josh Emmons, Sean Dove and Mike Norton of "4 Star Studios"! They talk about digital comics and developing apps...and were 80s cartoons nearly as good as we remember them?

In the most recent episode of Comics Slumber Party (up this afternoon! 12/13 I promise!) we talk to 3/4 of Four Star Studios and naturally the topic turned to the many characters of Masters of the Universe. So naturally I want to hear from our listeners- who do you think is the lamest inhabitant of Eternia? 

It would be easy to go with Orko, right? Or Skeletor because he has that girly voice? How many crazy prosthetic limbs could they throw on guys? Remember Clawful? Was Fisto made by Mattel or a sex toy company?

By the power of Greyskull, chime on in. We love hearing from our listeners or even just 80s toy fanatics! 

If you've read any Marvel titles from the past 10 years you are probably well acquainted with the prolific lettering styles of Joe Caramagna. He talks with Wendi about preordering, obsessing over sales figures, what goes on in the Starbucks bathroom and Dark Pet Avengers!

In this bonus Slumber Party, Wendi hangs out with John Siuntres (Word Balloon) and Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani from "Tiny Titans" and the "Aw Yeah!" podcast! They talk Kirby legal drama, event fatigue syndrome and bizarre plastic surgeries!
