Starting out this episode, Al and Don talk about finding comic books and trades at Megacon, cosplay, and wondered if conventions still have movie rooms. After the music break they wonder why no one complains about satanic music and backmasked albums. The Paul is dead hoax is discussed along with conspiracy theories.
At the end they finally talk about comic books. The influences of Bill Sienkiewicz, the new Silver Surfer comic and Walt Simonson.
