Don<\/strong>\u00a0and Dr. Morbius\u00a0from parts unknown<\/em>\u00a0(Al<\/strong>) host the official “inker” episode!\u00a0They begin by talking about how B-Movies<\/a> were made, and drool over the all-encompassing glory of Krispy Kreme donuts and the subtle, understated appeal of Krystal burgers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Talking About The\u00a0Slow Robot A Go Go<\/a>\u00a0Podcast Started Everything Off
\nThen Went Into A Discussion Of Intentions And Bad Work.<\/p>\n

Golden Age<\/a> artists like John Buscema<\/strong><\/a>, Gil Kane<\/strong><\/a>, Alex Toth<\/strong><\/a>, Mike Sikorsky<\/strong><\/a> and Joe Maneely<\/strong><\/a> were discussed,\u00a0 and how some of them continued their careers into the 80’s and others’ careers were cut tragically short.<\/div>\n

And then it’s inker time! The boys discuss the merits of full and partial pencil layouts and the integral job of the inker, and how many artists inked their own work. Don<\/strong> sneaks in Sergio Aragones’<\/strong><\/a> Groo<\/a> and Stan Sakai’s<\/strong><\/a> Usagi Yojimbo<\/a>, two of his favorite books.\u00a0They even mention Mick Gray<\/strong><\/a> and Terry Austin<\/strong><\/a>, two of Dallas’<\/strong> favorite inkers, and then Al<\/strong> proposes a challenge to Don<\/strong> to ink his art!!!!\u00a0Don<\/strong> recites the story of how Howard Chaykin<\/strong><\/a> helped J.H. Williams III<\/strong><\/a> get into the comics industry, and gushes over\u00a0Chaykin’s<\/strong> Buck Rogers<\/a> run.<\/p>\n

Al<\/strong> gives Don<\/strong> his collection of Omaha the Cat Dancer<\/a> and epic tales of underground comics ensues with discussions about The First Kingdom<\/a> by Jack Katz<\/strong><\/a>, among others.\u00a0 Al<\/strong> gives his thoughts on the progression of underground\/counter-culture comics (like the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers<\/a>) into indie comics (such as Star Reach<\/a>), and Don<\/strong> explains why Fat Freddy’s Cat<\/a>\u00a0is better than Garfield.<\/p>\n

Al<\/strong> reviews \u00a0Afterlife with Archie<\/a> (Starring Sabrina the Teenage Witch!<\/a>) and Guardians of the Galaxy #8<\/a>.<\/p>\n
