Episode 19 - Webcomic Reviewing
Submitted by fesworks on April 11, 2008 - 10:50
Fes, Tanya, and Brett Hainly discuss why we used to review webcomics and why it has worn us numb. Why? Hint: We blame people that never learn. The show runs very long today. Perhaps its because we found so much that pisses us off. Aaron of The Best of What’s Left, a long time contributer to the show has officially become another co-host for the show! On top of that, we decided to go with Mark Savory, of Autumn Lake, to be our new Webcomic Reviewer! Officially! This week he reviews a comic that follows the story of Dracula by Bram Stoker, though it’s done in a furry style! Check out Dracula!
Milestones this week include: Paranoia High hits 200 strips, Roomies hits 400 strips, Ardra hits 100 strips, and Boxcar Astronaut hits 1 Year.
