Out of the blue – there’s another Ink Panthers podcast posted this week! We were very happy with the special 50th episode two-part extravaganza, but wanted to go out on a less sleepy note before we take a little break for a few weeks. Also, there was an annoying hiss all throughout the 50th episode show, which we aren’t really sure what the cause was. Maybe the internet was as tired as we were. Anyhow, in this bonus episode, we talk about some of the things we’re looking forward to this Summer, and then complain about some popular things that we don’t like very much. Also, we start talking about an exciting upcoming live event, which you can be sure we will mention again and again until the day it happens this coming August. Comments welcome!

Episode 50 is here, and it’s so big we had to split it in two!! Listen to Alex and Mike, as they struggle to stay awake working their way through the Slush Pile and waiting for their special guest to join them from the West Coast. Topics include: Cosplay at the Phoenix Comicon, Renaissance Festivals, and the Comiket Comics Show in Tokyo; the imminent Collapse of society; and a recent challenge that has been laid before us, which we will surely accept.

We discuss his passion for gaming, his feelings about selling the mega-popular get-together game Apples to Apples to Mattel, and his relationship to comics. Plus, an announcement which is sure to excite Dork Tower fans. Also: Alex thinks Revenge of the Sith is a better movie than Return of the Jedi. Insanity!! Comments Welcome!

Dork Tower cartoonist John Kovalic joined us in The Lair this week, and after we were done talking, we realized the recorder wasn’t on. This was the worst feeling ever for poor Gags! Ugh, so lousy… However, after a few days to cool off, Mike and Alex crouched back in The Lair and actually had a really good chat. A rare discussion about the books that we’re working on, and the debut of a brand new Douche Chills story. Also, some comments about Ghosts and Fishing. Look for John K. to show up For Realz next week. Comments Welcome!

Whoof! This was a rough one! Technical problems abound. We’re joined in the first half of the show by The Desert Panther, Tony Consiglio, until connection issues force him to take his leave. Not before he gets to tell us about his recent trip to Vegas to see The Blue Man Group, however. Then, in the second half of the show Alex and I are at our absolute funniest! Oh, it was the best! Unfortunately, we didn’t record. Don’t worry though – the Panthers see if they can recreate that earlier magic. Comments Welcome!
