In each half-hour episode, the hosts discuss the important issues of the day; such as troublesome neighbors, child-seats on bicycles, and injuries sustained during games of volleyball. They might also talk about comics in there at some point too! Mike Dawson Comics no Mike Dawson Comics mike@mikedawsoncomics.com mike@mikedawsoncomics.com (Mike Dawson Comics) The Ink Panthers Show!

It’s the most educational episode of The Panthers yet! Alex and Mike see how they do on the United States Citizenship Test. It’s like being in 7th Grade Civics class all over again. Spend 48 minutes with us, and perhaps you just might learn something. Comments Welcome!

Four new Troop 142 pages posted. Campfires at Boy Scouts were often spent singing songs, telling ghost stories, and performing creaky old skits. Also, marshmallows.

This weekend was busy, so I’ve only got a small TROOP 142 update at the moment. Two new pages - see what happens after Matt swigs his LSD pill. He’s not happy.

It’s finally time for Tony, Matt, and Jason to drop their first hits of acid. What kind of a trip are they in for? The adventure starts HERE!

Mike Dawson has two chief virtues as a writer: writing dialogue with an almost painful level of verisimilitude, and an understanding of the dynamics of teenagers that manages to emphasize the Darwinian nature of their relationships along with the naivete’ of youth. The first two issues of his latest project, TROOP 142, put the viciousness of the interplay between teenage boys in the context of a Boy Scout outing. One thing that Dawson hammers home in these comics is the tension between the ideals of being a Boy Scout and the reality of being a teen.

I haven’t yet figured out how I’m going to make these minis available for sale outside of comic conventions. I’d like to try to get a distributor interested in helping me out, but if that doesn’t work out, I’ll probably setup some kind of Paypal system or something.

We were supposed to have a special guest on the show this week, but technical difficulties had us stymied. So instead, Alex and I chat about which superstar celebrity we might lure on the podcast for our big 50th episode, and we discuss launching a brand new feature on the show. Expect a blog post with more details on this to come. Comments Welcome!
