#065 - Rollin' Crits


With very little news to report/comment on, we are left to our own devices. This is what happens. You can see similar results by going to read our webcomic with Brent Hibbard! Twitter has updates about almost all of the stuff we're doing at any given time. Email hideousenergy@gmail.com and get longer responses from us. Facebook has both us and Super Cute. Fanoff are our one true love. Tumblr has information about comics in visual form. Comic Booked is our one true love (shhhh). Check out our exclusive content over on Why Not Indie? You can download MP3s of us from Fan Off and also through iTunes!

Episode #065:
• Intro - Something happens and you get in-depth discussions of Michael Jackson and the trials he experienced, whether we would/could play any tabletop role-playing game, and then we talk about Discount Comic Book Services!
• Topic Thunder - Two movie discussions, one that actually ties to comics (and whether it ruins your childhood or not), and then we talk about the leak of Watchmen prequel material from DC. You know, because everyone at DC hates each other and you too.
• Top 5 - Two Top Fives! The Top 5 Character Names For Our Hypothetical Dungeons and Dragon session, and Top 5 Weapons We Would Give Our Characters! You get a very interesting cocktail of serious and ridiculous.
• Outro - This is all a blur. We'll be back on January 11 of 2012.

The Becky Cloonan Interview!


Whatever time it is, right now Becky Cloonan is drawing. If you haven't heard of her or seen her work, then it is a good possibility you can't see or hear. We were very lucky to get an interview with her, and here it is! Tell us who you want us to interview (or try to) on our Twitter. Please read our webcomic with artist Brent Hibbard; the name of the comic is Super Cute. Facebook will let you show your friends and family (fake or real) that you like us! Fan Off has us and other podcasts, so go there! Tumblr thinks you are, just, so pretty. Comic Booked also has us and other podcasts, so again, go there. You can download this and other interviews through iTunes, as well as through Fan Off! Thank you for listening.

We talk with Becky Cloonan about where she was born and why she chose said place as her birthplace; she gives her opinion on the women in comics debate, and talks about how the Tokyopop shutdown affected her. After all of that we discuss fingernail soup, her desire to be a soulless killing machine, and how she sees herself as Peter Lorre.

Go check out her blog, Ink and Thunder, and follow her on Twitter. Most importantly though, swing by her online shop and pick up a copy of Wolves, or anything else she is selling. She's a fantastic artist and a cool person, so you should double-support her art! Thanks to Becky for taking the time to talk to us, and you for listening!





Movie versions of Austin Wilson and David Hopkins would probably be played by Sinead O'connor and Cybil Shepard, respectively. This interview runs 1:04:24 and will make you smile. Please give our other shows and interviews a listen, and check out our webcomic!
