Ep. #158 - Breaking the Snork Wall

• Intro - Don't worry, our complete lack of comic book news and/or reviews means very little. You still get our specialty: weird references, filthy jokes, a hint of everlasting sadness, and jokes about our very respectful and wonderful sponsor DCBS, who give you at least 40% off everything on their website. If you're not bald, go to their store in Fort Wayne, Indiana (or if you are bald).

• Prompts & Circumstance - What was the weirdest cartoon we loved as kids? Furries and yiffing, and whether that is insanely reductive? What stories will be/are the most iconic for certain mainstream comic characters? How are we still talking about The Dark Knight rises film? Why does Austin hate mockumentaries so passionately? Darren Arronofsky's ouvre.

Ep. #155 - 

• Intro - We fail to mention that because our sound board fried itself, this episode was late. That's why, though. Thanks to our sponsors DCBS who are literally solely responsible for allowing us to buy a new board on incredibly short notice. Go buy your comics from them to tell them thank you from us.

• Topic Thunder - Thor 2 taught us a lot of things about gravity, sacrifice, and how the word "Josh" means "no" in Dark Elf language. Then we talk about some awful stuff happening in comics now, but are sure to say "allegedly" a lot. We ain't gonna' be litigated.

• Confessions - David watches a film everyone was sure would be horrible, and finds out it maybe isn't awful? Austin still needs to double check this. Then we discuss movies, and how pretty much every movie in the 80s was filled with hatred and homophobia, but for laughs!

The Tim Gibson Interview!

• Intro - Ugh, we're gross but I guess we don't change. Thanks to Tim Gibson for stopping by and being 100% ready to joke about gross things, but also talk about his unique and totally fucking rad comic Moth City. 

We discuss with Tim the genesis of his comics love, where he went to school and his job prior to comics, as well as the mechanic he utilizes for showcasing Moth City digitally, along with how much work that actually entails. Please check out his comic and give a thought to buying it (for incredibly cheap), despite its status as a completely free story you can read practically everywhere. He puts a ton of work into it, and deserves to have a wide readership.

Check out the interview on our YouTube channel and Emergy Peck's drawings; thanks to our sponsors DCBS, who sell comics at a ridiculous discount. Seriously. It's crazy.

Interview!

We sat down with Christina Merkler, co-owner of Discount Comic Book Services. DCBS not only offer amazing discounts on comics, but also sponsor our show! 

Christina chatted with us about the beginnings of DCBS, specifically how they began in a basement and steadily grew until the basement became nothing more than a cage to hold them back (she doesn't say that; I made that up); what they like about the industry, and how they feel about digital. She has a very unique perspective on the retailer side of comics, and it's one we're deeply interested in. This interview is why we left our microphones in Fort Wayne - on accident, so it's not why but how - and we really hope you enjoy it.


If you like Hideous Energy and want to support more of what we do, check out 6 Barrel Shotgun, a short comic written by Austin, illustrated by Logan Faerber, and lettered by David, which is now available on Comixology!

DUMB

• Thanks to our sponsor DCBS, who has amazing discounts from 35% and up! We chatted with co-owner Christina Merkler, and that interview is coming this Friday, July 5 ohhhhhhh yeah, we left the stupid microphones at DCBS's Fort Wayne, Indiana shop, and that's why this dumb recording happened. Because we're dumb. Austin wrote a short comic called 6 Barrel Shotgun that was illustrated by Logan Faerber and lettered by David, which is now available on Comixology!
