There are some weeks where I get the show down and think, “Man, I’m glad I don’t have to listen to that again,” but there are others where I can’t wait to download it, put it in my own mp3 player and listen to Jason make a fool of himself over and over again.

This week is one of those weeks.

This time around the Internet we are taking a look at Pokeweed by Drew Pocza. It’s a black and white, gag a day daily the likes of which we have never seen before. The sketching, inky art style is worth a gander if nothing else. But there is more, puns and poop jokes abound as the comic continues.

We also talk a lot about things that comics can do in general, such as backgrounds, pacing and not having a penguin doing bad things to a woman and have our first big fight in a while about the merits of awkward last panels.

We also talk about Web-based fan films, web comic centric raps and podcasters who left us (on the show not this mortal coil) far too early. All this and more in the latest episode of the orignal Web-comics podcast, Digital Strips.

It’s time we go back to what this podcast was always supposed to be about: Two guys with very different tastes in comics telling each other how stupid the other one is.

We take on two very different comics this week. The very political Grumpiverse an the very cute The Dawn Chapel. Both are new comics, both are trying to do stuff that will set them apart from the see of sameness that the Web often has to offer and both are worth checking out.

We also talk about what’s kicking right now in the world of Web comics. What’s speaking to us, what’s trying new things and some basic principles that can make any comic better. We also revisit some past Digital Strips picks to see how they’re doing. All this and more on the latest episode of the bestest podcast ever.
