DS 680: Review of Bicycle Boy

The manager for the band Spinal Tap questions the size of a Stonehenge model to be included in their next stage show
Luckily for us (and unluckily for Poet and his friends), the Stonehenge in this comic is much more formidable than the one that Spinal Tap dealt with

We wake up in the middle of a wasteland desert in an amnesia haze, inhabiting a cyborg body, and start meeting people’s fists with our face to try and figure it all out in Jackarais’ fun and harrowing Bicycle Boy on this week’s episode of Digital Strips!

DS 678: Review of Shadow Pirates

Cosplayer Lie poses in her Gadget costume from Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers

We bite down on a gumball-sized explosive device and wait for things to blow over in the anthropomorphic-filled adventure romp, Shadow Pirates. This well-produced weekday afternoon cartoon-like is sure to entertain you, so listen to us discuss kid’s shows in a slightly alarming manner and then enjoy!

DS 677: A Girl and Her Fed

The Spirit of Christmas by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the precursor to South Park

We hop in the webcomics time machine to check out A Girl and Her Fed by K.B. Spangler and Alexandra Presser. This long-running, metaphysical conspiracy romp stays the course on a bonkers story that must be read to be believed.

DS 675: Demon Street

Johnny Cage punches Goro in the manbags in the movie, Mortal Kombat

After talking about Bree Paulsen’s hiatus from Patrik the Vampire, the guys take some time to get lost and then find themselves in the endearingly fantastical tale of Demon Street by Aliza Layne. Though the hosts disagree on the appeal of the main characters, they both agree that this mix of horrifying creatures and well-crafted wonder is worth leaving your parents behind for.

DS 674: Ice Massacre

Look not to the sea, fair listener, for it promises nothing but death and decay. Well, maybe love too, if you’re lucky. But with a story called Ice Massacre, do you really expect to find a relationship you want to root for? Creators Tiana Warner and April Pierce bring two parts violent death and one part love story to this dank tale, featuring Dances with Wolves tones and too few nipples. Set sail, adventurer!

DS 673: DPS Only!

The cast of Dazed and Confused stands together in a hallway

In our first review of 2022, we look at DPS Only!, a comic by Velinxi, which caught our eye thanks to the esports gaming setting and kept us hooked with drama and relationships that we truly cared about. This story also inspired talk about the role of sexism in gaming, a subject we admit to being ill-equipped to say much about. Also, is creepy older male captain creepy? Steve files his report. All that, plus new focuses for reviews in the new year!

DS 672: Max Overacts Strips 400-500

Doug Funnie and his ventriloquist's dummy

It’s the holidays, so we returned to a comic we know we love and that feels like home. Max Overacts by Caanan Grall is full of fun, mischief, wild children, but most of all, heart. We looked at strips 400 thru 500 of the comic, taking us up to the most current posted story. Grab some nog, throw a log on the fire, listen to our review, and curl up with this great comic.
