So many, multiple mysteries to solve with this show. First and foremost, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE NEWS SEGMENT IN THE FIRST PART OF THE SHOW?!? For the answers to these, and other questions… ask Steve. Seriously though, we … Continue reading

Digital Strips Podcast 270 – Review – Next Town Over

Gonna keep this short and sweet as we’re behind in posting this, our last podcast of 2011, and real-life complications have kept me from whipping up a true notes write-up. Apologies to our featured comic review, Next Town Over by Erin Mehlos, because it deserves much better than this. It is a truly great comic that only has upward momentum left in its future.

Rambletron topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Christmas spankings
  • “The Move”
  • Steve’s dominion over you ALL
  • Semen Week feat. Dickerdoodles
  • The Owen reveal in Paul Southworth’s final Not Invented Here installments
  • Doughnuts (but not just any doughnuts… trust me, just listen)

Digital Strips Podcast 269 – Review – Monster Pulse

The anklyosaurusIt’s (likely) the final episode of Digital Strips of 2011 and we’re going out with a bang! Or… at the very least, another episode, one that isn’t bad. Or even terrible. Sadly, it’s been a while since we’ve podcasted, so we’re spending a good amount of our time working on getting back to a plateau of consistency. Our news topics this time around certainly help us in that regard.

  • (6:25) Gareb Shamus can’t laugh at himself, gets canned
  • (8:23) Paul Southworth leaving Not Invented Here, Jeff Zugale in as artist
  • (10:23) Scott Kurtz, Brad Guigar offer services to assist struggling syndicates (EDITORIAL)

Comics mentioned in our news discussion:

Comic-Con: Retailers/Publishers Decide Maybe Digital Distribution ISN’T The Devil

That woman is the DEVIL!Before I begin, make sure to click the link at the bottom of this post to read the full article. It includes lots of details that I won’t go into here, but is well worth the read.

It’s not hard to see why some retailers and/or publishers might be reticent about jumping into the digital distribution craze that’s sweeping through the comics industry. The money stream completely changes and, in most cases, shrinks, and no one wants less money for their product. However, a panel went down at Comic-Con this year where that very real conundrum was discussed, with Scott Kurtz and Mark Waid (representing the Web and paper comic book communities, respectively) heading up the rundown.

Digital Strips Podcast 250 – Book Club – Order of the Stick – 3rd Edition (There Sure Are A Lot Of Animated Movies About Dinosaurs)

The Land Before TimeI can’t think of a snappy intro, so just imagine Jason in a Hawaiian shirt and a straw hat with a couple comically over-sized maracas singing “Zombie Jamboree.” That way, you’ll be entertained and we don’t have to worry about copyright infringement.

It’s Book Club time again and that means (for the foreseeable future) more Order of the Stick. Before we dive deeper in to the monster and punchline-filled catacombs of this comic, however, we idly chitchat about how Jason thinks he looks like Harry Potter and probably thinks he looks like everyone else in the world. Meanwhile, I’m just happy to be awake for this episode. Continue reading

Digital Strips Podcast 243 – Say Man One More Time And I Will Gut You (Review – Manly Guys Doing Manly Things)

Listening to this, the manliest episode of Digital Strips ever, is guaranteed to put hair on your palms. Or is it, if you listen to this while… you know what, just trust that this episode has more testosterone that fifty of Tim Allen’s grunts and we’ll be good.

For the foreseeable future, consider the first segment to be a a free-for-all session, not unlike… well, not unlike another mini-podcast we’re doing weekly on the Audioboo network called Put Up or Shut Up. Our topic this time around, if you can call it that, is the so-called Rapture that was scheduled for Saturday the 21st. We also delve a bit into the joys of CSI memes and random sound effects that Steve has always pined for. Continue reading
