Do you, our valued listeners, believe it is ok for Steve to have a strong interest in the goings-on of the world of Disney princesses? Neither do I, and that argument is the crux of our first segment. Oh, and Steve is nice enough to keep us relatively on track with a comic recommendation as well:

• Happletea (5:22)

We also squeak in a few news items before lacing up for the Book Club brawl:

• Butterfly (7:00) returns
• Questionable Content (7:40) hits 2000
• Bongcheon-Dong Ghost (8:40), the pulse-pounding Korean comic from creator Horang (all details courtesy of Robot 6)
• STRIPPED (10:03), the comics documentary by Dave Kellett and Fred Schroeder

Alright, it’s time for the fight. What better fight anthem to roll us into the fracas than the theme to Mortal Kombat 3, remixed by The Dual Dragon (Mortal Konfrontation, 11:15). Of course, if you want to just get back to the action, the second segment starts at 12:52.

If you’ve been checking out this Book Club, you know that Steve is the veteran with Order of the Stick and also the bigger fan of the two of us. I am excited to finally be reading this long-running, very popular webcomic for myself, if only to form my opinion about it based on actually experiencing the story. That said, Steve and I rarely agree on anything this comic does, which makes for an interesting conversation. Listen in, won’t you?
