The Oatmeal comic about the word "moist"Back from Thanksgiving, where the turkey was lean and moist, the stuffing was rich and moist, and the gravy was hearty and … moist.

Braided beltsSteve and Jason are fed up with talking to people about their favorite hobbies. But PLEASE talk to them about their favorite hobbies. Like webcomics! There’s plenty of talk about those in this episode, including one hosted on the newly de-boobed Playboy website, as well as the first Twitter-sourced comic ever, a site that strives to explain every single XKCD strip, and a set of illustrations of your, yes YOUR favorite role-playing campaigns. All that, plus the saddest found item ever used for a belt.

Can You Dig It? Feat. Macho Man Randy SavageOn this Halloween episode, you just have to ask yourself one question: pants or gun? Steve has a story that asked that very same question, and Jason has a story about a time when he was terrible to someone. Shock, I know. After the break (yep, it’s back), there’s plenty talk about wrastlin’ Kickstarters, spooky treats from well-tread creators, and trying to understand why RSS just doesn’t work for some folks. These boys are becoming men, but that’s about all they can handle this year. WEREWOLVES 2016

Also, because I promised Steve, here’s the link to the Corporate Skull comic he talked about.

Steve and Jason share their painful break-up stories in this installment.
