What is the Problem with Comics? - DP E159

This week, your hosts discuss last week, more specifically, the Don't Panic Radio Show live birthday show.  Steve and Paul also review MP Cavalier's single "The Blue Girl," Steve attempts his Transcontinental Railroad/smart phone analogy once again.  How do editing mishaps make the show better?  What the hell is a Luddibomber?  And what's going on with Pateron? 

 

In the second half of the show, Paul tells the story behind the story of his mom phoning in on last week's recording, Steve tries to "get" comics, which turns into Dr. Manhattan vs. the Starchild, and a second attempt at the new segment, #whatsonthepage.

 

All this nonsense and much more.​
