Ep. #211 - Ghost World: The Crocodiles of My Mind

• Intro - We're better than a knitting podcast, and David expresses his pure and vile hatred for knitting, revealing that he believes it to be no kind of art, and an activity that is placid, dead, and incapable of innovation at this point in history. Give a look see at our sponsors DCBS, where comics are between 20% and 40% off.

• Cinnamen - We combine reviews/discussions of the graphic novel Ghost World by Daniel Clowes, and the film adaptation co-written by Clowes and Terry Zwigoff, the latter of which also directed the film. There is a lot of sadness, for sure, but crocodiles are also discussed. Granted, they're discussed in conjunction with sadness/depression, but still. That's gotta' have a smile or two attached.

The show means a lot to us, so if it means anything to you trust us, that is a unique experience we won't soon forget.

We talk about The Whole Wide World, the story of writer Robert E. Howard and Novalyne Price Ellis, their emotional relationship, Howard's writing style and possible mental illness, and all kinds of stuff. Oh, including The Adventures of Two Gun Bob!

We talk about a TON of people in this episode, and most of them are going to be tagged on Twitter, if we can find them. Thanks to SPX for having us, it is literally one of the kindest and most accepting cons a comic fan can attend.

Here are some of the people we bought comics/art from:

Liz Prince
Eleanor Davis
Jesse Lonergan
Dorchak Bloch
Maré Odomo (print from Telegraph Gallery)
François Vigneault
Claire Connelly
...and more!
