We discuss Mark's comic book origin as a fan, switching over to a creator, and the process to make Cream Maid. 

Cream Maid sees the world as theirs for the taking. Cream Maid wants to be the individual in the room that everyone adores. Cream Maid still has a long way to go. 

Honey and Darling—an affluent couple living in the English countryside—take on the infuriating feline on a whim, soon discovering that Cream Maid is something altogether unique, blurring the lines between employee, child and trickster god. 

Well-meaning but ill-fated, Cream Maid’s destructive wake serves as the beacon that this newfound family starts to steer towards.

From the Kickstarter description:

The New Amsterdam Game is a proposed series of one-shot comics about the mysterious Gooseberry, a masked vigilante bedeviling British troops in Revolutionary New York City. A sword-swinging, action-packed story, The New Amsterdam Game follows in the steps of Zorro, The Princess Bride, and The Count of Monte Cristo.

"Gooseberry's Midnight Ride" is designed to act as an introduction to the key characters and setting of The New Amsterdam Game. Every New Amsterdam Game story can be read separately, or all together as one saga - no complicated backstories, no convoluted storylines. Just pick up, and enjoy!

We discuss the current Kickstarter for Jason's new comic PRINCE-S STARthief. Jason tells all about the first issue, and what the second issue has in store. We go over Jason's comic book origins and all of the other great stories you can expect from Pulp Girls.

PRINCE-S STARthief is an epic sexy sci-fi full of pop culture winks, nods, and satire. Large conglomerates rule the stars, the worst of which is the devious PEP-C co.  One woman knows what they're hiding. Something special, something personal, something she is tired of searching for so she's taking the action right to their door.

This is a great conversation not only about the love of comics, but also behind the scenes work of creating comics.

Peter hails from Saint John, New Brunswick and we discuss some of the differences between being a geek in the United States or Canada.

Peter has written issues of These Damn Kids, Exciting Comics, Beetlegirl, Mississippi Zombie, and so much more. All of this within a few years! We talk about the creative process of writing and if Peter actually lives in an alternate part of Canada that has a longer than 24 hour day.

Lots of comic book talk, along with plenty of that pop culture that he hasn't forgotten.

Daddy and Declan discuss Roblox, Adopt Me, YouTube, Fortnite, Minecraft, Pokemon, and more. Declan also gives his true feelings about wrestling and comic books. Plus lots of "technical difficulties". You try to get a 7 year old to sit still and talk into a mic.
