The Summer Of Random Acts Of Comics - Official!

Issue 69 | Alisa Kwitney

I'm not gonna lie; Alisa Kwitney came into the studio and all but wrecked the place. I didn't know her. You know how Doug's been trying to get me to interview more people who AREN'T my friends. Well, Alisa's one of them. Doug knew her and set this up. But in she comes and, you know how when kids are at that certain age and they just have to touch everything? "What is this?," "What does this do?," "Look, doesn't this look like a French horn when I hold it like this?!" That was Alisa. You can tell I'm pissed throughout the whole conversation. Couldn't wait to get her out of there.

Issue 68 | Mark Russell

This week's guest is comics darling Mark Russell, a writer whose inventive revisions of classic characters — Snagglepuss, The Flintstones, Superman: Space Age, Batman; Dark Age — could be called ingenious. But is that what Doug wanted to talk with him about…? No. These guys are both a couple of deep cineastes and it was all I could do to get them to stop talking about movies. Jeez.

Issue 67 | Gene Ha

Gene Ha — I don't like to give away too much in these show notes, but you're gonna love hearing from Gene Ha. Not only is he a fantastic artist, he is a considerate and insightful storyteller and he makes some damn fine points on this episode that will definitely make you think.

But then we doubled-down cause she brought her husband. Ladies and Gentlemen— here are the fantastic Amanda Conner and her Secret Service escort Jimmy Palmiotti! * The iconic movie poster for Rock 'N' Roll High School (1979) was drawn by legendary fantasy and illustration artist William Stout [https://www.williamstout.com/]. He created the poster's original watercolor, pastel, and charcoal artwork featuring the Ramones and cast members. * The iconic 1978 movie poster for National Lampoon's Animal House was drawn by the illustrator and artist Rick Meyerowitz [https://www.rickmeyerowitz.com/national-lampoon/animal-house/] .
