The Letters Page

A simple episode... about machines? Sort of? Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:55 We dig into the past of the Order of the Simple Machine, both in comics and in our creative process. We reveal things we've never before said publicly! And then we make up new stuff, too! Join us next week for a live show! We love it when people ask questions live! Genuinely!

Let's Bust some Bunks! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:08:17 Oh no, another long one! Well, at least you get a number of villains out of it! And a couple issues! And a bunch of letters answered! So, pretty usual fare.  This story certainly didn't land at the time as the writer hoped it would, and would be remembered largely for the big robot suit fights. But hopefully you enjoyed the story! That's certainly one of our main goals. Join us next week for an episode about your favorite Wraith fighting your favorite Order of the Simple Machines! (We're pretty sure you don't have any other favorite Orders of the Simple Machines. Pretty sure.)

But just who are the April Fools, anyway? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:28 We (and just who is we are in unclear) do some goofs, tell some stories, and read your letters! It's just a totally normal episode!  Join us next week for more normal episode times, in which we record an episode about the Bunker Busters!  

We don't want to bug you, so please bear with us... Show Notes: 1:48:49 Adam and I kick it off with talking about how we haven't done a good job with Bugbear... and the ultimate result by the end of the episode is this cover, so, take that as you will.  Regardless, we definitely do a bunch of Bugbear work, and answer a bunch of Bugbear letters! Hopefully everyone has a better feel for the character now! We're about to head into April! Hold on tight!

Another live show! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:06:07 Over two hours?! Yes, but just barely! Look, we had a lot to go through, and that makes us all smartthinkers, don't you think?

Join us next week for a Bugbear story!
