Episode 183 - Comic Books

A Beano, a Pig and a British Avenger

This week we attempt to talk about comic books and accidentally create the longest episode we have ever recorded, which is either impressive or a cry for help.

Before the comics, we cover the World Cup, Father’s Day, David’s birthday, England shirts, waffles, paninis, and the ongoing family sport of guessing what David has put inside toasted bread. Then David performs a comic book song, which is loosely based on the brief in the same way a seagull is loosely based on a helicopter.

After that, it’s time for the Father and Son Days comic book club. We review Peppa Pig’s working-from-home office drama, Marvel’s The Union and its deeply British superhero problems, and a 1983 Beano featuring Dennis the Menace, Gnasher in a leather cat suit, traumatised puppies, naked sea lion butlers, suspiciously dangerous walnuts, and at least one strip where absolutely nothing happens.

KAPOW!
