• S03E06: Skip — A Hop and a Dimensional Jump

  Yan and Nat wander through the kaleidoscopic worlds of "Skip" by Molly Mendoza. --BZZT-- Hi, Scott here, producer on Comic Sans, seeking your help. It's usually my job to write these episode descriptions. And you may be wondering — why is today's so short? The answer to which is, because I'm lost for words on how to describe Skip. I really have no idea. So how about this — today, just listen to the episode. Or watch it on YouTube. In fact, just read the comic for yourself. And if you have any ideas at all on what to write here, email me at [email protected]. Please? Thank you. 00:00 - Preamble 02:54 - Unhinged Yant: A Hop and a Dimensional Jump 06:04 - Nat's Five Words 07:55 - Yan's Recap 12:04 - Discussion 32:44 - Yan's Final Questions 36:56 - Up Next on Comic Sans In this episode, Nat reads Skip by Molly Mendoza, pages 1–80.

• S03E05: Parker — A Criminal Adaptation

  Content warning: misogyny, domestic abuse, suicide [26:54 - 34:02] When a guy in a Mercedes honked at him, Yan said nothing and biked away. Slung over his back was a messenger bag containing some clothes, a snack, and the omnibus edition of "Parker," written by Richard Stark and adapted into comics by Darwyn Cooke. The plan was clear: arrive at the studio by 10am. Greet Nat a very good morning. And then—with the persuasive power of a ten-pound tome—introduce Nat to one of the greatest crime comics of all time. 00:00 - Preamble 03:18 - Unhinged Yant: A Criminal Adaptation 13:35 - Nat's Five Words; Yan's Recap 16:41 - Discussion 46:13 - Yan's Final Questions 51:31 - Up Next on Comic Sans In this episode, Nat reads Richard Stark's Parker — The Hunter, pages 1–51.
