The shit storm is hitting all of us here in the Blergh Camp! Lift our spirits by listening to us discuss our Labor Day “festivities”, thoughts on Extract not being as funny as we anticipated (and how that’s a good thing) and Defying Gravity’s cheese-cake drama and cool space suites. We dive in to Jeff Lemire’s Essex County and probably share a little too much. Rounding off the episode we give a quick nod to Sweet Tooth and Chew, some new ongoing comics that are interesting to say the least!
