Giving the Mic to the Wrong Person

Part 2 of our talk with Adam & Andy from Cosmic Monkey Comics. My mic is still a bit buzzy since I'm such an awesome audio engineer. Subjects this time involve running a comic shop aimed at family readers rather than collectors, Marvel's bankruptcy, the shitshow that was the Dunes bar, Roddy Piper's standup career, Steve Miller's SNL bit, and more. --- ---- Notes: --- www.cosmicmonkeycomics.com --- 5335 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR 97213 --- Recs: -- Blacksad: https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/16-361/Blacksad-HC --- Amulet: http://www.scholastic.com/amulet/ --- Longest Day of the Future: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/10/luca-varelas-the-longest-day-of-the-future-is-dark.html --- The Eternaut: http://www.fantagraphics.com/eternaut/ --- Luke Pearson's Hilda books: http://lukepearson.com/Hilda --- Ghosts: http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/ghosts-raina-telgemeier-returns ---//////----- We're on Facebook now! www.facebook.com/givingthemic // Twitter: www.twitter.com/givingthemic // Comments/Questions: [email protected] // Main theme by The Mysterious Breakfast'r Cereal at @chiptheme // All items trademarked and copyright their respective owners.

Following up on our previous convo with Bridge City Comics, this here's a talk with Adam & Andy from Cosmic Monkey Comics, split into two parts for easier consumption and because I can't edit audio as fast as I'd like. Warning that the recording quality in this one is a bit twitchy since I'm such an awesome audio engineer. We talk about everything from starting your own shop to Todd McFarlane stories to when Bob Mould wrote pro-wrestling for WCW. --- Also, I completely blow my references early in the ep by confusing Ilan Mitchell-Smith(from Weird Science) with Robert Carradine (from Revenge of the Nerds). We profoundly regret the error. Part 2 coming next week! ---- Notes: --- http://www.cosmicmonkeycomics.com --- 5335 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR 97213 --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndK2ej-qbws -- An awkward interview with Bob Mould by the Prima-Donns on Minneapolis Cable Access in 1999 -- We're on Facebook now!
