<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">We’re all about lending a hand here at</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Gobbledygeek</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, so for this month’s</span> <strong>Four-Color Flashback</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, we’re slicing and dicing our way through Daniel Warren Johnson’s</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Extremity</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. The ultra-violent 12-issue series follows Thea, an artist who lost a core piece of her identity when a rival clan chopped off her drawing hand. As her father leads their clan on a bloodthirsty quest for revenge, she and her brother Rollo must question whether they will perpetuate this endless cycle of violence. Paul and Arlo discuss the series’ surprising commitment to pacifism, Johnson’s insanely detailed artwork, why the book’s violence isn’t at odds with its intent, and some quirky sound effects.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">NEXT: tune in to find out.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><strong>BREAKDOWN</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">00:00:28  -  Intro / Guest</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">00:01:46  -  Main Topic</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">01:29:55  -  Outro / Next</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>MUSIC</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">“I Want to Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles (1970)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Winner Takes It All” by ABBA,</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Super Trouper</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">(1980)</span></span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong style= "font-size: 10pt; font-family: -app
