440 - FCF: Sweet Tooth

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Imagine a world where a global pandemic killed millions and changed society forever. Spooky stuff, huh? Well, take a break from reality with this month’s</span> <strong>Four-Color Flashback</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">:</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sweet Tooth: The Deluxe Edition - Book One</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, comprising the first 12 issues of Jeff Lemire’s offbeat breakthrough about a little deer boy and the post-apocalyptic hell that awaits him in the wilds of Nebraska. Along the way, he meets a Frank Miller-style tough guy named Jepperd, who seems to be the grizzled protector to Gus’ naive innocent. It’s a little more complicated than that, of course. Paul and Arlo discuss Lemire’s weird, idiosyncratic artwork; the way he uses the faces and especially the eyes of his laconic characters to convey so much; and how the new Netflix adaptation is radically different.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">NEXT: dust off that mail robot, it’s time for</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Americans</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">season 2 with British secret agent Wesley “Wezzo” Mead.</span></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;">00:00:47  -  Intro / Banter</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">00:19:38  - </span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Sweet Tooth: The Deluxe Edition - Book One</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">01:37:00  -  Outro / Next</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>LINKS</strong></span></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em><a href= "https://slate.com/culture/2021/06/sweet-tooth-jim-mickle-interview-jeff-lemire-adaptation-netflix.html"
