Episode 85:What The?! #1

<p></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Satire is a lesson, parody is a game. - Vladimir Nabokov</p> <p> </p> <p>I can make that into a new song. - Weird Al (probably)</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>It is time to get silly! And we are not going to dive into the madness alone. We are going to bring a fan with us.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>No, not that kind of fan. The type of fan that actually sees us perform live at a campground and trades a mess of Hero-clix for a really cool tricycle. Of course I am talking about Jeff Polier. He is the guy who reminded us about this issue, and he gets to suffer through it with us.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>What type of insane story is this? Why would we even be covering a parody? Why would anyone want to mock the comic book series they love? None of these are good questions, so we are just going to say that 2/3rds of us find this to be pretty funny, and it is always a sign that you have made it if people want to mock you. At least, that is the story I told myself while I was growing up.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Do not get us wrong, we love these kids and the comics. But we have to take the time to give them both a little ribbing once in a while. Besides, most of the people working on this issue have done work on the main book. You can tell they love these kids.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Now for those of you who do not like parody, well, that is just sad. A good parody is fun. A bad parody is cruel. I am pretty sure that I just made up that quote. Feel free to spread it around and use it in every day communication. I am hoping to one day be remembered as the creator of a useless and annoying quote.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>And I guess we should mention Cloak and Dagger are mocked as well. We hope you enjoy this episodes silliness.</p> <p> </p> <p>To view the art from this issue, check out our website: <a href='https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2021/07/04/what-the-1-the-bower-brats-meet-clunk-and-dagnabbit/'>https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpres
