#78: The Challenges of Writing Comedy and Humor: Dot and Carry One

The Cru discuss the challenges of writing humor/comedy before trying their hand at it in their own tales. Stories begin at the 12:50 mark and include voices, arguing; a contested peg leg; someone, pegging, in some ways; a pirate museum; and a false limb that dreams of being a different false limb.  From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: Dot and carry one. Someone with a wooden leg. The dot represents the impression left by the peg-leg on the ground. Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
