-
077 - Happy Little Trees

more -
069 - Jazzed
Your Graphic Novice hosts are far too mature to address the connotations related to the number of this episode (because we're saving that for episode 69.1). While we still consider ourselves a comic book podcast, it always seems to take a while before we get to comics and this week's episode is…
