Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie: Light My Fire
So…yeah…we screwed up. Wayne, Paul, and Tim recorded an episode of Funnybooks but, without Aron’s guidance…well, someone forgot to hit record. Either that or upgrading our Skype screwed something up. Or Gremlins did something. More than likely it was Gremlins. In chicken costumes. Still, because we’re dedicated podcasting professionals (Well, Tim and Paul are anyway), […]

Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie: Frog to the Chimp!
Our apologies for the delay in this week’s episode. According to our podcast editing staff, they are “notoriously over-worked, over-committed and vastly under-appreciated by management.” Enough finally became enough, apparently, and the entire editing staff WALKED OUT.

Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie: Questionable Priorities
It was a crazy week. Both Aron and Wayne worked long hours. Aron even had to send The Wife to pick up his comics. Add to that, comics sold out all across the country sending books back for second and third print runs. If it felt like the 90s, maybe that’s because the speculator market […]

Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie: Byrne Stealing!
Hurm… It appears that our show notes were washed away in Tropical Storm Irene. If Paul survived the largest storm to hit the east coast in 25-years, I am sure he’ll update these notes.

Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie: The Thunder Brothers
This week, a lot of folks called in sick… so they didn’t get to join us for our Thwipster.com conversation. They didn’t get to lament the sad news of NBC’s Wonder Woman decision.

Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie: Just Google It!
Let’s face it. This was not the most spectacular week in comics. With a few noteworthy exceptions, it’s a rather lackluster stack of books.

Cardboard Crack: Building W/B Aggro
EDITOR’S NOTE: Jonathan tells us that no show notes are needed for this episode of Cardboard Crack as “the title speaks for itself.” We here at IdeologyofMadness.com are dubious on this point.

Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie: Dan Slott
The truth of the matter is that Paul drug me to Amazing Spider-man kicking and screaming. I hadn’t read the title in more than ten years and while I loved the character, I’d not been jazzed by a Spider-man story in a long while. Then Paul introduced me to Spidey-scribe Dan Slott’s Big Time, the […]
