When Terry and I get talking, you can't shut us up. Also, if you didn't notice last week, we've scattered random comedy skits betwixt and between this conversation to add a little levity to the proceedings. ( We love us some old time radio, so…enjoy? )

This episode has everything.

Terry Austin is an award-winning inker, known for his crisp, sharp lines and distinctive style. He has been in the industry for decades and has, most notably, illustrated Batman, the X-Men, Green Lantern, Camelot 300, X-Men/Teen Titans, and so many more. I'm not gonna even tell you more; go look him up. You'll be very, very impressed, I can tell you.

Got to spend all day today with my pal, Walter Simonson and, boy, are my ears tired. For part 3 of our Walter Simonson series, Walt gives us the lowdown on how he took over both the writing and the art chores for everyone's favorite Asgardian and, by adding in Norse mythology changed Marvel mythology forever.

Mike Norton — So thrilled to have artist Mike Norton on the podcast — especially cause he's currently working with me to create some all new Tellos stories out next year from MadCave. We talk a little bit about it on the show so check it out!

*Production note : Once in a while, you'll hear a glitch or a bit of static. It was interference on the remote connection. In other words, it was recorded that way at the source and could not be repaired. - Doug

I'm not gonna lie; Alisa Kwitney came into the studio and all but wrecked the place. I didn't know her. You know how Doug's been trying to get me to interview more people who AREN'T my friends. Well, Alisa's one of them. Doug knew her and set this up. But in she comes and, you know how when kids are at that certain age and they just have to touch everything? "What is this?," "What does this do?," "Look, doesn't this look like a French horn when I hold it like this?!" That was Alisa. You can tell I'm pissed throughout the whole conversation. Couldn't wait to get her out of there.

Long before either of us got into the industry, Kevin and I worked at a small grocery store in Stephens Iowa. We were just teenagers at the time and he worked mostly produce while I handled the cookies/crackers/cereal isle. One day we decided to build a box fort out of the huge boxes of paper towels and toilet paper in the back room and convinced this other kid who worked with us, Shelby, that it was the doorway to another dimension. Shelby was gullible like that and we really sold it. But Shelby went in and we heard a "crack"… and we never saw Shelby again. We quickly disassembled the box for and no one ever knew. Til now.
