Well… The incredible web comic Sarararara is at least. We caught up with our pal (and recent Doctor) Olivia Hicks about wrapping up Sarararara, what it feels like, taking a closer look at some of the pages, themes, how it was produced and the future of, hopefully, a physical collection. It was so good getting a chance to catch up and make sure everything was ok. We had such a great laugh and we even discussed more of Olivia’s recent comics work along with her new job as ‘Junior Graphic Novel Editor’ for ‘Rebellion’ What can we say, Olivia works F***ing hard. Just to note that this was recorded just before Christmas 2020 so Olivia can now be found at @droliviahicks on twitter and Sarararara has now come to an end.

*Theme Music: Chartsmasher – Dial Up* chartsmasher.bandcamp.com/releases specialdudescomix.bigcartel.com/ HO! HO! HO! Get ready because not even distance can stop the TCS crew from having their Christmas party and catch up. We delve into what we have been reading this year and what we would consider out favourites of 2020. There is also a bit of general chatter as always but we mainly stick to the comics this time surprisingly. It’s been a funny old year and we even had a bit of a break near the tail end of it to recharge and bank some more episodes. We have had to adapt to the new way of doing the show but we have plowed on and continued to enjoy talking comics and having you all listen. So thank you. A very Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year. Cheers!

Hello! Hello! Welcome to another edition of That Comic Smell. This time we take a look just outside the world of comics to find those writers, artists etc that have made comics but are very much known for other things. We find famous, authors, actors, chefs, scientists, wrestlers, musicians and many more, all dipped and continue to dip their toes into the wonderful world of comics. We also must mention that there are some audio issues here and there throughout the episode but it doesn’t take away from the great chat that we had. There are some huge names and some real surprises during this topic. We also take a moment to praise our very own David for undertaking a tremendous task lately involving all the past comics titles we have discussed.
