Episode description:
Some huge developments in the comics industry took place over the past few months, so the Pantyhose Ninjas are finally offering their thoughts on the Disney-Marvel deal. In addition, listen to Quinn's review of Doug TenNapel's fantastic "Monster Zoo" along with another childish "Word of the Day." Shine on!


And here's a message from listener Simon Owens:
Hey, I remember reading your post the other day mentioning Howard Tayler's Schlock Mercenary web comic. I got a chance recently to interview Stevens for a PBS piece about how web artists are monetizing their content and whether newspaper cartoonists could emulate them:

Anyway, I thought this was something you and your readers would find interesting.

Take care,
Simon
