Metapost: Podacasts, and comments, of the week
Your COTW coming in a moment, but first ... have you ever dreamed of hearing my voice making jokes on some sort of broadcast for your iPod? Well, I was a guest on not one but two podcasts released this week! First: did you know that back in the '70s and '80s, there was a Star Wars newspaper comic strip, not unlike the late lamented Spider-Man newspaper comic strip? Trust me, there was, and it was amazing, and I discussed one storyline on the Marvel Star Wars Explorers podcast. If you've spent the years being subject to all my comics opinions thinking to yourself, "Gee, I wonder if Josh has Star Wars opinions as well," this is your chance to find out!
I also got to be a guest on the delightful MeatCast, a podcast dedicated to our favorite non-lasagna-focused orange comics cat, Heathcliff. Download this week's episode from Apple or Spotify to hear me emerge semi-triumphant on the HeathQuiz, and also discuss serious questions like why Heathcliff is nude all the time and where he was on 1/6/21.
And now, let's move on to your comment ... of the week!
"Though her face was the picture of innocent contentment, inwardly Dolly raged: 'Foolish crone!' she thought, 'Does she think I offer my loyalty willy nilly? Are the billions daily served as nothing to her? Is she blind to those gleaming, golden arches through which the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of the teeming shore may pass to bliss and plenty? Truly, there is but one true Founding Father, and his name is Ray Kroc. This isn't just America: This is McDonald's America! I am bound to honor my elders, but one day, one not so distant day, Grandma will go the way of last month's Happy Meal toys, and believe me, I'll be lovin' it. Ba da ba ba ba.’” --Urlance Woolsbane
