For the cartoonists and comics lovers among us, I have something new and fun: A weekly podcast called ComicLab, with my friend and fellow cartoonist, Brad Guigar. It's half cartooning shop-talk, half pro tips, and half friendship. WE SQUEEZED IN THREE HALVES.

...have a listen below, or on iTunes, Stitcher, Libsyn, or anywhere podcasts can be heard! Or even on our dedicated Patreon page: Patreon.com/ComicLab!

BUT FIRST... in true Webcomics Weekly fashion, we spend the first part of the show catching up for lost time.

Dave and Brad are thrilled to welcome our longtime friend and Webcomics Weekly co-host Scott Kurtz to the show. Ten years after collaborating on the How To Make Webcomics book (along with Kris Straub), we sit down and open up about the greatest goals we’ve yet to accomplish.

SITUATION RESOLVED!

Phew.  Guess I’m done here– oh, right, I have to give last names to some Squad 82 folks.  Ummm…

Okay, from left to right:

Agatha Larsen already has a last name.  In case you were wondering why Agatha works at McAwesome’s in Shortpacked!, this Squad assignment was it.  Robin needed a counterpart at McAwesome’s, and so I chose Blonde Robin from the squad she was originally from.  Agatha’s Mormon in Dumbing of Age, so she wears fewer belly shirts there, but she’s exactly as chipper as she always was.

Travis!  He needed a last name.  It’s Amir now.  He has a supporting role in Joyce and Walky!, later on, but otherwise hasn’t shown up anywhere else since.

Rachel!  Otherwise known as “Other Rachel” over in Dumbing of Age.  Needed a last name, so, uh, it’s Moore.  Because “more” is a synonym of “other.”  Yup.   Dumbing of Age gave her blue eyes, lips, and purple hair to disambiguate her further from Amber Territory.

And there’s Andy O’Brien, previously named at some point.  See, he looked like, you know, Conan O’Brien, so he’s named O’Brien, see?  And he gets his first name from Andy Richter.  Now that’s all explained.  …. does he have another appearance after this?  I honestly don’t recall.  I guess he and Travis prooobably share a room or something on Danny/Walky/Joe/Mike’s floor in Dumbing of Age.

I just put up this piece of ORIGINAL ART, starting at one penny! Go snag it! It's called "Nosh and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day". https://www.ebay.com/itm/292609026682

Before I begin my review, a public service announcement: Incredibles 2 may trigger seizures in sufferers of photosensitive epilepsy¹, and may in other ways afflict anyone who is sensitive to flashing lights. Seriously. There’s a fight scene in a room full of patterned strobes, and in the darkened theater there will be no steady-state light source to provide refuge for your eyes. The scene is only a small slice of the movie but it’s enough to absolutely ruin your day if flashing lights can hurt you.

And now, the review: I really enjoyed Incredibles 2, but it petered out for me toward the end. My very favorite super-powered engagement took place mid-movie, and while there were plenty of cool heroic bits later, none of them lived up to that level of awesome.

Still, it’s a fun film. It suffers mostly in comparison to Incredibles, which is to my mind the best Fantastic Four film we’ve ever had (in the same way that Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek film we’ve ever had².) Incredibles 2 doesn’t clear my Threshold of Awesome, but I definitely want to see it again. In my own home, where I can fast-foward through the flashing lights, because they triggered a brief migraine, and I already get enough of those.

¹ I’m not a medical professional, nor an expert in epilepsy, but that scene hurt *me* and I’m just a guy who sometimes gets migraines. The picture on the Epilepsy Foundation’s page? Imagine that, strobing, only without the helpful yellow bits.
² “How can it be, if it’s not ACTUALLY a Star Trek film?” Hence the comparison. It’s kind of nuanced. 

This will be the last time Robin is the target of social awkwardness rather than the source.
