The Ink Panthers Show

It’s The Voyage Home, part 2. After technical issues prevented us from discussing the 13 sexiest ways to die last episode, we enlist Tony Consiglio as a special guest to help us review them this week. Also, Tony tells us about a recent altercation he got himself into at a local Pet Smart, which culminated in things getting settled outside.

Following a brief hiatus, we’re back in The Lair, discussing: Alex’s cleanly shaven face, Mike’s baby-naming dilemmas, Star Trek IV: The One With The Whales, and the start of an excellent online article, all about the Sexiest Ways to Die. Unfortunately, technical issues get in the way of us completing the list, but don’t worry, we’ll be back early next week with Part Two, and hopefully The Desert Panther in tow.

We are pleased to welcome comics maker and rival podcaster, Ian Boothby into The Lair to discuss a number of topics: The origins of Ronald MacDonald, a creepy man who rose from the trash-heap. 1998’s thrilling big-budget Godzilla starring action-hero Matthew Broderick, who bravely asserts man’s rightful place of dominance on the planet. Also: there’s a Renaissance Festival happening in Maryland the same weekend as the Small Press Expo. Should Mike go? Should he buy a fine-pewter book-stand there, to use at his table to display mini-comics?

True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

A frank discussion about Bullies and the Natural Order of Things, plus: Alex has some tips on some excellent “bulls” you may want to play on your target nerd, if you happen to be the Bull-ee, not the Bull-ied. Also, an update on some breaking inflatable doll news out of China, our love of people who become geologists, and some spoilers about the upcoming London Olympics opening ceremonies (hint: we’ve heard a 100 acrobats are going to dress as Benny Hill and do that funny fast walk thing while an orchestra triumphantly plays Yackety-Sax).

The Desert Panther, Tony Consiglio, joins us once again, as we struggle to explain the Generation Gap. It’s actually quite interesting: Tony was given a test at his day job where the workers were given phrases, and had to identify which generation the speaker came from. I am not sure why the company thinks Tony can’t tell the difference between a Millennial and a Baby Boomer by noticing that one of them has grey hair and a paunchy belly and is 65 years old, and the other one has too much self-esteem. Either way, it’s a good quiz. Plus! A new story about someone sitting on a toilet for a long period of time.

Midtown Comics big-wig, and star of the upcoming National Geographic pilot, Comic Store Heroes, Thor Parker creeps into The Lair this week to explain to us how the show is not like The Big Bang Theory, and how he became a vegetarian for unrequited love, and then later became a vegan out of bitter spite. Plus, Mike can’t throw a wiffle-ball and Alex gets into an argument with some New York City firefighters.

It’s Slush Pile time, one of those special episodes where Mike and Alex clear away some of the discussion ideas that have been kicking around for a few months now, but have never made it into an actual show. Topics include The Devil Went Down To Georgia, Twitter, The X-Man Colossus, The Amish, overpraising our children, and the Sexuality of Superheroes.

The Desert Panther, Tony Consiglio, creep back into The Lair for a spirited discussion upon a wide-variety of topics. First, some warm-up chatter about sitting on the can too long vs. joining the Mile-High Club (I’m kicking myself for not making a joke about the dangers of joining the “Club” and accidentally hitting the toilet flusher, so just imagine I said something along those lines). Then each Panther has a question related to a movie they recently watched: Back to the Future II, Hall Pass, and Animal House respectively. Then, to close things out, a discussion about sex-toys which makes me think about how sometimes I get all delusional thinking this podcast should be well-regarded and award-winning. It shouldn’t. We’re the Worst. We deserve Nothing!

The Panthers are pleased to welcome John Kovalic back to The Lair for an hour-long episode that mostly circles around one very important topic: should Mike be throwing all of his childhood memories into the garbage as he settles into his new house? Should he hold on to early drawings? Diaries and journals? What about love-letters from past girlfriends? And what should he be doing with trophies and awards that are now almost 20 years old?
