DwarfCast 176 – The Smegazine Rack – Issue #14

About this episode

The episode concludes the coverage of Volume 1 of the Red Dwarf Smegazine, discussing various comic strips and related humor.

"Jane Killed Flick" It's the end of a relatively minor era, as we conclude our coverage of Volume 1 of the Red Dwarf Smegazine . Get ready for the cross-over event of the century, as one character from Back to Reality meets another character from Back to Reality, along with about fifty other comic strips of varying quality. We also uncover some scandalous censorship on the news pages, discuss Robert Llewellyn being sodomised by a rabbit, covet tiny cardboard models, deride one of the worst April Fools jokes of all time, and stalk a baby. It's quite the ride. We recommend reading along as you listen; you can find scans of the mag at archive.org or Stasis Leak . Show notes Buy The Thursday Man by Grant Naylor on Amazon! Robert Llewellyn on KYTV - with no actual sodomy, but plenty of slightly less rude antics Limmy and the paper aeroplane Book 'Em and Risk It , an accidentally topical G&TV Norman Lovett plays with his dolls house Cool to do drugs.
