Rejected (Cartoon Cabal)

About this episode

The episode discusses the origins of Internet humor and Thomas Gorence's transition from Disney to creating content around conspiracy theories.

This short may be "ground zero" for Internet humor. Thomas moved from art direction at Disney World, to creating entertaining comic books, podcasts, and toys riffing on conspiracy theories. Check out his stuff here: https://www.paranoidamerican.com/ Please subscribe, review, and rate us on all the podcatchers. And if you're Scrooge McDuck, throw a bob out to Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastiopodcastius Matt makes lots of music. Brand new ones include the binaural head trip of "The Depths of Fieldation," and the acid-folk of "Into the Faerie Mound."
