Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics

EPISODE 367 - We return to our special guest format and welcome comedy writer Joan Ford! Joan has written for several animated TV shows and is a long-time fan of Archie / Uncle Scrooge / Looney Toons comics. She has written and drawn very funny comics book in the "funny animal" style, albeit with adult themes: BIG TITTY TRANNY DUCK. It's about a trans duck who trades sex work for cigarettes. The book also features vignettes with BTTD's friends Anarcho-Otter and RageBate Rabbit. Joan is a trans woman though as her friend we hope the comic is biographical only in terms of being very fun and funny. We generally ask out guests to pick a comic to discuss. Joan chose PHONOGRAM, Volume 2, Issue 3. This is a comic where introduces a type of magician called Phonomancer - they can use recorded music to perform magic. It's a very dense, niche comment on music tastes and music journalism of the 2000s. For Loose Screws, Kevin discusses the Children of Time book series, Will discusses the baseball YouTube channel Red Seat Radio, and Joan talks about binging the 1980s TV show Beauty and the Beast. ------- Joan's instagram is @joanhaleyford - https://www.instagram.com/joanhaleyford/ Sop-scribe to support the show and for bonus episodes at https://www.screwitpodcasts.com/ There's link to our free Discord there too!
