| 8/2/26 |  *TEASER* 179 - Now Let's Go to Hell | Full episode at patreon.com/thicklinespod. Katie and Sally return to complete a double header look at Kerascoët. This time we're looking at Satania from 2017, written by Fabien Vehlmann and illustrated by Kerascoët. Does it diverge from the duo's trajectory as pitch perfect fabulists? Let's find out together, in hell. Note: This episode was recorded on 7/8 before all Katie's events happened, but you can still order Heaven from Fantagraphics! (We're catching up!) Thank you to our Patreon subscribers for making this episode possible. | — | ||||||
