01:11:00 Listener Question – How do you read your comics?



Hey, guys! Thanks for reviewing NEAR DEATH. I just wanted to point out that I’m not in charge of RINGER. I’m on the writing staff, but I didn’t create the show and I’m nowhere near head writer. That would be Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder. I’m just happy to be part of it.
Near Death is a great comic, so always glad to talk about it!
Thanks for clarifying that point about Ringer, sir. I’ve probably got myself confused because you’re the only person on the production that I follow on Twitter. I should clarify that for all I rag on it, Ringer is on the must-watch pile in our house – I draw a comparison between it and 24 because they both satisfy similar immediate-pleasure-requirements, sacrificing just enough plausibility in the name of suspense and surprises.
(And whatever I say about SMG, she’s a good actress to wrap all of this intrigue around. We did just watch Buffy again so it’s comforting to see her on the small screen, and she’s very likeable as Bridget.)
Oh no, the video doesn’t work! “This video contains content from Comcast Entertainment Group, who has blocked it on copyright grounds”
Also, cheers for adding the song! I was inspired by Dave and the awesomeness of Comiket.
Thanks for the heads up, sir! Stupid Comcast! Video removed.
ALSO, no, thank YOU for the song. You weirdo…
Oh! Sorry! Pot? Kettle?
You almost certainly have something there.
