In This Episode ... 

... probably more than you wanted to know about the physical effects of cold, but more than that, two exceptional comics that came in/through my mail/postbox in the past couple of weeks.

Also, apologies for some crackles and pops (I don't know what that's all about); and this one runs about five minutes too long. I'm sorry. There's a setting on your app that allows you to listen to this at a faster speed, so why not go ahead and use that if you're a bit fussy.

What do I talk about in episode 3?

First, Mahoney's, which is a tremendously funny romp into the evening happy-hour world of a bar where super villains spend their off hours when not threatening the world. Two genuine talents here: Richard Carrington and Brian Dawson. The Kickstarter for Mahoney's issue 2 is over, but who knows, they may have some issues to send your way.

Secondly, but not leastly, The Spark. What I forget to say in the Podcast, I think, is that due attention to a market of young readers is what will help buoy the comics industry, and wise creators would do well to take note. Also, and more importantly, I can't say enough good things about what Fairspark is doing, especially with regard to its charity partner, Little Heroes. Please donate.

Some of the creators involved in issue 1: Aaron Rackley; Dan Harris; Rob Barnes; Mike Dabrowski; Tom Sparke; Tony Esmond; and Vince Hunt. [All of those are Twitter handles].
