    How did these two end up in that bank, with those guns? Because they seemed like such nice kids, right? Well, THE SEX POLICE have the same questions and descend on Susie and Jon. And we get the rest of Jon’s gory story — if you read ONE weird sex and time comedy comic this year, make sure it’s “My Sexual Errors 1998 — Present!”

      Awesome podcast! The 52 Omnibus is on my list of things to obtain at some point. Does anyone on the panel have the huge omnibus? I am considering it, but I’m worried about the binding.

      One minor nit-pick… Rodrigo, much as they do not speak Mexican in Mexico, they do not speak Chinese in China. Mandarin / Cantonese are the major dialects. I do understand it is a minor thing to point out, but it is one that my Chinese friends here in Vancouver have as a major pet peeve.

      Thanks again for the podcast! Enjoy Thanksgiving next week. I will miss having the podcast to listen to during my night shift.

      Thanks for covering partially one of my favorite comic book stories of all time, and hopefully you’ll do more of it. Honestly with 52 the initial six issues aren’t the best. On the plus side no matter how many times I reread this, I’ll always focus on a new part, and get more out of it.
