00:00:02.020 --> 00:00:10.980
Tad Eggleston: Good afternoon, everybody. Good morning in Australia. Welcome back to the 22 panels, love and Rockets. Book Club.

2
00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:32.439
Tad Eggleston: I've got Maria. I've got Marisol. We don't have actual love and rockets to read, because we're in what I'm calling the in-between years. So so this stuff was originally published in Monelli and Luba and Luba and her family, and I think a couple other comics in there. But we're just going to read it out of the

3
00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:35.689
Tad Eggleston: compendiums, because that's just

4
00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:44.899
Tad Eggleston: way easier until we get to love and rockets. Volume 2. So do we want to start with Jaime, or do we want to start with

5
00:00:44.990 --> 00:00:52.710
Tad Eggleston: with Gilbert today, because it's it's even easier to decide where to start, because we have to go to different books, not different parts of the same book.

6
00:00:55.310 --> 00:01:04.300
Maria Pena: Yeah, I'm happy to start out of the way. Yeah, gonna do.

7
00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:07.859
Maria Pena: Oh, let's just do. Whoa, Nelly, I'll make a decision.

8
00:01:08.450 --> 00:01:10.990
Marisol: Whoa, Nelly, there was I, miss? Yeah.

9
00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:12.910
Maria Pena: That sounds good to me.

10
00:01:12.910 --> 00:01:25.130
Tad Eggleston: And what we're essentially doing is actually, it was published in the woe. Nelly, issue one in in

11
00:01:25.190 --> 00:01:29.120
Tad Eggleston: July of 1996.

12
00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:31.660
Tad Eggleston: So yeah.

13
00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:36.799
Maria Pena: It's too late. The Gabor Sisters.

14
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.580
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, it'sy and bitsy.

15
00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:40.800
Maria Pena: Yes.

16
00:01:41.820 --> 00:01:44.090
Marisol: I I like this page. It was so good

17
00:01:44.090 --> 00:01:46.880
Marisol: I do. It's the it's the see, all the different, restless.

18
00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:54.470
Tad Eggleston: Meet all the characters, except that you're not really meeting all of the characters, because most of these people aren't people that we'll spend any time with.

19
00:01:55.607 --> 00:01:56.379
Maria Pena: Except for Vicky.

20
00:01:56.380 --> 00:01:57.909
Marisol: Like the veterans. Page.

21
00:01:57.910 --> 00:01:58.440
Tad Eggleston: Right.

22
00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:02.010
Marisol: You see right, Rena and Vicki here, too.

23
00:02:02.010 --> 00:02:02.860
Tad Eggleston: Right, right.

24
00:02:02.860 --> 00:02:06.250
Maria Pena: Retainer, not Rena was a peanut girl.

25
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:07.420
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

26
00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:08.220
Marisol: Right.

27
00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:12.530
Maria Pena: Yeah. Well, yeah. Bravo, they're great.

28
00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:17.539
Marisol: Very, very muscled up. 19 forties, spin-up style.

29
00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:18.270
Tad Eggleston: Right.

30
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.900
Maria Pena: I can imagine Jaime looking at

31
00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:32.730
Maria Pena: magazines, or whatever of of female wrestlers, and loving the you know the the pictures I

32
00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:36.720
Maria Pena: like. Obviously his. His inspiration must be some kind of.

33
00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:39.339
Marisol: Wrestling magazines, or something.

34
00:02:43.370 --> 00:02:46.909
Tad Eggleston: I love Gina and Joe.

35
00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:48.830
Maria Pena: Yeah.

36
00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:56.679
Tad Eggleston: They're just so fun together. I love how much they're friends, and then they try to be mean because they're pitted against each other.

37
00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:00.220
Tad Eggleston: They sometimes break character.

38
00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:05.450
Tad Eggleston: You could see the grin here and the grin there.

39
00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:11.520
Maria Pena: And it's kind of emphasized.

40
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.360
Marisol: So they're having fun with it, though.

41
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:14.050
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

42
00:03:14.050 --> 00:03:14.820
Maria Pena: Yeah.

43
00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:19.380
Maria Pena: The fact that it's a you know. It's a bit of a performance. There.

44
00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:31.770
Tad Eggleston: And I love. I mean, we were talking about a bit off air, you know Jaime's mastery of character, and and the way he can draw

45
00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:40.869
Tad Eggleston: such different shapes and such different positions, and always have it look like it's dead on right.

46
00:03:42.310 --> 00:03:42.640
Maria Pena: Yeah.

47
00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:43.130
Marisol: And he.

48
00:03:43.130 --> 00:03:51.870
Maria Pena: You know his consistency, and you know you can tell show, even if she's upside down, or, you know, getting body slammed.

49
00:03:52.345 --> 00:03:57.710
Maria Pena: And Gina, and they have different. So it's got a body shape for both of them.

50
00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:01.420
Maria Pena: Regina's got wide hair, hips and stuff, and.

51
00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:02.230
Marisol: Interesting.

52
00:04:02.230 --> 00:04:05.590
Maria Pena: Color and show it small and and round out.

53
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.259
Maria Pena: and just the way he consistently keeps his drawings to on model. It's just

54
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.310
Maria Pena: it's really difficult to do, and he does it really massively.

55
00:04:17.310 --> 00:04:19.729
Marisol: Yeah, no, the consistency is admirable.

56
00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:28.629
Marisol: So that seems like it would be one of the hardest things to do. Like as issues keep going.

57
00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:30.570
Maria Pena: Yeah.

58
00:04:30.570 --> 00:04:32.600
Marisol: Especially if you're doing all the stuff by hand.

59
00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:36.680
Marisol: A lot of work.

60
00:04:37.655 --> 00:04:37.850
Marisol: Heck!

61
00:04:37.850 --> 00:04:38.640
Maria Pena: Yes, it is.

62
00:04:38.640 --> 00:04:43.379
Tad Eggleston: And it's also so weird to see Vicky in a skirt suit.

63
00:04:44.030 --> 00:04:44.450
Marisol: Right.

64
00:04:45.386 --> 00:04:47.260
Maria Pena: Short hair.

65
00:04:47.260 --> 00:04:49.590
Marisol: In this case like that's not Vicki.

66
00:04:50.049 --> 00:04:50.510
Tad Eggleston: No.

67
00:04:50.510 --> 00:04:52.445
Marisol: Oh, that's not Mickey!

68
00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:54.020
Maria Pena: And.

69
00:04:56.220 --> 00:05:03.049
Tad Eggleston: And that that like devilish grin, and she's telling them to hate each other.

70
00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:06.520
Tad Eggleston: And they're just like, okay.

71
00:05:09.890 --> 00:05:10.499
Maria Pena: Yeah, they have.

72
00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:11.593
Marisol: Thank you.

73
00:05:12.140 --> 00:05:14.970
Maria Pena: The charade going the charade.

74
00:05:15.950 --> 00:05:18.480
Maria Pena: You know of the the wrestling.

75
00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:26.205
Maria Pena: I love that guy with the Hawaiian shirt and the hair. Yeah, but you see it.

76
00:05:29.940 --> 00:05:30.786
Maria Pena: It's just

77
00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:37.977
Maria Pena: oh, he reminds me of

78
00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:40.770
Maria Pena: of the chimney. To be honest.

79
00:05:41.290 --> 00:05:41.910
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

80
00:05:42.250 --> 00:05:48.680
Maria Pena: Or so this character, and then there's some great.

81
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:49.250
Marisol: Yeah, and then.

82
00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:50.760
Maria Pena: For sleeping steps.

83
00:05:51.550 --> 00:05:52.220
Tad Eggleston: So did you?

84
00:05:52.220 --> 00:05:55.330
Tad Eggleston: Did Joe win, or did Gina throw it?

85
00:05:55.830 --> 00:05:57.440
Tad Eggleston: That's my question.

86
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.020
Tad Eggleston: Gina insists that Joe Joe is just on fire.

87
00:06:01.750 --> 00:06:02.130
Maria Pena: Oh!

88
00:06:02.130 --> 00:06:02.699
Tad Eggleston: But what.

89
00:06:02.700 --> 00:06:04.070
Marisol: I think, Jean, that's on your back.

90
00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:05.720
Tad Eggleston: You think she threw it.

91
00:06:06.170 --> 00:06:07.670
Marisol: I think she threw them at.

92
00:06:09.510 --> 00:06:15.569
Marisol: because, like everyone like Vicki and them have been open up Gina's talent, and we've seen her fight.

93
00:06:16.170 --> 00:06:17.380
Maria Pena: The.

94
00:06:17.670 --> 00:06:20.999
Tad Eggleston: Only reason, I wonder.

95
00:06:22.320 --> 00:06:27.630
Tad Eggleston: is if she did. She's doing a way better job of acting than she did the last time.

96
00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:36.549
Maria Pena: No, yeah, but they're all smiles at the like later on. You know that. So it is all

97
00:06:36.590 --> 00:06:37.770
Maria Pena: acting. Yeah.

98
00:06:37.770 --> 00:06:43.910
Tad Eggleston: But in their last fight they both have smiles at various times in this fight.

99
00:06:44.190 --> 00:06:45.749
Tad Eggleston: Only Zhoe does.

100
00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:48.759
Tad Eggleston: Gina Gina looks in pain.

101
00:06:49.640 --> 00:06:57.840
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, in like every frame, I mean she's massaging her arm at the end like.

102
00:06:58.220 --> 00:07:00.790
Maria Pena: You were holding back. Gina, yeah.

103
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:03.550
Tad Eggleston: So.

104
00:07:03.550 --> 00:07:07.949
Maria Pena: So. Yeah, Vicky, Glory is pissed off because she didn't.

105
00:07:07.950 --> 00:07:09.770
Tad Eggleston: Oh, of course, because now she's got a.

106
00:07:09.770 --> 00:07:10.140
Maria Pena: Was.

107
00:07:10.140 --> 00:07:11.440
Tad Eggleston: Fight her niece.

108
00:07:12.550 --> 00:07:14.709
Maria Pena: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

109
00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:22.059
Marisol: Yeah. And Vicki did not hold back.

110
00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:26.100
Marisol: Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no!

111
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:26.790
Marisol: But it's.

112
00:07:29.430 --> 00:07:31.660
Maria Pena: Teaching her a lesson like it is so.

113
00:07:31.660 --> 00:07:32.030
Tad Eggleston: Right.

114
00:07:32.030 --> 00:07:32.670
Maria Pena: So.

115
00:07:33.250 --> 00:07:47.440
Tad Eggleston: And when did they get rid of the suit? And I mean this, this page was a little weird to me. Top. They still have the leather jacket and and the shirt and vest on, and the very next panel they're gone.

116
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:56.719
Maria Pena: No, no, because that's before the fight, you know, when they're still kind of. And then Vicky's kind of gone for her before, like I think she's gonna.

117
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.060
Tad Eggleston: Before the bell even rang. Okay, I see how.

118
00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:01.190
Maria Pena: Maybe oh.

119
00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:11.280
Maria Pena: or sometimes I guess sometimes they start, and they might throw the jackets off, or whatever they might start with, with more layers you know as well.

120
00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:14.680
Tad Eggleston: Do not think I would want to be swung around by my hair.

121
00:08:16.366 --> 00:08:17.083
Maria Pena: Know.

122
00:08:18.510 --> 00:08:20.980
Marisol: Oh, God, no! That sounds atrocious!

123
00:08:22.830 --> 00:08:23.320
Maria Pena: Oh, boy!

124
00:08:23.320 --> 00:08:24.350
Marisol: Look at her. She is full.

125
00:08:24.350 --> 00:08:25.900
Maria Pena: It's really big one.

126
00:08:27.030 --> 00:08:27.380
Marisol: Oh!

127
00:08:27.380 --> 00:08:29.993
Maria Pena: Their arms, and so

128
00:08:30.620 --> 00:08:31.360
Maria Pena: They believe.

129
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.509
Marisol: I'm amazed. Saul didn't lose any hair.

130
00:08:40.990 --> 00:08:42.010
Tad Eggleston: And.

131
00:08:42.010 --> 00:08:42.510
Maria Pena: But like.

132
00:08:42.510 --> 00:08:43.940
Tad Eggleston: Feel like they're kind.

133
00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:44.680
Maria Pena: Throughout.

134
00:08:44.830 --> 00:08:50.250
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I feel like they're very kind not to give us the second after this bottom panel.

135
00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:52.166
Maria Pena: Yeah, yeah.

136
00:08:52.730 --> 00:08:54.430
Marisol: Oh, yeah, cause you know, you know.

137
00:08:54.430 --> 00:08:58.049
Tad Eggleston: Doesn't feel like anything good is about to happen. There.

138
00:08:58.050 --> 00:09:02.729
Marisol: No, whatever was gonna be next that had to be brutal.

139
00:09:02.730 --> 00:09:12.120
Tad Eggleston: Right, and and like enough, this one, the the I like oof.

140
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.130
Marisol: How.

141
00:09:17.150 --> 00:09:18.580
Maria Pena: I'm sure that move has.

142
00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:18.930
Marisol: I don't know.

143
00:09:18.930 --> 00:09:19.980
Maria Pena: Name, like.

144
00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:22.739
Tad Eggleston: I mean, that's 1 way to crack it back.

145
00:09:23.800 --> 00:09:24.460
Marisol: Oh, yeah.

146
00:09:24.710 --> 00:09:26.070
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I mean.

147
00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:27.950
Marisol: Vicious.

148
00:09:27.950 --> 00:09:31.979
Tad Eggleston: Maybe this is just like a fancy massage.

149
00:09:32.150 --> 00:09:34.720
Tad Eggleston: She's loosening up all of her muscles.

150
00:09:35.430 --> 00:09:38.976
Maria Pena: Or or elbowing her in the kidneys.

151
00:09:39.420 --> 00:09:41.340
Tad Eggleston: Tearing them off. Maybe.

152
00:09:44.140 --> 00:09:46.200
Maria Pena: And there's the classic. But.

153
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:46.700
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

154
00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:49.320
Maria Pena: Yeah, through the other thing.

155
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:50.710
Tad Eggleston: Of them.

156
00:09:50.790 --> 00:09:59.040
Maria Pena: Great great stuff. She's really pubbling. Show. There, that's it!

157
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:00.069
Tad Eggleston: This is one of my favorite.

158
00:10:00.070 --> 00:10:01.250
Tad Eggleston: Hello, though.

159
00:10:01.250 --> 00:10:05.939
Maria Pena: That's a great battle, Gina, carrying Scholager.

160
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:12.799
Tad Eggleston: And and and show's not angry or upset. She's just yeah. I think we gave them their money's worth.

161
00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:19.099
Maria Pena: Don't ever wrestle felony again. We got that angry.

162
00:10:25.850 --> 00:10:30.830
Tad Eggleston: Is, the conversation with her son is so hilarious.

163
00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:32.400
Marisol: It is hurricane.

164
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.669
Tad Eggleston: Isn't the the bad guy supposed to lose?

165
00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:40.749
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, why'd you beat the good guy.

166
00:10:42.690 --> 00:10:44.900
Maria Pena: Well, well, do you?

167
00:10:45.380 --> 00:10:47.660
Maria Pena: Yeah. Ricky was meant to be the bad guy.

168
00:10:47.660 --> 00:10:53.279
Tad Eggleston: You were the good guy against Tiavicki. Why, why did you lose? And why were they booing you.

169
00:10:56.370 --> 00:10:59.010
Maria Pena: And at the end of the day he still doesn't get it.

170
00:10:59.830 --> 00:11:00.530
Tad Eggleston: Right.

171
00:11:07.290 --> 00:11:14.272
Maria Pena: And then show and gina gonna tech team against these little ladies.

172
00:11:14.730 --> 00:11:17.099
Tad Eggleston: They're such fangirls, too.

173
00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:18.440
Maria Pena: Yeah.

174
00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:25.580
Tad Eggleston: Were your opponents tonight unworthy opponents, I might add, we know

175
00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:32.030
Tad Eggleston: it's so perfect to go from that to to bing bing! And just like the chair to the bed

176
00:11:32.030 --> 00:11:33.605
Tad Eggleston: back in there, and.

177
00:11:35.420 --> 00:11:40.010
Maria Pena: Yeah, see, they're they're fighting with their jackets. I bet the jackets come up later.

178
00:11:41.625 --> 00:11:45.909
Maria Pena: Cause it's just part of the you know, when they get they they heat up

179
00:11:46.310 --> 00:11:47.799
Maria Pena: the jackets come off.

180
00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:50.470
Maria Pena: So yeah, see, the Jaggers are off now.

181
00:11:50.470 --> 00:11:51.190
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

182
00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:56.500
Maria Pena: This is some convention from wrestling that we don't know. But yeah.

183
00:11:57.430 --> 00:11:58.530
Tad Eggleston: I love this.

184
00:11:58.944 --> 00:12:00.189
Maria Pena: With all, yeah.

185
00:12:00.850 --> 00:12:04.749
Tad Eggleston: This spiral here to indicate that her head is ringing.

186
00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:05.840
Maria Pena: Yeah.

187
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:06.380
Marisol: Oh, yeah.

188
00:12:06.380 --> 00:12:09.229
Tad Eggleston: At least I feel like that's what it's supposed to indicate.

189
00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:14.640
Maria Pena: Yeah, it's like, like the vertigo graphics.

190
00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:15.090
Tad Eggleston: Right.

191
00:12:15.590 --> 00:12:16.080
Maria Pena: Right.

192
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:16.970
Marisol: So.

193
00:12:16.970 --> 00:12:20.353
Maria Pena: The movie vertical, I mean, not not the comics.

194
00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:25.769
Maria Pena: And then we got a a little history.

195
00:12:25.770 --> 00:12:27.810
Tad Eggleston: And then the quick flashback.

196
00:12:27.810 --> 00:12:28.690
Maria Pena: Show.

197
00:12:29.170 --> 00:12:31.579
Tad Eggleston: Right was her babysitter.

198
00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:32.640
Maria Pena: And Gina.

199
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:40.800
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. And Gina moved away, but then came back when she was 15, to say, Remember, we were going to wrestle together.

200
00:12:43.330 --> 00:12:45.570
Tad Eggleston: Then they lied about her age.

201
00:12:48.950 --> 00:12:49.360
Maria Pena: Yeah.

202
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:53.050
Marisol: So how much younger than so is Gina.

203
00:12:54.090 --> 00:12:56.529
Tad Eggleston: I would guess at least 10 years.

204
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.839
Maria Pena: No, not necessarily.

205
00:13:02.430 --> 00:13:02.940
Maria Pena: You think.

206
00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:04.830
Tad Eggleston: I mean, because this looks like.

207
00:13:05.870 --> 00:13:07.349
Maria Pena: I mean she could have been 50.

208
00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:08.880
Tad Eggleston: She was 13.

209
00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:11.670
Maria Pena: She was 13. Okay? And Gina.

210
00:13:11.670 --> 00:13:13.320
Marisol: Started babysitting them. Yeah.

211
00:13:13.990 --> 00:13:15.149
Tad Eggleston: And Gina was the oldest.

212
00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:15.500
Maria Pena: And then.

213
00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:20.750
Tad Eggleston: Kids, but she doesn't look like she's more than 5. So maybe 8 years.

214
00:13:21.230 --> 00:13:21.685
Maria Pena: Yeah.

215
00:13:26.550 --> 00:13:31.179
Maria Pena: she's 13. Yeah, okay, yeah, it goes to.

216
00:13:31.180 --> 00:13:32.880
Tad Eggleston: I like the tooth was.

217
00:13:32.890 --> 00:13:37.750
Tad Eggleston: She might actually be 6, because she's missing the middle teeth. You generally don't.

218
00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:38.290
Marisol: Losing.

219
00:13:38.290 --> 00:13:44.280
Tad Eggleston: Your teeth in kindergarten is surely like 1st and second grade, that you're losing all your.

220
00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:46.230
Maria Pena: 2, 6, or 7, 7, or 8.

221
00:13:46.230 --> 00:13:47.540
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

222
00:13:47.540 --> 00:13:48.260
Maria Pena: That we need it.

223
00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.859
Tad Eggleston: This one just looks painful.

224
00:14:01.250 --> 00:14:02.550
Marisol: Oh, yeah.

225
00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:06.849
Maria Pena: That is, 2 against one.

226
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:23.259
Tad Eggleston: Which I think is against the rules, but they don't seem to be. I've also noticed the few times that I've ever watched tag team wrestling that whatever rules there might be about you're supposed to like tag out and switch and whatnot, it really doesn't work that way. Might as well.

227
00:14:23.260 --> 00:14:32.840
Maria Pena: No, especially if they're rudos, meaning, if they're bad guys, they're like to to break the rules.

228
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:37.199
Tad Eggleston: Why is Joe like following the rules? She's on the other side of the.

229
00:14:37.890 --> 00:14:39.890
Maria Pena: Because they're the good guys, you know.

230
00:14:39.890 --> 00:14:40.570
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

231
00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:44.939
Maria Pena: That's the it's like an archetype, you know, like.

232
00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:48.849
Maria Pena: follow the rules, and the bad guys break the rules.

233
00:14:49.290 --> 00:14:50.100
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

234
00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:55.840
Maria Pena: You know they're both kind of kicking shows as oh, man.

235
00:14:56.050 --> 00:14:59.609
Tad Eggleston: Well, with Gina lying on the canvas. There.

236
00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:01.780
Maria Pena: Yeah.

237
00:15:08.970 --> 00:15:09.669
Tad Eggleston: Oh, that's.

238
00:15:09.670 --> 00:15:13.919
Maria Pena: This is weird, good, or you know the

239
00:15:13.930 --> 00:15:16.690
Maria Pena: the towel around her neck and.

240
00:15:16.690 --> 00:15:18.210
Marisol: Now Gina's down.

241
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:23.738
Maria Pena: Yeah, and she's getting a thai massage there.

242
00:15:26.390 --> 00:15:27.460
Marisol: Ouch!

243
00:15:28.550 --> 00:15:29.510
Maria Pena: Oh, man!

244
00:15:31.350 --> 00:15:33.220
Tad Eggleston: I also love this panel.

245
00:15:34.520 --> 00:15:36.360
Tad Eggleston: This page is great

246
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:43.809
Tad Eggleston: to go from, and this, I think, is the last one that we're really doing for today. But but this, the the progression on this.

247
00:15:43.810 --> 00:15:44.820
Maria Pena: Locker room.

248
00:15:45.260 --> 00:15:50.959
Tad Eggleston: The the the days in the locker room

249
00:15:51.170 --> 00:15:54.510
Tad Eggleston: talk to you later as Gina goes to the showers

250
00:15:54.920 --> 00:16:05.210
Tad Eggleston: cut to Joe making or serving dinner and Gina in class, and then Vicky, with the kids.

251
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:06.850
Maria Pena: Yeah.

252
00:16:06.850 --> 00:16:08.100
Tad Eggleston: Messing around at the bottom.

253
00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:08.970
Maria Pena: Maggie.

254
00:16:08.970 --> 00:16:11.529
Tad Eggleston: It's just yeah. That's just such a.

255
00:16:13.890 --> 00:16:16.159
Tad Eggleston: It's like everything in microcosm.

256
00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:18.150
Maria Pena: Yeah.

257
00:16:19.310 --> 00:16:19.940
Tad Eggleston: Which is why.

258
00:16:19.940 --> 00:16:20.700
Maria Pena: That makes sense.

259
00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:25.240
Tad Eggleston: Pretty certain it was the end, the 1st issue.

260
00:16:25.550 --> 00:16:28.119
Tad Eggleston: But I kind of had to guess, because

261
00:16:28.370 --> 00:16:32.029
Tad Eggleston: they don't tell you when wonelly 2 starts.

262
00:16:32.420 --> 00:16:34.060
Maria Pena: Oh, I.

263
00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:36.259
Tad Eggleston: This felt like a good stopping point.

264
00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:39.630
Maria Pena: Let me check, because I've got we're nearly.

265
00:16:39.630 --> 00:16:40.270
Tad Eggleston: Oh!

266
00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:44.169
Maria Pena: Got the actual issue somewhere.

267
00:16:47.990 --> 00:16:48.870
Maria Pena: Damn.

268
00:16:51.520 --> 00:16:55.520
Marisol: This was a cute little bottom panel here on this page, with Vicki wrestling the kids.

269
00:16:58.180 --> 00:16:59.790
Tad Eggleston: I honestly think that this.

270
00:16:59.790 --> 00:17:00.900
Maria Pena: Too, but.

271
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:08.219
Tad Eggleston: So so many great panels overall. But I think my my winner

272
00:17:08.829 --> 00:17:11.809
Tad Eggleston: for for Jaime is just this last page

273
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.559
Tad Eggleston: you got your background on so I can't see.

274
00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:20.692
Maria Pena: Yeah. Okay, the. The end of the issue was the 2 ladies.

275
00:17:22.490 --> 00:17:23.310
Marisol: Oh, okay.

276
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.219
Maria Pena: The beginning of the fight with the 2 already actually.

277
00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:28.750
Tad Eggleston: Oh, the beginning of the fight with the 2 old ladies.

278
00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:30.520
Marisol: Yeah, let me just turn it.

279
00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:32.280
Marisol: Oh, I'm past it.

280
00:17:33.340 --> 00:17:35.880
Tad Eggleston: So this was the end of the issue, or.

281
00:17:37.820 --> 00:17:42.140
Maria Pena: Oh, sorry. Yeah, there, let's see it as well.

282
00:17:42.140 --> 00:17:42.990
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

283
00:17:44.410 --> 00:17:45.140
Maria Pena: Yes.

284
00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:50.310
Tad Eggleston: That's also a good ending point, just as you ring the bell and go from them.

285
00:17:50.320 --> 00:17:57.380
Tad Eggleston: them making jokes about their they're old hairstyles to.

286
00:17:59.670 --> 00:18:01.210
Marisol: And the rest is kicked.

287
00:18:01.630 --> 00:18:02.159
Tad Eggleston: Getting there?

288
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.240
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

289
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.909
Maria Pena: Speaking there. Yeah.

290
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.500
Tad Eggleston: You're talking about them being inspirational and then getting their asses kicked.

291
00:18:09.870 --> 00:18:12.190
Tad Eggleston: That's a that's also a good good

292
00:18:12.430 --> 00:18:14.480
Tad Eggleston: good spot to end a comic.

293
00:18:15.510 --> 00:18:21.940
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Oh, yeah, I mean, Jaime's had some wrestling

294
00:18:22.110 --> 00:18:28.690
Tad Eggleston: already, but this was definitely the the 1st story where he just went all in

295
00:18:28.840 --> 00:18:31.769
Tad Eggleston: all, wrestling all the time, and like.

296
00:18:32.530 --> 00:18:36.569
Tad Eggleston: He shows his talent so well. I also think it's interesting.

297
00:18:36.660 --> 00:18:41.399
Tad Eggleston: and I wonder if it if it was just a time thing, or if

298
00:18:45.450 --> 00:18:50.530
Tad Eggleston: it was to emphasize the action. He really doesn't show a crowd.

299
00:18:51.650 --> 00:18:53.280
Tad Eggleston: It's like the wrestling.

300
00:18:53.330 --> 00:18:56.639
Tad Eggleston: It's like they're wrestling in a dark room.

301
00:18:58.020 --> 00:19:05.596
Maria Pena: Well, it's you know. I think it's just design, you know. You don't want to distract

302
00:19:06.070 --> 00:19:06.490
Tad Eggleston: What I meant.

303
00:19:06.490 --> 00:19:09.359
Maria Pena: Very graphic images, you know, like.

304
00:19:09.570 --> 00:19:10.900
Tad Eggleston: I mean, there are just a couple.

305
00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:12.169
Maria Pena: The the credit doesn't matter.

306
00:19:12.170 --> 00:19:14.399
Tad Eggleston: This one right here, you get the crowd.

307
00:19:15.010 --> 00:19:18.390
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, the beginning of the Vicky match.

308
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:25.240
Tad Eggleston: Actually, that's funny. The Vicky match it looks like all of them have crowd and or white.

309
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.569
Maria Pena: It's like a daytime daytime.

310
00:19:27.570 --> 00:19:28.290
Marisol: Oh!

311
00:19:28.290 --> 00:19:29.849
Maria Pena: Match, I guess, or something.

312
00:19:33.850 --> 00:19:38.070
Tad Eggleston: Whereas the other 2 matches it's like they're in a

313
00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:44.440
Tad Eggleston: dark room where the only light is on stage or on on.

314
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:45.699
Maria Pena: And it looks so good.

315
00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:47.030
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

316
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.310
Maria Pena: You know.

317
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.380
Marisol: I don't like it that way, though.

318
00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:55.900
Tad Eggleston: I do, too, on the market side.

319
00:19:55.900 --> 00:20:03.659
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I literally just noticed that that. Oh, wow! It's just a black background outside the ropes.

320
00:20:05.213 --> 00:20:05.856
Marisol: Yeah.

321
00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:15.620
Tad Eggleston: So good.

322
00:20:15.620 --> 00:20:24.599
Maria Pena: So see that that back, that that history of the 2 girls. That's where the next

323
00:20:26.360 --> 00:20:29.456
Maria Pena: so it's the beginning of the next? Not that.

324
00:20:30.150 --> 00:20:38.489
Maria Pena: Well, this, how come? Yeah, yeah, that's the beginning of the next issue.

325
00:20:39.410 --> 00:20:40.290
Marisol: Oh!

326
00:20:40.450 --> 00:20:46.440
Maria Pena: Funnily enough. That's funny, that page those 2 pages.

327
00:20:46.730 --> 00:20:47.020
Marisol: Okay.

328
00:20:47.630 --> 00:20:52.992
Maria Pena: Are before the the the start of the fight with the 2 ladies.

329
00:20:53.340 --> 00:20:53.990
Tad Eggleston: Okay.

330
00:20:53.990 --> 00:20:57.599
Maria Pena: In the issue. So the so this starts with a

331
00:20:58.100 --> 00:21:03.030
Maria Pena: back back in time thing of the of Gina and show. And then

332
00:21:03.040 --> 00:21:06.065
Maria Pena: we see the continuation of the

333
00:21:06.570 --> 00:21:07.110
Marisol: Hmm.

334
00:21:07.110 --> 00:21:09.200
Maria Pena: The match with the old ladies.

335
00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:11.550
Tad Eggleston: Gotcha.

336
00:21:11.550 --> 00:21:16.680
Maria Pena: Yeah. Oh, that it's back to front on there, isn't it? It's the other way around.

337
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:25.150
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, there's 2 pages of bite here and then.

338
00:21:25.150 --> 00:21:26.169
Maria Pena: Yeah, that's it.

339
00:21:26.170 --> 00:21:30.359
Tad Eggleston: The 2 pages of Flashback, and then back to the fight.

340
00:21:30.890 --> 00:21:38.790
Maria Pena: Oh, I see here, I think he's added. They've added. He's added page extra pages.

341
00:21:38.790 --> 00:21:42.416
Tad Eggleston: They? They have been known to do that.

342
00:21:42.870 --> 00:21:43.380
Maria Pena: Yeah.

343
00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:44.300
Marisol: Okay.

344
00:21:44.300 --> 00:21:48.160
Tad Eggleston: And and Jaime drawing more wrestling.

345
00:21:48.210 --> 00:21:55.190
Tad Eggleston: No, I can't imagine that that doesn't. That doesn't feel like Jaime.

346
00:21:58.340 --> 00:22:00.000
Marisol: No way.

347
00:22:04.030 --> 00:22:09.920
Tad Eggleston: So yeah, so many, so much good stuff, so much good stuff.

348
00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:13.720
Tad Eggleston: Shall we look at some.

349
00:22:14.630 --> 00:22:17.998
Marisol: Yeah, he's got an extra page.

350
00:22:19.250 --> 00:22:20.170
Maria Pena: Alright!

351
00:22:21.620 --> 00:22:25.580
Tad Eggleston: There is my Luba.

352
00:22:25.890 --> 00:22:27.130
Tad Eggleston: There we go.

353
00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:37.230
Tad Eggleston: So the parts we're reading here, I think, came from

354
00:22:42.090 --> 00:22:47.440
Tad Eggleston: Some of it is from New love number one.

355
00:22:48.250 --> 00:22:55.490
Tad Eggleston: and some of it is from New Love number 2,

356
00:22:59.120 --> 00:23:01.819
Tad Eggleston: and some of us from New Love number 3.

357
00:23:01.970 --> 00:23:04.940
Tad Eggleston: There are also a number of non,

358
00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:12.470
Tad Eggleston: none.

359
00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:20.490
Tad Eggleston: Luba and her family stories that were in particularly New love number 2.

360
00:23:21.080 --> 00:23:26.130
Tad Eggleston: So we might have to read some comics dementia at some point just to get some of those

361
00:23:26.670 --> 00:23:28.150
Tad Eggleston: other stories.

362
00:23:29.270 --> 00:23:37.389
Tad Eggleston: But okay, here here we got to to 1st meet the the Dora Leash show.

363
00:23:37.840 --> 00:23:39.680
Tad Eggleston: Have we had any of these show.

364
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:42.400
Maria Pena: Drawn in 2,000. No.

365
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:46.699
Marisol: We had some of it in a different issue after she started working with people.

366
00:23:48.790 --> 00:23:49.080
Maria Pena: But.

367
00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:49.770
Tad Eggleston: What?

368
00:23:49.770 --> 00:23:53.110
Maria Pena: No, there was something. Yeah, we we yeah.

369
00:23:54.460 --> 00:23:57.450
Tad Eggleston: Just barely started and.

370
00:23:57.450 --> 00:23:58.150
Marisol: In our last.

371
00:23:58.150 --> 00:23:59.080
Tad Eggleston: Issues.

372
00:24:00.050 --> 00:24:02.779
Maria Pena: So this was drawn in 2,001, though.

373
00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:11.430
Tad Eggleston: Oh, well, this this is probably his, his addition, then, to this.

374
00:24:11.510 --> 00:24:14.159
Marisol: Because I know that this is part of.

375
00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:17.209
Tad Eggleston: And the Venus from.

376
00:24:20.770 --> 00:24:25.800
Maria Pena: And this one here world of Venus is 2,011.

377
00:24:26.380 --> 00:24:29.919
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Okay. So he completely reordered stuff.

378
00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:36.950
Maria Pena: Yeah. And then, and then we get through letters from Venus, which is around the era that we're reading, which is 95.

379
00:24:36.950 --> 00:24:37.770
Tad Eggleston: Right?

380
00:24:39.340 --> 00:24:45.250
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I didn't beto just not making it easy for us that that's what he knows.

381
00:24:45.250 --> 00:24:47.670
Tad Eggleston: just not making it easy for us.

382
00:24:48.540 --> 00:24:49.760
Marisol: Not allowed.

383
00:24:53.910 --> 00:24:57.149
Maria Pena: So I read both.

384
00:24:58.780 --> 00:25:00.339
Maria Pena: Yeah, I do love.

385
00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:00.980
Tad Eggleston: The comic shop.

386
00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.660
Maria Pena: Maybe.

387
00:25:02.870 --> 00:25:04.400
Tad Eggleston: The shit those 2.

388
00:25:04.820 --> 00:25:05.620
Marisol: Yeah.

389
00:25:05.620 --> 00:25:07.850
Maria Pena: That guy in the garment shop.

390
00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:14.779
Maria Pena: He's a real person, isn't he? He's based on someone who.

391
00:25:14.780 --> 00:25:15.200
Tad Eggleston: Is he?

392
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:19.460
Maria Pena: Existed. Yeah, I've seen him before

393
00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:24.050
Maria Pena: like that. That guy with the beard.

394
00:25:24.270 --> 00:25:37.950
Maria Pena: He's based on someone, is it William Gaines, or someone publisher? Alright founder of something a famous.

395
00:25:39.153 --> 00:25:39.680
Tad Eggleston: Let me.

396
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:40.570
Marisol: Value.

397
00:25:42.600 --> 00:25:47.730
Tad Eggleston: I don't know if I'd go. Gaines Gaines had a much bigger beard.

398
00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:55.220
Maria Pena: And by this time was already an older man, because Gaines was Ec. And mad magazine.

399
00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:58.020
Maria Pena: Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, of course.

400
00:25:58.870 --> 00:26:04.150
Maria Pena: But he looks. He looks like he's based on a real person in a.

401
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:09.320
Tad Eggleston: Well, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them are at least somewhat based on real people.

402
00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:16.470
Maria Pena: Hmm, so which which story shall we discuss today?

403
00:26:17.130 --> 00:26:28.940
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I thought we were gonna go in the beginning until right before the new Venus.

404
00:26:32.870 --> 00:26:33.235
Maria Pena: Okay.

405
00:26:36.530 --> 00:26:37.839
Maria Pena: Alright, let's go there.

406
00:26:38.195 --> 00:26:39.970
Tad Eggleston: We've got letters from Venus.

407
00:26:40.250 --> 00:26:41.500
Tad Eggleston: We've got.

408
00:26:42.850 --> 00:26:43.910
Maria Pena: The release of show.

409
00:26:43.910 --> 00:26:49.849
Tad Eggleston: Frankentine's grave, whatever they wound up, calling that world of Venus. Yeah.

410
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:54.010
Maria Pena: Okay.

411
00:26:56.020 --> 00:27:03.480
Tad Eggleston: I do kind of like that. This PIN up essentially of Venus playing with dolls of her family.

412
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:06.439
Maria Pena: All the all, the all the characters. Yeah.

413
00:27:06.620 --> 00:27:07.460
Tad Eggleston: Right.

414
00:27:09.790 --> 00:27:14.450
Marisol: All the people she interacts with, because we also see some of her friends and the comic book guy in there.

415
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:15.800
Tad Eggleston: Right.

416
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:32.259
Maria Pena: All right, Dora. Lisa's show. Shall we.

417
00:27:32.420 --> 00:27:34.529
Tad Eggleston: I wonder if some of this was

418
00:27:34.660 --> 00:27:38.020
Tad Eggleston: well, Dora Lisa's show is really just that 1st page.

419
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:40.890
Maria Pena: Oh, at least.

420
00:27:40.890 --> 00:27:44.430
Tad Eggleston: Here, there, there'll be more later.

421
00:27:47.290 --> 00:27:49.890
Marisol: For now it's all about Venus.

422
00:27:49.890 --> 00:27:51.680
Tad Eggleston: This this 1st day.

423
00:27:52.620 --> 00:27:54.580
Tad Eggleston: It's time for El Short.

424
00:27:55.390 --> 00:27:58.950
Tad Eggleston: I mean, it'd be. Another interesting question at some point

425
00:27:59.150 --> 00:28:07.460
Tad Eggleston: is how the brothers decided to order their particularly their library editions.

426
00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:08.760
Marisol: Their trades. Yeah.

427
00:28:08.760 --> 00:28:12.239
Tad Eggleston: The other. The other trade paperbacks tend to be more

428
00:28:13.130 --> 00:28:21.049
Tad Eggleston: like one concise storyline through one smaller set of comics.

429
00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:24.800
Maria Pena: But the trades. There's stuff, added.

430
00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:35.699
Tad Eggleston: I mean. I almost wonder if this 2,011 story was added for the for the library edition.

431
00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:36.820
Marisol: Oh!

432
00:28:36.820 --> 00:28:37.460
Maria Pena: Hmm.

433
00:28:38.540 --> 00:28:39.510
Marisol: Good question.

434
00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:41.310
Maria Pena: Could have been.

435
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:45.820
Maria Pena: I mean, it's very random.

436
00:28:45.820 --> 00:28:46.390
Maria Pena: Yeah.

437
00:28:46.390 --> 00:28:48.860
Maria Pena: You know the world of Venus right?

438
00:28:48.860 --> 00:28:50.590
Tad Eggleston: Einstein's grave.

439
00:28:52.250 --> 00:28:54.133
Maria Pena: And the weird baby, the

440
00:28:54.510 --> 00:28:55.040
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

441
00:28:55.850 --> 00:28:57.725
Maria Pena: That was really fucking weird.

442
00:28:58.100 --> 00:29:01.830
Tad Eggleston: Weird baby and the weird old lady telling her.

443
00:29:01.830 --> 00:29:03.550
Maria Pena: Yeah, we have the thing flavors.

444
00:29:03.550 --> 00:29:06.509
Tad Eggleston: I love, I love the nut thought here.

445
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:15.329
Maria Pena: Yeah, yeah, what is that is that it's like, I don't understand what she's saying.

446
00:29:15.330 --> 00:29:15.720
Tad Eggleston: And.

447
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:22.950
Maria Pena: Little brain is working the weird baby with the uncle fester eyes.

448
00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:25.650
Tad Eggleston: Who flies to get figs.

449
00:29:26.570 --> 00:29:27.490
Maria Pena: Yeah.

450
00:29:28.870 --> 00:29:31.050
Maria Pena: Very fucking. Weird.

451
00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:33.050
Maria Pena: Is it?

452
00:29:33.050 --> 00:29:35.580
Tad Eggleston: Caught by the old man with the pipe.

453
00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:38.330
Tad Eggleston: This is like the weirdest story ever.

454
00:29:38.330 --> 00:29:39.380
Maria Pena: Let's draw ahead.

455
00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:40.210
Tad Eggleston: I mean, not quite.

456
00:29:40.210 --> 00:29:40.600
Tad Eggleston: Yeah. Okay.

457
00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:47.359
Tad Eggleston: Because Beto's gotten pretty fucking weird. This is the weirdest story that's inside

458
00:29:47.380 --> 00:29:51.370
Tad Eggleston: of Palomar continuity. How about that?

459
00:29:51.370 --> 00:29:52.620
Marisol: Yeah, there we go.

460
00:29:52.770 --> 00:29:54.280
Marisol: That's a little letteristic.

461
00:29:54.650 --> 00:29:56.330
Maria Pena: And not a movie.

462
00:29:57.490 --> 00:29:58.090
Marisol: Yeah.

463
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:10.279
Tad Eggleston: But I also, you know, because because we know that Venus likes storytelling and and writing and whatnot. I also wonder if it's Venus telling us a story.

464
00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:14.059
Tad Eggleston: not something that happened.

465
00:30:17.340 --> 00:30:18.110
Marisol: Hoodie.

466
00:30:19.100 --> 00:30:20.920
Tad Eggleston: We got all sorts of thought bubbles.

467
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:22.119
Marisol: Working with people.

468
00:30:23.130 --> 00:30:23.730
Tad Eggleston: What?

469
00:30:23.730 --> 00:30:25.369
Maria Pena: It's a weird what.

470
00:30:26.290 --> 00:30:30.560
Marisol: I was confused by how Petra looks! When did she start working with people in them?

471
00:30:33.510 --> 00:30:34.900
Marisol: Or when did she start working out.

472
00:30:37.250 --> 00:30:40.750
Tad Eggleston: Clearly before this, yeah.

473
00:30:40.750 --> 00:30:43.280
Maria Pena: Because she's definitely fit. Now.

474
00:30:43.280 --> 00:30:49.139
Marisol: I wasn't sure if that was in a previous issue, and I just missed it, or if they just kind of it was an off screen thing.

475
00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:53.020
Tad Eggleston: She definitely at some point becomes a fitness nut.

476
00:30:54.310 --> 00:30:55.440
Maria Pena: And body builder.

477
00:30:56.730 --> 00:30:57.330
Tad Eggleston: Right.

478
00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:59.199
Maria Pena: But she's not quite at her.

479
00:30:59.320 --> 00:31:05.990
Maria Pena: A bodybuilder, you know. A, you know, at the top of her bodybuilder.

480
00:31:07.570 --> 00:31:12.409
Maria Pena: Kind of era there, because she's not super like she became Super Muscley.

481
00:31:12.820 --> 00:31:13.284
Marisol: Right.

482
00:31:14.050 --> 00:31:17.239
Maria Pena: She looks pretty. She still looks pretty soft there.

483
00:31:18.850 --> 00:31:25.209
Maria Pena: although she's the way in one of the panels. She's lifting a couch like nothing and vacuuming underneath.

484
00:31:26.780 --> 00:31:34.890
Maria Pena: This thing with a baby was kind of intriguing about it, appearing the childless women.

485
00:31:35.890 --> 00:31:40.769
Maria Pena: but it only appears, if to block.

486
00:31:40.770 --> 00:31:41.830
Tad Eggleston: Lands, once.

487
00:31:42.580 --> 00:31:45.509
Maria Pena: Yeah, it's like, what is this?

488
00:31:49.010 --> 00:31:56.140
Maria Pena: yeah, it feels so surreal. And that and that fig lady sometimes looks like a vampire. I gotta say.

489
00:31:57.550 --> 00:32:02.929
Marisol: I do like the panel like a couple pages back, where Venus, like 1st follows the baby.

490
00:32:03.210 --> 00:32:05.680
Marisol: and it appears to her, I think she says. I mean like.

491
00:32:07.180 --> 00:32:10.909
Marisol: wait. I'm childless. I'm a kid something like that.

492
00:32:12.150 --> 00:32:19.620
Maria Pena: Yes, the blue Turpe, and the fact that she understands that she knows

493
00:32:20.020 --> 00:32:24.460
Maria Pena: blooter baby appears only to a child's female, so.

494
00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:25.980
Tad Eggleston: Well, she does lots of reading.

495
00:32:27.475 --> 00:32:28.069
Maria Pena: Right!

496
00:32:28.620 --> 00:32:29.240
Maria Pena: Oh.

497
00:32:31.120 --> 00:32:34.219
Tad Eggleston: I mean, she's definitely a studious one.

498
00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:35.950
Maria Pena: Yeah, yeah.

499
00:32:36.460 --> 00:32:38.239
Tad Eggleston: Like her friend Casimira.

500
00:32:43.380 --> 00:32:44.390
Maria Pena: So.

501
00:32:46.210 --> 00:32:51.602
Marisol: Yeah, this one. This one was weird, little Uncle Fester, baby.

502
00:32:52.540 --> 00:32:58.570
Maria Pena: Yeah, too many Changa Cup makes. I love that.

503
00:33:05.320 --> 00:33:08.549
Maria Pena: And I guess she summoned the kid

504
00:33:08.940 --> 00:33:11.980
Maria Pena: when she 1st kicked that ball at the beginning.

505
00:33:13.820 --> 00:33:17.369
Maria Pena: She kicked. It reminds me of people

506
00:33:18.695 --> 00:33:23.929
Maria Pena: and then it disappeared, and then it, and then the little baby threw it back at her. Later on.

507
00:33:24.850 --> 00:33:29.230
Tad Eggleston: Well, and also she didn't tell anybody about the.

508
00:33:32.420 --> 00:33:35.409
Tad Eggleston: and she didn't tell her friend about the Bluter baby.

509
00:33:35.410 --> 00:33:36.080
Marisol: No.

510
00:33:36.080 --> 00:33:36.990
Maria Pena: No.

511
00:33:37.630 --> 00:33:42.070
Tad Eggleston: And she asked, When do you know when life is fake and when it's not

512
00:33:45.630 --> 00:33:48.939
Tad Eggleston: so, I wonder, I wonder if that whole surreal.

513
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.880
Maria Pena: Whether it's all her imagination or.

514
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:56.010
Tad Eggleston: I mean she does say all fake, but so exciting.

515
00:33:57.110 --> 00:33:58.030
Maria Pena: Yeah.

516
00:33:58.570 --> 00:34:00.739
Tad Eggleston: All this was all fake.

517
00:34:01.580 --> 00:34:02.380
Maria Pena: Yeah.

518
00:34:08.250 --> 00:34:10.149
Maria Pena: could be everybody.

519
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:13.400
Maria Pena: Her imagination.

520
00:34:14.770 --> 00:34:15.570
Tad Eggleston: It does have.

521
00:34:15.570 --> 00:34:17.480
Marisol: He does read a lot. So that's not surprising.

522
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.870
Tad Eggleston: Active active imagination.

523
00:34:20.889 --> 00:34:21.679
Marisol: Yes.

524
00:34:22.189 --> 00:34:29.199
Tad Eggleston: I love this beginning of letters from Venus, where? Where she's complaining that she has to handwrite the letter

525
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.999
Tad Eggleston: rather than email or fax.

526
00:34:33.299 --> 00:34:41.089
Tad Eggleston: even though I'm pretty certain she's writing to Casimira. So like, I don't know if she could actually email or Fax

527
00:34:41.359 --> 00:34:42.629
Tad Eggleston: Palomar.

528
00:34:43.897 --> 00:34:44.999
Maria Pena: I don't think.

529
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:46.040
Tad Eggleston: Wasn't it a big deal.

530
00:34:46.040 --> 00:34:46.980
Maria Pena: When they got there.

531
00:34:46.989 --> 00:34:47.859
Tad Eggleston: Phone.

532
00:34:48.730 --> 00:34:49.080
Maria Pena: I don't think.

533
00:34:49.080 --> 00:34:49.730
Marisol: Yeah.

534
00:34:49.730 --> 00:34:57.380
Maria Pena: Email was a big thing in 95, 96 yet. So it was just the beginning of.

535
00:34:57.630 --> 00:34:59.050
Tad Eggleston: I don't think people had.

536
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:05.009
Maria Pena: Email at home so much. Oh, I guess it could.

537
00:35:05.010 --> 00:35:05.700
Tad Eggleston: I did.

538
00:35:05.950 --> 00:35:09.010
Maria Pena: It was the beginning. 95, 96.

539
00:35:09.210 --> 00:35:09.640
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

540
00:35:09.640 --> 00:35:10.230
Maria Pena: Training.

541
00:35:10.720 --> 00:35:15.140
Tad Eggleston: Think I got my 1st email address in either 95 or 96. I know I had one by.

542
00:35:15.140 --> 00:35:15.710
Tad Eggleston: Oh, I see.

543
00:35:15.710 --> 00:35:16.200
Tad Eggleston: Yes.

544
00:35:17.230 --> 00:35:17.780
Maria Pena: Good.

545
00:35:18.890 --> 00:35:21.849
Maria Pena: Oh, you're just emailing, of course he's still there.

546
00:35:21.850 --> 00:35:22.500
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

547
00:35:23.230 --> 00:35:24.799
Maria Pena: Hmm! That's a shit.

548
00:35:25.380 --> 00:35:29.440
Tad Eggleston: And I was reading from the letter, Maria, I wasn't taking.

549
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.680
Maria Pena: Yeah, you were, yeah, right?

550
00:35:32.680 --> 00:35:39.270
Tad Eggleston: But again Palomar deliberately keeps themselves in the past.

551
00:35:40.470 --> 00:35:42.400
Tad Eggleston: You know, that's been.

552
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:42.760
Marisol: Over.

553
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:50.500
Tad Eggleston: Part of the story is that Palomar kind of refuses to modernize anything so.

554
00:35:50.500 --> 00:35:51.050
Maria Pena: Yeah.

555
00:35:51.510 --> 00:35:59.250
Tad Eggleston: Even assuming other people might be able to email or fax with her. I don't think she was going to get a letter to Palomar that way.

556
00:36:00.190 --> 00:36:03.290
Marisol: No gotta do it. Old school!

557
00:36:03.810 --> 00:36:08.170
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I love Venus's fashion here, too.

558
00:36:10.490 --> 00:36:11.064
Maria Pena: Yeah.

559
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:12.820
Marisol: Cool.

560
00:36:12.820 --> 00:36:17.319
Tad Eggleston: The dress with the lightning dope bolt and the the flat top hat.

561
00:36:19.060 --> 00:36:19.870
Maria Pena: Yes. Correct.

562
00:36:19.870 --> 00:36:22.179
Marisol: Friend who always looks like he's in a little suit.

563
00:36:22.620 --> 00:36:26.610
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, smoking at the diner until Fritz shows up.

564
00:36:26.610 --> 00:36:29.139
Marisol: Yep, what are they like? 12.

565
00:36:29.940 --> 00:36:30.780
Tad Eggleston: If that.

566
00:36:32.370 --> 00:36:33.160
Maria Pena: Yeah.

567
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:43.180
Maria Pena: And I love the kids. Imagination. Yeah, to him. They learn.

568
00:36:43.180 --> 00:36:43.560
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, yeah.

569
00:36:43.560 --> 00:36:45.499
Maria Pena: Superhero girls. I love that.

570
00:36:45.500 --> 00:36:52.270
Tad Eggleston: Yep, yep, I like the the green day poster in the back here.

571
00:36:53.230 --> 00:36:53.920
Maria Pena: Yeah.

572
00:36:54.560 --> 00:36:59.289
Tad Eggleston: And the naughty comic that she's reading is one of Gilbert's, or he's reading.

573
00:36:59.870 --> 00:37:00.916
Maria Pena: Oh, okay.

574
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:01.850
Marisol: Really.

575
00:37:01.850 --> 00:37:06.059
Tad Eggleston: Grip grip is. It is one of the dark horse comics that he did.

576
00:37:07.170 --> 00:37:08.240
Marisol: Oh, that's okay.

577
00:37:09.640 --> 00:37:10.350
Maria Pena: Yeah.

578
00:37:11.230 --> 00:37:14.279
Tad Eggleston: Strange, because I think, was the subtitle.

579
00:37:14.950 --> 00:37:20.823
Maria Pena: A strange world in it. I haven't. I never saw those. I I did buy a couple of

580
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:28.891
Maria Pena: Birdlands, you know, just cause it was Plato. And then it was like, Yeah, actually.

581
00:37:29.930 --> 00:37:33.510
Tad Eggleston: I like birdland. It's over the top, but I think it's.

582
00:37:33.510 --> 00:37:38.813
Maria Pena: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it was fine, but it was like,

583
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:47.700
Tad Eggleston: Yes, it's it's it's yeah. Grip the strange world of men from comics, luminary and loving rockets. Co-creator

584
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:55.020
Tad Eggleston: Hilbert Hernandez, or Gilberto Hernandez Got to get it right. He taught us.

585
00:37:56.350 --> 00:37:58.030
Maria Pena: Of course.

586
00:37:58.230 --> 00:38:03.700
Tad Eggleston: And of course they got an ad popping up over the text as I read.

587
00:38:05.020 --> 00:38:29.890
Tad Eggleston: comes a mind-bending genre mashup, unlike any other, never before collected grip. The strange world of men returns in an expanded edition with new story pages. When Mike Chang wakes up with no memory and nothing but a lipstick smudge and someone else's suit, and Id. He finds himself thrown into the world of criminal gangs, crime fighters, people who swap skins, and a tiny, one-eyed girl

588
00:38:29.890 --> 00:38:37.890
Tad Eggleston: with bizarre powers discover one of Hernandez's creepiest, sexiest, most action-packed comics, extravaganzas.

589
00:38:40.120 --> 00:38:41.220
Maria Pena: There you go!

590
00:38:41.680 --> 00:38:43.350
Marisol: What a description!

591
00:38:46.640 --> 00:38:47.620
Maria Pena: Hmm.

592
00:38:47.770 --> 00:38:56.210
Tad Eggleston: So. So yeah, I don't remember if any of the covers of Grip looked quite like that. But Grip is is a

593
00:38:56.730 --> 00:38:59.930
Tad Eggleston: a Gilbert comic.

594
00:39:03.040 --> 00:39:07.989
Tad Eggleston: Sassy is not, but I feel like there was another one that was a Gilbert comic

595
00:39:08.450 --> 00:39:11.100
Tad Eggleston: that that popped up later.

596
00:39:12.290 --> 00:39:14.480
Tad Eggleston: Maybe it wasn't this issue.

597
00:39:16.090 --> 00:39:16.790
Maria Pena: Hmm.

598
00:39:20.100 --> 00:39:22.260
Tad Eggleston: Because these all look like they're grip.

599
00:39:25.820 --> 00:39:30.360
Tad Eggleston: But we'll have more experience with this comic shop going forward.

600
00:39:34.640 --> 00:39:43.199
Tad Eggleston: And I I just I love the the garbage and the throwing Muses. This is this is the era that I was super grass.

601
00:39:44.260 --> 00:39:47.540
Tad Eggleston: This is the era that I was getting into music

602
00:39:48.120 --> 00:39:52.080
Tad Eggleston: and then working at a music store. Even so, like.

603
00:39:53.510 --> 00:39:57.569
Tad Eggleston: I remember selling all of these bands to people.

604
00:40:06.080 --> 00:40:12.210
Tad Eggleston: I also think it's cool that Venus is in both into comics, but but into, like the old romance comics.

605
00:40:12.870 --> 00:40:13.710
Maria Pena: Yes.

606
00:40:14.170 --> 00:40:18.539
Tad Eggleston: Like. The 1st time she went to the store she noted that. Oh, there's some

607
00:40:18.890 --> 00:40:22.429
Tad Eggleston: old romance comics that I don't have. I'll have to come back with money.

608
00:40:24.420 --> 00:40:25.290
Maria Pena: Yes.

609
00:40:32.150 --> 00:40:40.160
Maria Pena: it's a it's a very underestimated own genre. I love it some.

610
00:40:40.160 --> 00:40:44.000
Tad Eggleston: Bottom corner here, when

611
00:40:44.520 --> 00:40:54.739
Tad Eggleston: the guys, giving her the copy of the comic in front of her friends, do you think Gilbert deliberately made her friend's face look like a blow-up doll.

612
00:40:55.100 --> 00:40:56.520
Tad Eggleston: or did it just happen to

613
00:40:56.520 --> 00:40:58.970
Tad Eggleston: wind up looking like a blow up time.

614
00:40:58.970 --> 00:41:06.499
Maria Pena: I know right could be anything could be anything.

615
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:10.290
Maria Pena: I think it's probably deliberate. I don't think it's.

616
00:41:10.290 --> 00:41:20.690
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, I think so, too. It's just too dead on with the wide open eyes, the perfectly centered pupils and and and

617
00:41:20.710 --> 00:41:24.370
Tad Eggleston: and the perfectly round, no wide open.

618
00:41:25.580 --> 00:41:27.439
Marisol: It's yeah, too funny.

619
00:41:29.970 --> 00:41:34.569
Maria Pena: Yeah, it's ridiculous.

620
00:41:34.570 --> 00:41:37.049
Marisol: List, and it's perfect all at once.

621
00:41:37.370 --> 00:41:37.970
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

622
00:41:40.070 --> 00:41:46.750
Tad Eggleston: Oh, I didn't even notice that that we've got a penis dangling on this page here.

623
00:41:47.260 --> 00:41:48.960
Maria Pena: Oh, yeah, you're over there

624
00:41:54.370 --> 00:42:00.639
Maria Pena: actually, once, now that you've read the the synopsis about the grip, it sounds really interesting.

625
00:42:00.640 --> 00:42:02.220
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, we're gonna have to read it right?

626
00:42:02.220 --> 00:42:02.719
Marisol: It's this great.

627
00:42:02.720 --> 00:42:07.860
Tad Eggleston: I know I've read it. It's been a while, though I know I've got it.

628
00:42:07.860 --> 00:42:12.069
Maria Pena: Is it? Is it collected in one of these books, or.

629
00:42:12.070 --> 00:42:17.140
Tad Eggleston: No, it's collected separately because it didn't come out through fanagraphics. It came out through.

630
00:42:17.140 --> 00:42:17.640
Maria Pena: Oh!

631
00:42:17.640 --> 00:42:18.670
Tad Eggleston: Dark horse.

632
00:42:19.730 --> 00:42:20.820
Marisol: Oh!

633
00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:30.020
Tad Eggleston: So it's not officially part of this universe, except that it's a comic that they read in this universe.

634
00:42:30.020 --> 00:42:32.520
Maria Pena: So if it's referenced, it's right.

635
00:42:32.520 --> 00:42:33.944
Tad Eggleston: Reference.

636
00:42:35.370 --> 00:42:35.760
Marisol: Perfect.

637
00:42:36.670 --> 00:42:41.981
Maria Pena: I wonder if at the graphics are like damage. He's referencing another company.

638
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:49.740
Tad Eggleston: I mean they shouldn't be. I am. Fanagraphics has done pretty well, but I still would.

639
00:42:50.060 --> 00:42:56.669
Tad Eggleston: I still wonder if they would have lasted as long as they lasted. If they hadn't had loving love and rockets to like.

640
00:42:57.340 --> 00:43:01.519
Maria Pena: Prop them up through all of those years, and the ups and downs of comics.

641
00:43:02.520 --> 00:43:03.590
Marisol: Oh!

642
00:43:04.230 --> 00:43:14.099
Tad Eggleston: You know. Remember, Birdland actually even came about because they were struggling so much that they decided to do the arrows line because

00:43:34.900 --> 00:43:36.249
Marisol: That'll do it.

00:43:38.668 --> 00:43:41.810
Tad Eggleston: With with real talent working on them.

652
00:43:43.120 --> 00:43:43.700
Maria Pena: Yeah.

653
00:43:43.700 --> 00:43:44.470
Tad Eggleston: You know.

654
00:43:46.910 --> 00:43:49.879
Maria Pena: Oh, yeah, you know, we all know sex sales.

00:43:50.220 --> 00:43:51.689
Maria Pena: Yeah, the thing is, it has.

656
00:43:51.690 --> 00:43:58.160
Maria Pena: So I, the thing that makes most money

657
00:43:58.370 --> 00:44:02.559
Maria Pena: in on the Internet and all sorts of things. Yeah, so.

658
00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:06.300
Tad Eggleston: Well, almost every technology ever started out with like.

659
00:44:07.660 --> 00:44:08.130
Maria Pena: Hmm.

660
00:44:08.130 --> 00:44:09.050
Tad Eggleston: Sex.

661
00:44:09.910 --> 00:44:10.380
Maria Pena: Hmm.

662
00:44:10.380 --> 00:44:16.740
Tad Eggleston: You know so many things that we use for so many different things started out as sex aids.

663
00:44:17.410 --> 00:44:18.530
Maria Pena: Yeah, that's right.

664
00:44:21.505 --> 00:44:22.540
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

665
00:44:22.540 --> 00:44:23.160

00:44:26.720 --> 00:44:28.190
Marisol: The more you know.

668
00:44:29.563 --> 00:44:30.596
Tad Eggleston: And

669
00:44:31.650 --> 00:44:46.859
Tad Eggleston: and even if they do like the Internet, I don't think was initially designed for for sex. But if it weren't for Internet porn. The Internet would not have exploded and would not have had the funds to explode the way that it did.

670
00:44:49.050 --> 00:44:51.159
Tad Eggleston: I mean porn paid for the Internet.

671
00:44:52.450 --> 00:44:53.010
Maria Pena: Yep.

672
00:44:53.010 --> 00:44:57.059
Marisol: Well, you know what they say. The Internet is for porn that.

673
00:44:57.060 --> 00:45:01.059
Tad Eggleston: That is what they say. I think they even sing a song about it.

674
00:45:01.590 --> 00:45:02.095
Marisol: Yeah.

675
00:45:05.380 --> 00:45:06.340
Marisol: Oh.

676
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.659
Tad Eggleston: Have you never heard that from Avenue Q.

677
00:45:10.310 --> 00:45:11.290
Marisol: -

678
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:12.590
Tad Eggleston: Such a good song.

679
00:45:12.590 --> 00:45:15.840
Marisol: Literally. The only thing I know about Avenue Q. Is that song.

680
00:45:16.270 --> 00:45:23.479
Tad Eggleston: Oh, no, it's not even the best song in Avenue Q. Probably the best song in Avenue Q is. Everyone's a little bit racist.

681
00:45:24.550 --> 00:45:26.410
Marisol: Oh, my God!

682
00:45:28.410 --> 00:45:31.020
Maria Pena: Okay, I have to look them up because I don't know them.

683
00:45:31.240 --> 00:45:37.860
Tad Eggleston: Avenue Q is like a grown-up version of the muppets.

684
00:45:38.750 --> 00:45:39.220
Maria Pena: Oh!

685
00:45:39.220 --> 00:45:44.010
Tad Eggleston: It's it's supposed to be like Sesame Street for adults. So it's like, it's like.

686
00:45:45.210 --> 00:45:52.830
Tad Eggleston: it's like puppets, puppet monsters and humans living together in the same apartment building, and like.

687
00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:54.200
Maria Pena: Yeah.

688
00:45:54.200 --> 00:45:57.370
Tad Eggleston: Another song is my girlfriend, who lives in Canada.

689
00:46:02.130 --> 00:46:03.220
Maria Pena: So it's great.

690
00:46:03.500 --> 00:46:05.220
Tad Eggleston: It is. I love it.

691
00:46:06.380 --> 00:46:10.640
Tad Eggleston: I feel like I'm probably going to wind up listening to Avenue Q. When we're done.

692
00:46:10.910 --> 00:46:11.850
Marisol: Nice.

693

Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

719
00:47:43.640 --> 00:47:45.999
Marisol: So otherwise, where's the fun in that? Keeping it to yourself?

720
00:47:46.660 --> 00:47:54.150
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, there's there's a whole playlist here that's very nice.

721
00:47:55.270 --> 00:47:56.380
Tad Eggleston: So

00:48:00.220 --> 00:48:01.190
Tad Eggleston: cool, cool.

723
00:48:03.113 --> 00:48:07.190
Tad Eggleston: Time for favorite panels. I think.

724
00:48:07.190 --> 00:48:07.900
Marisol: Yes.

725
00:48:09.390 --> 00:48:13.980
Tad Eggleston: So anybody want to volunteer to go first.st

726
00:48:15.770 --> 00:48:16.960
Marisol: Oh, right!

727
00:48:17.657 --> 00:48:19.052
Marisol: That my

728
00:48:20.550 --> 00:48:22.860
Marisol: It's my favorites.

729
00:48:24.080 --> 00:48:27.550
Marisol: Beto panel, I think, would have to be

730
00:48:29.750 --> 00:48:33.700
Marisol: Oh, my God! Which one was it trying to

731
00:48:34.640 --> 00:48:37.819
Marisol: look back at the comic on my phone at the same time.

732
00:48:41.490 --> 00:48:43.130
Marisol: I think it's gotta be that like

733
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:49.269
Marisol: beginning Ish page. I think it's that one where she's like explaining why she kicks the balls.

734
00:48:51.590 --> 00:48:54.659
Marisol: but she sees a lonely ball, and she's just gotta punt it.

735
00:48:56.530 --> 00:48:58.419
Marisol: It's towards the beginning of this, I believe.

736
00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:03.490
Tad Eggleston: Lonesome ball mine! Oh, my! Let's see.

737
00:49:06.970 --> 00:49:09.840
Marisol: No, I think it's it's the earlier.

738
00:49:12.010 --> 00:49:13.679
Marisol: I don't remember what page.

739
00:49:15.590 --> 00:49:21.850
Tad Eggleston: Is it? Yeah, lonesome ball all alone. Whenever I see a ball just sitting there, I have to kick it.

740
00:49:22.120 --> 00:49:30.019
Tad Eggleston: Soccer ball, bouncing ball, even a teeny, tiny ball for Jacks. Pow, so the 4 panels!

741
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:36.590
Tad Eggleston: Yep, I don't know. It just feels so random, but also like.

742
00:49:37.370 --> 00:49:42.589
Marisol: Very much a little kid thing to just, you know, kick a random ball that's out alone by itself.

743
00:49:44.210 --> 00:49:51.709
Marisol: Also, just like how a lot of Venus's internal dialogue is very just, almost word vomiting.

744
00:49:52.340 --> 00:49:52.960
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

745
00:49:53.900 --> 00:49:55.269
Maria Pena: Yeah, yeah.

746
00:49:59.640 --> 00:50:10.579
Tad Eggleston: Well, and and take the pictures away and read it, and it becomes like

747
00:50:11.650 --> 00:50:14.949
Tad Eggleston: you could read it way the wrong way.

748
00:50:16.090 --> 00:50:21.650
Tad Eggleston: I just realized that as I'm writing, you know 4 panels about lonely balls.

749
00:50:27.490 --> 00:50:29.740
Marisol: We're mature guys. We're mature adults.

750
00:50:30.010 --> 00:50:33.419
Tad Eggleston: Well, I mean Beto brings the best out of us.

751
00:50:33.590 --> 00:50:34.745
Maria Pena: True.

752
00:50:38.870 --> 00:50:42.080
Tad Eggleston: Maria, do you have a favorite Bedo script.

753
00:50:42.080 --> 00:50:50.869
Maria Pena: Yes, I love the the 2, the the superhero girls. Yeah, that Yoshi's imagination.

754
00:50:50.870 --> 00:50:51.220
Tad Eggleston: Yeah.

755
00:50:51.430 --> 00:50:57.519
Maria Pena: To of venison. And Fritz, a superhero like

756
00:50:58.150 --> 00:50:59.916
Maria Pena: this sort of it's very

757
00:51:01.811 --> 00:51:08.890
Maria Pena: it's almost like they're so shiny and beautiful. And I mean, it's just a great oh.

758
00:51:09.060 --> 00:51:21.470
Maria Pena: depiction of he's just love it. I think the 2 panels work really well, like him looking at them, and then cut to them, and they look like sort of otherworldly visual

759
00:51:22.160 --> 00:51:23.000
Maria Pena: love that.

760
00:51:26.110 --> 00:51:29.800
Marisol: I did notice that he keeps saying he keeps selling Venus that, like

761
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:33.239
Marisol: her, mom's so awesome, and her aunt is so awesome.

762
00:51:34.350 --> 00:51:37.350
Tad Eggleston: Yeah, he definitely likes to hang out with with

763
00:51:38.020 --> 00:51:42.690
Tad Eggleston: Venus because he likes being around the beautiful older ladies.

764
00:51:43.990 --> 00:51:46.539
Tad Eggleston: I mean. I think he likes Venus, too.

765
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:51.400
Tad Eggleston: but he definitely likes being around her family's boo.

766
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:55.669
Marisol: Oops. Yep, that's a great way to put it.

767
00:51:55.890 --> 00:51:59.380
Tad Eggleston: He definitely has a thing for her family's boobs.

768
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:08.431
Tad Eggleston: I mean, I don't think there's any other accurate way to put it. We could come up with euphemisms.

769
00:52:09.430 --> 00:52:10.930
Tad Eggleston: But I didn't feel like it

770
00:52:11.170 --> 00:52:16.060
Tad Eggleston: just calling it like it is. He likes being around her family's boobs.

771
00:52:16.240 --> 00:52:17.110
Marisol: Yeah.

772
00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:19.990
Maria Pena: Alright.

773
00:52:21.640 --> 00:52:26.810
Tad Eggleston: What do I like from Beto? There's so much good stuff here.

774
00:52:28.270 --> 00:52:29.700
Marisol: We need to wait.

775
00:52:29.700 --> 00:52:30.660
Maria Pena: Yeah, right.

776
00:52:33.560 --> 00:52:34.580
Tad Eggleston: Hmm!

777
00:52:36.680 --> 00:52:40.954
Tad Eggleston: You guys both took good ones. I I could join either one of you.

778
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:44.970
Tad Eggleston: But don't apologize. It just means that like.

779
00:52:44.970 --> 00:52:45.530
Maria Pena: Yeah.
