#149 - A Longish Thin Point And A Sturdy Build - with Zak Simmonds-Hurn! (@monstrouscomics.bsky.social)

Comic artist & OG Boomer Zak joins us, and he's brought a letter from 1999 written by... well, you'll find out. From one old pal to another, it's a mythic issue as we travel to Shanazar and meet the genie of the bloke's face and Amy punches the Minotaur, and Andy Pritchett bows out (pretend I put the sad music on, I couldn't find a proper place) with a GREAT final set of pages. I've marked this episode "Explicit," it's only as explicit as any other episode, which is to say not very, but as Zak works on kids' comics I didn't want any Phoenix-reading families getting the wrong idea that this will be for the little ones. The swears are bleeped folks, but we still said them in the first place. Up to you. I think it's fine, but it's up to you.

Om Podcasten

Sharper than a Cyber-Razor Cut! This podcast is your online guide to the Sega-sational world of the 1990's and the UK's official Sega comic: Sonic The Comic. Join the humes who think they're in charge, Dave Bulmer (a.k.a. DemonTomatoDave on YouTube) and Chris McFeely (creator of Transformers: The Basics on YouTube), as they review each issue from cover to cover, adverts and all, and explain what it was really like to grow up with Sonic The Comic as a piece of culture. Sonic Boomers (that's you, listeners) may also expect the occasional tangent about other pieces of 90's UK culture such as Woolworths and El Dorado. You can also read along with STCTP on each episode's webpage which can be found at stctp.zone and if that's STILL not enough content for you, join our Patreon at patreon.com/stctp for reviews of the Martin Adams Sonic novels (including an exclusive interview with the author!) as well as livestreams of Dave reading the awful Sonic fanfics he wrote as a teenager to Chris.
