Four-panel “Evil Inc” comic set inside Doctor Muskiday’s underground laboratory. In the large top panel, Doctor Muskiday runs frantically through the lab shouting “Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! No! No! No!” Holo-Clone Miss Match, wearing a tight white blouse and maroon pants, stands in the center asking, “Musky, darling, what’s wrong??” In the second panel, an unseen speaker says, “Him? Oh, he got some bad news.” In the third panel, Holo-Clone Miss Match approaches a small animal cage and asks, “Really? What’s the bad news?” In the final panel, a lab rat sits inside the cage with a large glowing pink emotion cloud completely covering its head and replies, “I am.”
Consider this another proof-of-concept podcast. We recorded this one on the drive to school using my new Simple Lav microphone plugged into my iPhone (running the 99¢ Audio Memos app). I tell you this because I’m hoping one of you audiophiles can help me dampen the background noise in future podcast — if we decide to keep doing these this way.
Superman vs Batman
My two sons (ages 12 and 8) take the debate beyond the lame “who would win in a fight” potboiler. We get down to the nitty gritty… which is the better superhero? And the answers they come up with are way more complex than I was prepared for.
The boys are really enjoying recording the podcast — and reading the reactions on Twitter, Facebook, etc. So if you’d like to hear them address a specific topic or if you have a show idea, please hit the comments below.
