Yup, we continue to make headway on Operation: Q&A, with perhaps as many as *ten* full questions answered in this, Episode 88 of your friendly, neighborhood Wait, What? podcast.

The wolf is at my door (figuratively speaking) so allow me to fill you in on what to expect and then I'll have to run (literally speaking--I don't know, it gets complicated but you can figure it out):

For a hearty two hours and five minutes (with the first ten devoted strictly to music talk), Graeme McMillan and I gab about which Alan Moore's universe we'd like to see continued; the recent first issues of Batman Inc., The Ravagers, and Superman Family Adventures; Erik Larsen and The Savage Dragon; digital content and comics as a niche market; who gets a bigger free pass--Marvel or DC; Greg Rucka and Brian Bendis' discussion over at the Mulholland Books website; the degrees of freelancer success; Scott Kurtz and cynicism; Jim Lee and the role of creators in corporate comics; and really just so much oh my god you guys I cant even begin to tell you

Those with an Internet connection and our patented SynethesiaGoggles may have already watched the warp and woof of our mellifluous mouthtones on iTunes, but you can also have a grainier, more auditory, and some would even say more fulfilling (but that may be because they didn't want to fork over the extra fiver for the goggles) experience below:

Wait, What? Ep. 88: Starry-Eyed Cynics

As ever, please secure your bags either below your seat or in the overhead bins before departure, and thank you for listening!

Yes, well. Tiny vacations were taken last week (little itsy-bitsy ones!) and it was pretty darn pleasant, I gotta say. However, this means Graeme and I didn't record last week, which means I didn't edit yesterday, which means no podcast today. (Why this means I have to somehow map out the entire production process for you, I'm not sure. Obviously, the mini-cation didn't help my ability to vamp awkwardly.)

Which isn't to say we don't have some great Wait, What? related content for you anyway. For example, check out this Portlandia video below for a very compelling cameo (right around the 1:03) mark:

And! After the jump! Kirby tattoos!

Also worth noting are these great tattoos my pal and friend of the program Ren S. passed along. They're the tats of his friend Dr. Metropolis, who may or may not be the author of this fine book. I'm such a fan of Kirby (and especially Kirby at Marvel), I had to post these:

My thanks to Ren and the good Doctor for showing this very amazing labor of love. Now if someone wants to come forward with their OMAC tattoos and make my life more-or-less complete...

Next week: A Podcast! Probably! See you then!
