Last night, I had the amazing experience of being a guest on the Black Tribbles podcast. If you’re familiar with the Philadelphia Geek Awards (and you should be) then you know these folks as the winners of the Streaming Project of the Year Award.
I met Len “Bat Tribble” Webb a while back when he interviewed me on the floor of Wizard World Philadelphia.
Last night, I was invited out to the G-town Radio studio, where Black Tribbles is recorded Thursday nights at 9 p.m., and got to spend two hours talking comics with three of the finest geeks in Philly — Len, Randy Green and Erik Mack.
We opened with a slate of superhero-movie news — DC’s announcement of movies through 2020 — and dissected both Gotham and Agents of SHIELD on TV. And, of course, we talked a bunch about me… including Evil Inc, the new Hey Comics — Kids! podcast I’m doing with my boys, and the Top 5 Halloween costumes I’d like to see my wife in.
Although you can catch their show live every Thursday night at nine (eastern), they release every episode (including this one) as a podcast. Transcript
[Panel 1] (At a nearby watering hole...)
Matt the Henchman: I don’t get it! You’re the highest-ranked hench in the biz! What’s got you down?!
[Panel 2] (Argus the Minotaur sighs, sitting at the bar with Matt, drinking beer.)
Argus the Minotaur: sigh I used to hench with a woman. She was… amazing.
[Panel 3] (Flashback of Argus thinking about the past.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): I couldn’t bring myself to tell her how I felt about her because it woulda wrecked our working relationship.
[Panel 4] (Flashback continues.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): When she got promoted, I left henching and just… kicked around for a while.
[Panel 5] (Another flashback, showing Argus sneakily capturing Lightning Lady from behind.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): After years of trying to forget her, I decided to give it one more try.
[Panel 6] (Argus and Lightning Lady sit next to each other, playing video games.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): Now I’m back where I started. I’m henching again, and she’s close enough to touch, but too far to hold.
*Caption: After a brief stint at the Silver Agency.
[Panel 7] (Back at the bar, Matt looks at Argus.)
Matt the Henchman: So… what? You’re just gonna suffer in silence?
[Panel 8] (Argus grins sadly.)
Argus the Minotaur: Trust me. You do not want to hear a minotaur suffer out loud.
