Alternate-Universe Lightning Lady: "Same as last night... Scrambled."

Panel 2: (Angus and Alternate-Universe Lightning Lady are standing close together, looking serious.)
Alternate-Universe Lightning Lady: "We should probably talk about last night."
Alternate-Universe Lightning Lady: "Yeah... I'll pitch in for a new dining room table."

Hey Comics — Kids! Superman vs Batman

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).

And the answers they come up with are way more complex than I was prepared for. Audio Player 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. To hear the previous episodes of Hey Comics — Kids, click here. And, of course, 15 Minutes Max, where my 8yo pontificates for a quarter hour on whatever’s on his busy little mind.
