Summertime, and the livin' is easy--and in the CGS Studio, we've got some comic talk to catch up on! Topics include the remarkable reading habits of Bryan's daughter Clara (hint: she's into superheroes), Pants' ongoing love affair with original art, early buzz concerning the upcoming San Diego convention, and other bits'n'bobs. (1:27:41)

* I'm totally with Bryan Deemer on listening to podcasts over music when working out. Music too often just becomes background noise, but podcasts force you to pay attention and take your mind off the pain. LOL!
* That having been said, gimme music over using the "iPod of my imagination"!
* Regarding The Walking Dead art going for $5k or so on eBay, just think, if you had 7 more, you'd be able to afford that guy's potato salad!
* How is it that @Adam_Murdough doesn't know what a "Mentat" is? Have you never read Dune, Murd? For my money, it's the greatest sci-fi book of all-time. If not, forget bringing comics on your next Stone Harbor trip and pick up "Dune" instead!
* Anyone else curious as to why Shane has a passport on him at all times?
Things that might still be in play: drug mule, Canadian toliet smuggler, or he's waiting on some reality tv show to cast him off the streets.
Hard to be "International" when you're only capable of patrolling the greater Reading area. #bwahaha
AND.... if I did fly those same enemies would pick up my trail. However, I always have a passport with me because you never know when you may need to jam!

@JaxUr, thanks for the link to the Carson podcast. I'll be all over that, too.
I did not need more things to distract me, but this sounds absolutely awesome. An episode chatting with Peter Lassally? Yes please!
That said, if you have the time, I would definitely recommend that you consider hiking the North Ridge Trail instead of running the auto road. It is classified as a "moderate" hike, so you'll still get a decent workout. The views are beyond spectacular. I think it is about 2.2 miles from the trailhead. If you are traveling with others and don't feel like hiking down the trail from the summit, you could have one member of your party drive up the auto road and then you can ride back down with them.
Hope you enjoy your visit to Maine. I'm in Portland. Assuming you will be passing through as is it is difficult not to. If you need any recommendations for food (or comics) let me know. I'm traveling for work most of the next two weeks, but on the off-chance that I'm here, I'd love to buy you lunch if you have the time and inclination.
And these last few weeks it's been nice hearing Peter,Pants and Bryan back on the show. And of course Murd, Shane and Chris. Hopefully we'll hear from Kevin and Matt.
Of course Jamie's voice is sorely missed but maybe his final gift to the show is he brings the Geeks together on a regular basis
There it is. No Kickstarters for traveling, cons, meet the geeks, ect. Tell us what we need to do to fund this show to go ANOTHER 10 years, 3 days a week, with nearly a full roster.
I don't know why but the potato salad kickstarter annoys me to no end. No matter how much thought I put into it, the whole thing just greatly perturbs me.
It was really cool to hear that Deemer found Beasts of War. I knew he was into board games and I should have thought of suggesting it.
Thanks CGS it really was a great episode. The march to the big tenth anniversary continues forward. One episode at a time.
Never fear though, Pants will find something you like to dangle in front of you, isn't that right Pants :)
It's weird but awesome that not only are we starting to see these sorts of projects sprouting up in the midst of what I've come to call the Gloom 52, but that they're coming out of the Batman neck of the woods, which has had its highlights but also been mostly downbeat and stuck in the cycle of endless crossovers.
Hopefully this sort of sea change sticks and that the cynical "comics for 40 year old men only" approach is going by the wayside.
Not asking for it to be played, especially considering I'm not certain if I left it specifically for Jamie or not. Just curious as to if it WILL be played so that, if not, I can call in again in the future and re-leave some of the voicemails points in a future voicemail (with new content of course).
^Believe me, I felt weird just TYPING all of that....
X-Men, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four are with other studios. And sure, Marvel can make movies with individual Avengers members and they've been doing a great job of it. Btu if that Avengers movie would have flopped than they would have had no where else to go. If Guardians flops they can still go back to The Avengers.
On other note, a few episodes ago someone mentioned how Marvel won't support the next FF movie, and won't even publish a FF comic when the movie is released. I wonder if that is a power play by Marvel to try and get Fox to give up the FF movie license.
