    That was fun! I miss the creator interviews. Nice post-credit callback, @Pants.

    Yes, I agree with nweathington! That was quite the fun interview! I missed out on the Green Arrow Annual already, but I'll get their regular GA run for sure. I'm really going to miss the Birds of Prey. In fact, I had thoughts of doing an Oracle cosplay...uh, before something happened to the character. Heheh... Anyway, now I'm gonna have to find that Word Balloon episode! Edit:* Found it! That trivia game sounded like fun! Also I found a Tom King interview a few days later. That John Suntress (sic) does a good Pants imitation!

    Great episode. It's always fun to hear from Shawna and Julie. I hope to bump into them at SDCC and catch up.

    I would have attended one of their local signings over the last year or so, but I buy BBOP digitally, so I have nothing to sign. I'd just be a goofball hanging out to chat.

    I just got back from C2E2 and had a great time. I ran into Pants and asked him to contact the sisters to find out how much they plan to use trick arrows for Green Arrow. Hopefully he'll have an answer he can share on the air soon.
    Also at a Mark Waid panel he was asked what character he still hasn't written that he most wants to. His answer: Green Arrow. Pants immediately texted that to the sisters. I don't know exactly what their reaction was but I know they did react.

    Pants, I love you and I love your commitment to the show. I know we wouldn't be getting any of the episodes we're getting these days if it weren't for you. I think you're wonderful. I don't want you to take this too harshly.

    You cannot tell women who are voicing their opinion on a sexism issue to "calm down". It is really dismissive of them, the issue they're talking about, and women in general. It makes you part of the gender inequity problem in that instance. I know you would never want to be part of that problem, and you probably didn't do what you did consciously, but you have consciously not do stuff like that.
