With Dan Butcher returning to the show after being away for 2 weeks, the trio decided it was time for some good old fashioned comics rambling. There's talk of comic conventions and how they should be called 'festivals' from now on, crazy successful kickstarters, creative control over your IP, sharks, bears and more. A few listener questions are answered and after yet more fantastic book recommendations there's also an extra bit of audio as Tony interviews Rachael Ball (The Inflatable Woman).

Great stuff to check out this week: Patrioka, The Penned Guins, Be Pure Be Vigilant Audiobook, Vic Iddstar-Hill, Frome Comic Con, The Demon Archives, Stuart McCune, Ken Reynolds, NPC Tea, Sarah Millman, Hilda and the Black Hound, Ricardo Mo, Rachael Ball, The Inflatable Woman
