087 - Real Life Issues in Comics! (w / Susie Gander)
The Awesome Comics Podcast

Comics are a powerful medium and in the right hands can truly help people through tough times. The Awesome Pod crew are joined this week by Susie Gander, whose brilliant semi-autobiographical comic Perry Winkle not only helped her as she battled cancer, but is helping others too. She's also got the same sense of humour as the ACP gang, so there are crazy jokes and laughs flying in all directions! It's a brilliant conversation that you come to expect from the show, informative, educational and stocked full of ridiculous chuckles. Plus theres an added bonus of two hilarious out takes from Dans dictionary corner. Dont miss it!

Great stuff to check out this week: Susie Gander, Perry Winkle, Auschwitz, Sarah Andersen, Adulthood is a Myth, Planet of the Daemons #3, Deep Space Canine, Worry Wart, The Fix #8, A Place to Hang Your Cape
