This Is Getting Graphic
We're Andrew and Phil, college roommates emeritus, best friends for life, and comic fans by choice. During each biweekly episode, we dive into the wildest and wackiest that comics and graphic novels have to offer, with Andrew doing research and analysis and Phil providing comedic commentary. You can expect a healthy dose of comics history, comedy, analysis/commentary, and more, as well as special guests and retrospective looks at some of our favorite comics throughout the decades.
