Zackdick the Comic-Fucker and Charlotte Coleslaw are joined this month by Dave Puesing, founder and CEO of Comic Book Herald. On this episode, we’re covering the seminal Eightball by Daniel Clowes. We’re talking issues #1-18 (what’s included in The Complete Eightball collection).

Topics discussed:
– Can the comic succeed simply by expressing the inner mind of its author, warts and all? If so, for how long?
– Is Dan Pussey the most brutal take-down of comics out there?
– Is bugfucking the height or nadir of comedy?
