Description

This week, we hosted the book club in an atelier, which is "A workshop or studio used by an artist." And what is podcasting, if not an art form? It definitely isn't but comics are and we're here to talk about one of the comics of all time: Witch Hat Atelier.

The bulk of our conversation focused on the incredible world building of the first three volumes; the rules of the world, how those rules were developed, and the implications for the characters. The hosts also discuss the adorable cast of characters, the various hijinks they get up to, and Jean-Luc's distaste for such trivialities.

Next, on Crying in the Book Club: We're heading back to the warm embrace of DC comics for a look at the history of the one, the only The Swamp Thing.

Our theme music was composed by our wonderful friend Gwyn. You can find their work on Soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/hopefullynotbadlib.

Our podcast art was done by everyone's favorite co-host Emily.
