Digital StripsDS 122 : Review of Lucid TVWhen Brandon was invited originally it was inhopes that he would pick webcomics better then Phil. This pick proves that even those with good taste falter sometimes. For the 80% of the listeners that disagree with my taste in comics you'll probably love this sadistic version of Scrubs (http://www.lucid-tv.com)
2007-07-1216 minDigital StripsDS Update for June 24th 2007Wow, what an improvement in the audio quality.

The next update better have some wonderful stuff about Otakhan.

2007-02-0834 minDigital StripsDS 107 : Review of Zed ReckoningWe're back with another contestant of the Webcomic Idol. This time with another Zombie strip because you can never have enough Zombies. Oh wait, apparantly Zombie is not the political correct terminology for our sentient yet dead reality challenged friends. Find out from Phil the correct term and that he actually liked one of my picks. Thus we present to you Zed Reckoning (http://www.zombiegrotto.com/).
2007-02-0229 minDigital StripsDS 106 : Review of Breakfast of the GodsPhil actually managed to pick a good strip. All three of us couldn't help but completely over-analyze this strip and make completely random predictions. Also to make my life a living hell my laptop has decided to record a huge amount of ambient noise so loud you can't hear Phil. I tried using noise removal but now it sounds like I'm in a cave. Hopefully you can ignore that annoyance to follow along with BOTG: http://www.webcomicsnation.com/poyorick/botg/series.php

2006-12-1226 minDigital StripsDS 98 : Interview with Scott McCloudPhil here. Back from my brief break to bring you a fresh interview with Scott McCloud.

2006-12-0826 minDigital StripsDS 95 : Review of Malfunction JunctionWe have another guest host for you. This time we have Phil's arch rival Reva Sharp but don't worry as she has picked a surprising refreshing strip. Normally the only journal comic I like is Devil's Panties but if you manage your way through the archives you'll find some of the best sarcasm and random life jokes I have had the pleasure to laugh at.
2006-11-1732 minDigital StripsDS 91 : Review of Genrezvous PointAs much as Phil loves film it was only a matter of time before he found something like this strip to help him find his happy place, but then I don't like to talk about the bridge, it brings back memories I'd rather forget. Anyways we have for you an editorial strip that has some really insightful comments on the movie industry even if I do find it a little pretentious.

2006-09-2529 minDigital StripsDS 85 : Review of YossarianTaking advantage of our audience Phil grabbed a comic from his recent plea for comics.

2006-06-1433 minDigital StripsDS 75 : Review of Templar, ArizonaI swear we cut back to one comic per show to bring the time of the review to under 30 minutes.

Oh, an that's my heavy breathing you hear...damnit.
