Sekrit and Tomato touch on: things that have been tweeted about eight months ago that are only tacitly referenced in the actual comic; if Bitty is so small he could fit into a hockey bag, is he also so small he could fit inside someone's butt?; why nobody ever questions Jack's solid life plans. Also: what is a photo, though, actually?

We start to think about Bitty's relationship to masculinity, fandom id, migratory slash fandom, and general twinkhood while covering two of the most important debates of all time - Pie vs. Crumble and Roaches vs. Attic. Plus, Sekrit explains the Check Please Renaissance. Belated Hanukkah Sameach! And here's to more of Jack's butt in 2021, a resolution I think we can all get behind (ha ha).

2020-08-221h 00Check Displeasedep. 27 | 1.19 Playoffs - IIIs Check, Please! a soap opera? (No.) Is Check, Please! a slash fic? (Kind of?) Will Jack and Bitty ever do more than bonk their helmets together in front of a romantically hazy yellow background? (Please, that ship has sailed - they've bonked a lot more than that!). Tomato and Sekrit dip their collective toe into the turbulent waters of Jack and Bitty's power dynamics and the necessity of accepting violence in a contact sport before spending a fairly brief but still surprising amount of time dishing about Erica Kane?

2020-08-211h 19Check Displeasedep. 24 | 1.16 LinematesIn 1.16 Bitty gets put on the first line with Jack, and Sekrit and Tomato break down why Jack has such a problem with it -- he wants to fuck his dad, is that what the blog post is suggesting? -- and why Bitty should even care. Join in for a scintillating breakdown of how this strip is structured and what the vlog element is even doing here. We also get back to the comic's foundation myth via references to "Einhardt" and goons, and complain about Senor Bun. Less thematically important but kind of exciting: Jack's cheekbones make their debut...
2020-08-021h 11Check Displeasedep. 23 | SUPER SPECIAL EPISODE! Oppositional Fandom: South Park & Check, Please!Summer's hottest podcast is Check Displeased, and this episode has everything: truly incredible episode guest jovishark, a deep and fascinating dive into fandom ethics and the personal joys and costs of participating in fandom, at least three references to Bill Hader, South Park hockey classic "Stanley's Cup," and Sekrit's so-controversial-and-yet-so-brave suggestion that what really brings Check, Please! and South Park together is their shared libertarian ethos. Seriously––even if you're not a South Park fan, you should listen to this one.
Watch along with us: "Stanley's Cup," South Park season 10, episode 14. Hit us up if you need a link.
2020-07-302h 45Check Displeasedep. 22 | HS 4: ButtsOne comic into the new semester, were you already getting sick of the plot of Check, Please? Come on down to the bottom separatist commune, where Sekrit and Tomato dig into how the pacing of this comic makes no sense, and why the comedy-writing structure is solid but the jokes, not so much. Why are hockey asses so huge? Why are we told over and over again that Jack's ass specifically is very huge ... but it's never drawn like it is? How many ways are there to attempt to say that you think Jack is a bottom without using...
2020-07-261h 07Check Displeasedep. 21 | 1.15 LardoKicking off Bitty's second semester at Samwell, Sekrit and Tomato meet one of Check Please's most important and allegedly bro-iest characters! A rousing discussion about fine art, dicks, identity, Lardo's lack of on-page burping, the comic's use of a notable queer women's haircut ritual in service of gender conformity, and the ironic detachment of hipster fashion (such as it is) follows. Plus, we start thinking about whether Check Please is misogynist - for a certain value of misogyny.

2020-07-251h 16Check Displeasedep. 20 | Weird OMGCP fanficIt’s Check Displeased, but--! Nearly 60 percent of voters wanted an episode about weird fanfic, so here's our longest episode yet, all about that. Sekrit and Tomato define "weird fanfic" by first defining typical Check, Please! fanfic, then discuss a few of their favorites across the weird Check, Please! fanfic spectrum. Then, even though nobody voted for it at all, they get into some of their own past and future OMGCP fanfic. No ridicule or sporking, just reveling in absurdity. If this episode is bad, it's not our fault.

2020-07-191h 44Check Displeasedep. 19 | 1.14.5 Winter ScrewIs this strip canon? Who's even read this strip? Does this strip count for anything? Based on the amount of time Tomato and Sekrit spend actually discussing what happens in this slightly lackadaisical strip, the answer to all of these questions appear to be "Who cares?" Luckily, there's plenty of other important stuff to chew on: How much does it matter that Jack cosplays as his dad whenever he wears a suit? Will Jack die of CTE before Bitty graduates with his MFA? What have we learned over the past twelve weeks about how to make a podcast?
2020-07-161h 14Check Displeasedep. 18 | 1.14 The Closet Story - IIIn this actual final installment about the first semester of Bitty's freshman year of college -- as opposed to the conceptual last installment, a Kickstarter bonus strip, coming next episode of Check Displeased -- Bitty comes out to Shitty, and Shitty takes it in stride. Shitty, the protagonist of the comic. Three cheers for Shitty! Make love to me, Shitty! How would you like a list of all 10+ Check, Please! coming out arcs? Also, Sekrit and Tomato discuss how this comic is maybe kind of homophobic -- for a certain value of homophobia.

Ransom and Holster want to set Bitty up for the Winter Screw, and they know just who Bitty will love: a lady who bakes! Sekrit and Tomato discuss this strip's visual foreshadowing, Jack's reaction (or lack thereof) to Bitty's obviously gay character design, and the limitations of coming out narratives. Thus begins Check Please's first iconique arc, in which we discover Bitty's greatest secret - that he apparently hovers anxiously over his pies the whole time they're in the oven?

After a brief hiatus while winding down the 2019-2020 school year, Tomato and Sekrit are back with an all-new episode, in which Bitty scores a goal in a hockey game, and ... actually, that's pretty much everything that happens. Some nice visuals here, which we get into, along with the background info on the 2013 Yale men's hockey team you've been eagerly anticipating all podcast. Also: Isn't every shot a lucky shot?

Is Bitty overstepping here, and if so, what does that mean? We also discuss Jack's infamous symbolically potent yellow gym shoes and which shounen ai conventions made him so incredibly tsundere. Plus Sekrit drags Beyonce back into it to dig up the metaphorical applications of the fourth single from her third studio album, which we start to see coalescing in this strip.

2020-06-0545 minCheck Displeasedep. 11 | 1.8 Checking ClinicAll positive queer rep starts when you get someone out of bed at 4 in the morning and then drag them to an ice rink to experience repeated trauma, and ends when you propose to them at the site of the very trauma you forcibly inflicted. Maybe that's the moral of this comic? Hard to say! Just one of those things. Sekrit and Tomato discuss that, and also Lucille Ball again, and roller derby again, but it's no one's fault that formulaic sitcom writing and violent contact sports are relevant to this comic, okay. Also, this strip introduces us to...
2020-05-2549 minCheck Displeasedep. 9 | 1.6 The Hockey Prince (2/2)Sekrit and Tomato continue their look at Jack's backstory, going panel by panel through the strip with a particular eye to how the story's being told. Is there any logic in Jack's circuitous path to the NHL, or is he just a just a bad planner? Was he actually an addict? Really trying to kill himself? How disappointed is his dad, actually? The comic never answers any of those questions, but this strip very much raises them -- and gave OMGCP fandom a ton to chew on in the process. Also, click for some hot content about early-2000s...
2020-05-171h 07Check Displeasedep. 4 | 1.3 The CoachesThe coaches! Boy, did they impact the plot of Check, Please! Technically we meet them in the strip named after them, but as Sekrit and Tomato discuss, it depends on how you define the confusing concepts of "meet" and "them." Also: Is this where the plot begins? What's the difference between meanness and criticism in fandom? Plus we talk about Doonesbury, which is basically the same thing as Check Please, if you think about it. Except, you know, it's not. But we definitely get into it, don't worry, along with the terms "soft hands" and "spinorama."

Would you Get Married For The Boys? You wouldn't know it from this strip, but, the protagonist of this comic would! To the Most Important Character, no less, who we meet in this very episode!
