Finally, an episode you can really sink your teeth into! After Steve and Jason hash out the details on Fangr, their new dating app for vampires, they invite you in to listen to their review of Bree Paulsen's Patrik the Vampire.

DS 601: Urban Animal
The first episode on the other side of our first 600 takes a look at Urban Animal, a comic on Webtoons from a talented team who took inspiration from everything from Filipino folklore to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and created a great tale of teenagers transforming into animals. Jason prefers John Hughes-type lame parents to the cool mom and dad in this comic, but Steve is just concerned the libido of a wolf might be more than a young man/chimera can handle.

DS 599: Malevolent Demon Rats
When magic is present in any given webcomic world, you can bet that Steve will be grinning from ear to ear, partly because he loves it, and partly because he understands it better than Jason. This is true of the simple but fantastic Tistow by Elli Puukangas and Mark Thomas. Come for the possibly murderous wisp rats, stay for many, many people with loose morals.

It's not every day that a cute alien girl crash lands in your backyard and changes your life, possibly for good, but Kade certainly treats it that way in Pookie Senpai's Down to Earth. Steve is convinced this comic is plotted like a sitcom, explaining why he's not a huge fan and Jason doesn't buy that he never set foot in a Hot Topic.

Jason fills us in on all his horrible first world problems but still can't explain what smart watches are for. Fortunately we quickly get distracted by more important issues, like which superhero has the scariest wang. Find out what Jason did to get arrested in a quarry, why we avoided the last Fantastic Four movie, and why Jason is scared of Doctor Manhattan.

Episode 450: Another Milestone, NBD
This is it, Digital Strippers. The last time we'll talk about Pokemon Go on this podcast. At length. I think. But for this possible final discussion, Steve admits that he's the last man on Earth to try the game, while Jason laments the fact that his daughter just doesn't seem to watch to be the very best, like no one ever was. Once the pocket monsters clear out, it's time for webcomics!

Like everyone else in the world, we're playing Pokemon Go. Ok, Jason is, and he's relaying his thoughts and hot takes to Steve, who probably has by the time this posts. Right? Once they're free of the zeitgeist, it's on to webcomics! This episode, Jason introduces us to Rainbow Mansion and Brown Paperbag, while Steve wants everyone to check out what might happen in The Very Near Future. Do stick around after the outro for Jason's thoughts on adult coloring books and how Steve thinks the couple that creates together, stays together. Also, one of our first ever bleeped F-bombs!

Fast food is a wonderful thing, especially when experienced in moderation. Jason tends not to do things lightly though, so he provides us with his typical, weekly Taco Bell breakfast order. Meanwhile, Steve discovers that soda jelly is a thing. After that packed first segment, the second is no less a beast, with news items about Jason Shiga, Star Wars comics(?), Lunarbaboon, Wonderella, Broodhollow, Our Valued Customers, and Scenes From a Multiverse. Let that all settle with the post-outro conversation about the kinkiness of ladybugs and why the guys couldn't give a flying flip about Jonathan Brandis.

Roguealikes are a dime a dozen these days, but Steve and Jason think they found one and it's a thumb-busting, clip-emptying good time. Enter the Gungeon is one part gun porn, one part procedural generation, and two parts AH RUN SHOOT IT SHOOT IT DIVE ROLL AAAAAHHHHH. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Meanwhile, Steve challenges Super Art Fight to answer the call and show up in Utah. Are they up to the challenge? Also, Jason ... might not understand what whippets are.
