The reasons have nothing to do with fear of retribution but more of how big the archives are. White Ninja Comics is an example of this with it's 600 strips.

This was interview was a combination of not wanting to submit someone to reading 10 years of archives, annoyance of not yet reviewing this fantastic strip, and just plain wanting to talk about grad school.

Back from my brief break to bring you a fresh interview with Scott McCloud. He was in my area for a couple of days, so I made it a point to catch his lecture and subsequently interview him. If you get a chance to see one of his lectures, I'd highly recommend it. http://media.libsyn.com/media/digitalstrips/smccloud.mp3 Fri, 8 Dec 2006 09:15:00 EST 0:26:45 comic,strip,web,webcomic,comic,art,drawing,draw Daku and Shaenon Garrity Review of Dicebox The good times keep rolling in as we have yet another guest host for you.

Well this time Ryan picks a strip to review and it's one that has been in my queue waiting to talk about. http://media.libsyn.com/media/digitalstrips/digitalstripsshow96small.mp3 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 23:00:00 EST 0:32:38 comic,strip,web,webcomic,comic,art,drawing,draw Daku and Reva Sharp Review of Malfunction Junction We 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. http://media.libsyn.com/media/digitalstrips/digitalstripsshow95small.mp3 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 22:10:00 EST 0:32:13 comic,strip,web,webcomic,comic,art,drawing,draw Daku and Kevin Volo Review of Sam and Sam This episode marks the first in our series with guest hosts.

This is one I wasn't even aware of until he rented a month's space on the side. Thanks to Midnight it was bumped up from it's place in the queue to be highlighted on the show. Join us for perhaps the most sarastic comic on the cyberweb. http://media.libsyn.com/media/digitalstrips/digitalstripsshow92small.mp3 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:55:00 EST 0:33:37 comic,strip,web,webcomic,comic,art,drawing,draw Daku and Phil Kahn Review of Genrezvous Point As 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. http://media.libsyn.com/media/digitalstrips/digitalstripsshow91small.mp3 Wed, 11 Oct 2006 15:25:00 EST 0:32:32 comic,strip,web,webcomic,comic,art,drawing,draw Daku and Phil Kahn Interview with Scott Rosenberg and Dylan Squires Monday of last week the NYT once again released an article that caused quite a stir in our little community.

You're probably discovering by now that with Weds and Phil on the same line it's hard to keep them going in a straight line. In this episode we take a look at this beautifully drawn strip. Oh, an that's my heavy breathing you hear...damnit. http://media.libsyn.com/media/digitalstrips/digitalstripsshow75small.mp3 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 02:00:00 EST 0:38:37 comic,strip,web,webcomic,comic,art,drawing,draw Daku and Wednesday Review of Sequential Art How can you resist a comic with a name like Sequential Art?
