     Book (Sam)
     Briefcase (Reed)
     Honey (Shayne)

Lastly, keep checking the website here. We had a lot of extra audio footage that we thought was interesting but didn't quite fit into the podcast, so once it's all ready we'll produce another BONUS episode.

The Dish - Episode #29

Wed, 2 Apr 2008 07:59:00 GMT

News:
Here are the comics with the highest page count, right here on Comic Dish:

#3 - School Spirit Dutch 625 http://schoolspirit.comicdish.com

#2 - The Law of Purple 713 http://lawofpurple.comicdish.com

#1 - Cortland the Comic 817 http://www.cortlandcomic.com

We discuss the following topics:
Ted Rall: His recent apperance on Webcomics weekly and how he stirred things up a bit.

Word-it-up: How to make good and realistic dialogue for your webcomic

Crossing the borders: When a panel should or should not have a border around it.

Also, we have a bit of a bonus for you. Right after the extro music we have another segment. It's a bit of raw audio footage regarding Ted Rall. It sounded pretty good but there was no good way to incorporate it into the original segment without it sounding forced. So I just added it to the end of the podcast.

Don't worry though, the bloopers still come afterwards :)

And lastly, the Gag Reflex Words:

Xenophobe(Shayne)
Tangerine(Reed)
Shotgun(Sam)

No 'cast this week

Mon, 3 Mar 2008 22:53:00 GMT

Sorry, but there will be no podcast this week. I've been REALLY sick all weekend.

This week's podcast cancelled

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 08:45:00 GMT

We won't be doing a Dish this week.
We got together started things up, and everything pretty much went downhill. No one was particularly chatty, it seemed.
And we had an interview set up but they didn't make it online.

So unfortunately we won't be making an episode this week. Stay tuned for next week, however, and we'll have a great show for you once again.

The Dish - Episode 26

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:28:00 GMT

The Dish Episode 25 - Delayed

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 06:24:00 GMT

Picutre it. Sam, Reed and Shayne have just finished well over an hour of podcasting. They take the time to congratulate each other on a job well done.
Moments before the save button is it, the program crashes. The entire podcast is lost to the digital nether.

Suffice it to say we decided to simply postpone this weeks podcast until next week.

Sorry to disappoint, but next week we should have a backup system in place in order to prevent such disasters.

Until then! Take care!

The Dish - Episode 24

Wed, 6 Feb 2008 10:06:00 GMT

Sam rants.
Reed feeds the rant.
Shayne arrives late and botches things up.
Hilarity ensues.

In this episode we review No Need For Bushido, a very good comic. We also review the "How to Draw the Human Figure" instructional videos.

Listen, you'll like! :)

Almost Ready!

Wed, 5 Dec 2007 13:24:00 GMT

Episode 17 is nearly ready for you all. We had some more technical difficulties on monday, which lead to a very short episode. Instead of letting Shayne post it as it is, he's going to bring it to me, and after work I will add a little and put it up.

If anything goes wrong with that, Shayne will put up what we have now, so either way, you WILL get it tonight. :)

Postponed!

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 01:11:00 GMT

Well, twice we got together to make our podcast and twice we were plagued with technical problems. So we're taking this week off to do a number of things.
1. Exorcise the demons from the computer
2. Expunge the gremlins from the mixer board
3. get more coffee...because, you know, coffee is always good to have around.

In short, there won't be a podcast this week my friends, and I am truly sorry for that. We hope to have everything ironed out for next week.

Thanks for your patience!

The Dish #8: This Cake is Cheesy

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 23:48:00 GMT

NEWS

Find your Soul Geek
http://www.soulgeek.com

Dino Andrade, who does the voice for Skull on the PvP animated shorts has started a geek-only dating site.
looks less like a dating site and more like a convention site.
male seeking female replaced with fan-guy seeking fan-girl

The site is free to join which allows you access to most of the site. You can recieve messages and respond to those messages which is really the most important part of a dating service. But i think you need to be a paid member to send out the initial message. The site faq is unclear about this.

Paid memberships run from $9.95 to $14.95 and gives you access to create and blog and fan fic, space to add plenty of pictures, and 7 live chat rooms. Again, the FAQ doesn't say what the difference between the prices are.

There's a 'dealer room' which currently has 1 tee for sale, promoting the site.

Currently, their search engine only works with US postal codes so us out of country-ers are out of luck when it comes to using one of their search engines. Fortunately we're still able to navigate the site and connect with others in the same city.

What are you afraid of?

A new community project has popped up on Drunk duck right in time for Hallowe'en. It's called "Clowns, Spiders and Ghosts...What are you afraid of?
This url is too large to show on the front page.

Created by TheMidge28, the idea behind this is to have different artists post comics about their fears, be it their own or someone elses. Midge posts new comics every second or third day.
Midge admits coming up with the idea one night while drifting to sleep.
The only guidelines to follow are the page size should be roughly the size of a standard legal sized letter and should have the phrase "I am afraid of..." along with the name of your fear.

Drunk Duck Awards

Drunk Duck awards are as follows(not sure if we want to go through them all or just offer the URL, but here's me helping with the work =D)

One chimp, two chimps, three, four, however many you want, doing whatever you want, somewhere in the logo design. It also has to be 638px(width)by 237px(height),in jpeg format.

The random comic is Atland.

The Dish #4 - A Very Brobdingnagian Episode

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 00:42:00 GMT

Episode number 4 of the Dish is a little long, but well worth it. Today we have with us Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee of the Brobdingnagian Bards. It was a very fun conversation that I've been wanting to have for a long time.

Unfortunately, Shayne was unable to join me today, so the news is just me talking, and I didn't have access to the music that he usually edits in, so there is no intro or exit music (will add later).

Finally, I also discuss the webcomic Tastes Like Chicken, which all of you should go and check out.

The DIsh #3 - Smack the Jeeves

Wed, 22 Aug 2007 17:52:00 GMT

In episode 3 of The Dish we talk about Smackjeeves, a free webcomic hosting service, and we get to interview Dan, the creator of the site, as well.

Our random comic this week is Return Zero, and next week it will be Tastes Like Chicken, so if you want your opinion aired, make sure to go to the forum and tell us.

Finally, JT from the Gigcast has created a webcomic podcast site, which both lists the webcomic podcasts and shows you all of the latest posts from them. Cool beans!

The Dish #2 - To the MAX!

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 23:11:00 GMT

Episode #2 of the Dish. Today we have Reed Hawker (Hawk) and Mary (Modesty) of the MAX. The Multi-Artist Exchange is a system that has two rounds a month in which participants have their names put in a virtual hat, mixed up, and handed out. Everyone draws for someone else, everyone gets art, it's all around a great thing to participate in.

We start our Random Comic segment with Been Better.

In comic news, Looking for Group has a short animated music video where Richard, the undead warlock, sings a parody of "Part of your world" from the Little Mermaid. They have announced that they are having a full-length feature film made about the comic by Blind Ferret, the same company behind the PvP animated shorts.

The Dish #1 - And it begins...

Thu, 9 Aug 2007 11:42:00 GMT

Finally, the very first Comic Dish podcast. In this episode, we tell you a little bit about what you can expect with the Dish, and we manage to snag JT and Scott (not Tim... sorry Scott!) from The Gigcast to come in and chat with us. It was a terribly fun episode to tape, and I think you'll love it.

You won't love some of the technical issues with it (some echo, some not-so-clear talking), but hey... it's our first.

So give it a listen, and when you're done check out Comic Dish. While you're at it, check out The Gigcast as well!
