In this we tackle “Comics aimed at Children”, we didn’t go massively in depth but just touched some of our favourites, and had a brief chat about what classes as all ages and should the libraries review how the classify comics ages.

THAT COMIC SMELL: HEAVY COMICS

The new episode is online now.

From the web:

"This time on the podcast we get real. Like, really real. Yes, we are getting down, deep and dark by covering some “Heavy Comics”
That doesn’t mean we can’t have a good laugh along the way though. We have a little catch up, Mike has a little technical issue at the start and we gain an echo. Disclaimer! We did actually gain an echo near Nando’s books. There was a slight problem and we couldn’t get rid of it. It’s barely noticeable, but just so you folks know going in. It’s already heavy enough without the sound going that way as well.

THAT COMIC SMELL: Movie Chat

The new episode is online now.

From the web:

"You all missing the cinemas, movie theatres, picture houses? So are we. That’s why we have a special 2 part episode where we sit down and chat about our favourite films.

We recorded this episode back in November 2018. We really hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it. This first part is made up of some preamble, and Nando’s “Top 10” as you will see, very few of us managed to actually stick to just 10. Just wait until part 2 coming next week…

This and all the usual… well, film/movie chat this time, on…

Latest episode is up now!

From the web:

“What the hell is an internet?”
Hello everyone. That Comic Smell is joining the ranks of many other fine podcasts by going remote. Yes, we are unfortunately stuck like this for the next while so hope you all don’t mind our attempt at chatting over Skype. We finally get a chance to catch up and chat some good old fashioned comics. What we’ve been reading whilst stuck in doors. How we are all getting on with being indoors. How there are silver linings to every bad situation and a lot less chomping. None of us had any food. No Biscuits. No tea. It’s not right!

As a little bonus, head across to our Twitter (@ThatComicSmell) to get a daily recommendation from our very own Fernando (#NandosComicOfTheDay)

THAT COMIC SMELL: Holy Grails and Intention Fails

The latest episode is online now.

From the web:

“If at first you don’t succeed, wait a couple years and come back to it I guess ”
Hello! Hello! Welcome to another edition of That Comic Smell. This time we are discussing the books that we have sought after. The ones that have sat on the shelves with a proverbial halo around them and angel chorus. We are talking about our absolute holiest of “Holy Grails” but in the same breath we are also discussing the ones that have sat on our shelves dormant and unused, waiting for us just to pick them up one day and actually flick through without putting them straight back and declaring them “Intention Fails”

THAT COMIC SMELL: Justice League International Vol.4

The latest episode is online now, where we discuss Justice League International volume 4 - or as I prefer it, Justice League issues 23 to 30.

Yes, the thorny issue which first reared its head with volume two - that of whether these comics function well as book collections - comes up once again.

There is also a short discussion on Columbo, and why it's among the best TV shows ever made.

First though, I make good on numerous promises I made to bring in comics which were previously discussed.

Literally the meeting before we decided to do a podcast so this is a very special one for us. You will hear us figure out how long it’s been that we have been meeting up (roughly) to do these. We also talk about a whole host of incredible European titles from all over. Of course there is also a fair bit of rambling. We really hope you enjoy.

Welcome to this very special episode of TCSPod in which our heroes, David, Mike and Tom, take a trip to Harrogate to visit the 2019 Thought Bubble Comic Festival.

There is some sleep deprivation, some purchases talk, some creator interviews with the likes of Olivia Hicks (@missoliviahicks) Charles H Raymond (@not_so_tiny) Pete Taylor (@thismanthispete) & Vince Hunt (@jesterdiablo) , what our accommodation is like, how we were setting up, what went wrong over the weekend and so much more.
