THAT COMIC SMELL: European Comics

The new episode is online now.

From the web:

“¡Aquí! Necesitas escuchar este episodio de ese olor cómico o de lo contrario”

buen día! bonne journée! Schönen Tag! And a good day to you! Welcome to our all European comics special. We last did one of these before the mics were even turned on. 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.

This and all the usual comics chat on the only comics podcast to go from Paris to Berlin but every disco we went in our hearts weren’t quite pumping for love…

THAT COMIC SMELL 45: Slice of Life

The new episode of the podcast is online now here.

From the web:

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”
It’s time for That Comic Smell to take a massive Slice of Life. Indeed, it is time for us to take a look at diary comics, a moment cut out of time, fiction that very much mimics life stories and so much more. We go from absolute belly laughs to comics that leave you heartbroken. All with an added deviation, where the folks here get into the real “Geek” of it all and talk shelf organisation. GET IN!
This and all the usual comics chat on the only comics podcast that can be stacked on a physical shelf…

From the web:
“WE TOLD YOU SO!”
We are diving into the truly sublime, the absolute cream of the crop, the comics greatness that is “Fantagraphics” David brings along only a fraction of his vast FG collection to show off. We discuss how some of their collected titles are published in the UK. We each take a turn appreciating the greatness of this legendary comics publisher and all whilst having an incredible special guest…
Yes, we are joined by the ever so talented ‘Charles H Raymond’ Creator of such titles as ‘Death Inc. , Chlorophyll, Dust and so much more that you can find here www.notsotiny.co.uk/index.html
We also explore our opinions on movies these days and a little trip down memory lane via our television nightmares growing up.
