SOMETIMES I CAN'T FIND MY GOOD HABITSYou hear that? Of course you do, it's startling, nigh on deafening! It's the NEW HIGH CONCEPT ALARM! Unfortunately the new thing doesn't know what it's called. Drifting Reviewniverse? Random Reviewniverse? Adventure into Indeterminacy? Let's read with Ian Determinate? The idea is simple. A random English language comic from the last 90 years or so is chosen, read and talked about. This episode it's Here's Howie #9 and it's talked about by Gary Lactus and Al To AstonishGet more Al To Astonish at House To AstonishYou can support us using Patreon if you like. Hosted on Acast.

During the 1 hr 33 mins of this podcast we speak of Breakdown Press</a>, Baby, Angouleme, Croix-Noire, 2000AD Extreme Editions, Peter Milligan's The Dead, Meltdown Man, Ra
