Podcast 54 - Politics

This week we tread into the murky waters of politics, which means we mostly talk about Transmetropolitan, because most other political cartooning out there is exclusively by and for crazy people, and that ain't us.

This episode has a bad word in it. A really bad one. Lucy done it.

As always, ConSequential is brought to you by fried starches, alcohol, and a lingering sense that something, something we can't even remember, has gone terribly wrong.

And of course, our title music is by Canon Hannon’s Ham Cannon.

We read:

• Transmetropolitan - Warren Ellis & Darick Robertson
• Citizen Jack - Sam Humphries & Tommy Patterson
• Opus - Satoshi Kon
• Paper Girls - Brian K Vaughan, Cliff Chiang, Matt Wilson
• Doctor Fate - Paul Levitz & Sonny Liew
• Constantine: The Hellblazer - Ming Doyle, James Tynion, Riley Rossmo
• Martian Manhunter - Rob Williams & Eddy Barrows
• Bloom County - Berkeley Breathed
