(I am *not* surprised that it exists, though I am surprised that Chris Ware hasn't issued a 78rpm shellac record of dixieland jazz that somehow ties in to Rusty Brown or Building Stories.)

@feral_yeet @Dantromp_ @GLucasTalkShow It almost makes me think maybe it *is* the real George Lucas who made a record in which @StevenCharlston sings a song from an Altman movie and Viserion the ice dragon sings a song from Hairspray with -- it must be said -- the real George RR Martin.

I decided that @GLucasTalkShow should publish its own "Special Edition" of Bleak House by Charles Dickens, and that we should reveal it at @NY_Comic_Con! It was fun to see a room full of people get excited about this. https://t.co/famFf21K5F https://t.co/cx5HdoBR3i

Hometown/MU campus (where I grew up/where I attended for 2 years but did not graduate) both briefly featured in drone footage during a montage set to an instrumental version of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" https://t.co/AQKn9UnlO4

A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood was in its Oscar campaign stage during season one of the podcast, and I wish he had won for this. It's such a nuanced & haunting performance. (I feel like after Walt Disney & Fred Rogers, we need a 3rd icon to complete the trilogy...) https://t.co/hmfiHMjozT

Highly recommended: @KaiserBeamz' multi-part (and ongoing) doc series about Merrie Melodies & Looney Tunes, all on YouTube... https://t.co/gaYd8K1YTS

The closest I ever got to being a "method actor" was when I was cast as the Tin Man in a production of The Wizard Of Oz when I was in high school. I thought the character was so boring that I decided to do a ton of research and read all the L. Frank Baum Oz books. https://t.co/57BNxJl2ED

I am a 21st century Orson Welles, not in the "I made Citizen Kane" way but in the "asking 'hey! who ate all my tapioca pudding?' bc I am embarrassed that *I* ate all my tapioca pudding" way

The newest volume of @fantagraphics' Complete Carl Barks Library contains some of the late period Junior Woodchucks stories written by Barks (and later re-illustrated by Daan Jippes to match his style) in which Uncle Scrooge is the villain. I was hoping these would be included! https://t.co/ITPBX6ItJo

@ConwayTweeter6 @DeadEyespodcast I have always avoided doing GLTS as an audio podcast bc I was worried it would attract too many angry Star Wars fans who would then get angry that it wasn't the real George Lucas.
