11 O'Clock Comics Episode 174

[bizreal1015]

Great episode guys, love it every week.

I hope to hear more Carol Channing in episodes to come, fits in well with Chester 5000 and Crossed.

Wood quoted the R-Kelly "Fiesta" remix with Jay-Z and it completely went under the radar.

I see you, fam! Good look. 

One of the best episodes and forum commentary I've heard and read in a long time.

Nice work, gents.

Awesome show guys, I can not thank you enough for it.  Love the different topics that were covered. 

Vince, have you checked out Paul Pelletier's work on the Malibu version of Ex-Mutants that came out in the 90's?  That was the first time that I came across his work back in the day and have always had a special spot in my heart for that series.  Even then Paul had a special gift with the cheesecake.   

Thanks again for the great show and I can't wait till next week.

Ex-Mutants was fun stuff.  Early Ron Lim back then, too.

really? I don't remember Lim. Maybe I'm thinking Protectors...

I believe Lim did work on Ex-Mutants when it was at Eternity Comics.  I could be wrong.  Ex-Mutants was great, loved the concept but the only stuff I read was when Malibu did it.

You are correct, sir! Lim penciled most of the first Eternity run (Have 'em all). Pelletier penciled the Malibu run up to the crossover (Genesis?). My run of the Malibu series is like DAP's undies: SPOTTY! 

Lim's run is a hoot. That freaky cross-eyed guy with the 'fro cracked me up EVERY. TIME. 

Ron also had quite a way with anatomy back then. Folks that cry foul over Liefeld's stuff should take a peek at Lim's early work. It's dripping with enthusiasm (Ewwww...) and THAT is the stuff that kicks it up a few notches higher than most of the books that flooded the market during the B&W boom. I'd never part with the run.

Cyclops is a womanizer??

Also if you post an episode- you should create a post here for that number
day and date.

I have no idea why you comment on current episodes in the archives when they are posted on the non-archived board as soon as they are released.

Maybe it's like an April Fool's Day joke type thing. But weekly.

And not funny.

[ericmci]

I see

Well maybe the current episodes should be listed about the archives and child boards.

When you are new to the site you load the forum page and on a 15 inch laptop(a very popular size)
The current episode post is under the fold- shouldn't it be right on top as most current?
It's already confusing enough that a user looking for 11 o'clock forums has to go to http://bullpenbulletinspodcast.com/forum then the bullpen then scroll down past the archives and the child boards to then find the most current episode?
For the initiated and the creators of the forum I am sure that seems perfectly natural but to others it may not.

When I first joined the board I went straight to the archive to look for the latest episode and didn't find it in there. So your comment is valid. That said, you already know where the new episode is going to be. So why not just go there? You're probably just trying to make a point but it may not be the best way to go about it.

And as for this...

you should create a post here for that number

Why not assign yourself to be the guy that does this? It can be your little contribution to the board.

Depends on the resolution, I guess.

But it says Archive right in the board's title.

If I could move the child/sub-boards to the bottom of the screen, I would. 

Maybe.
