Morrie Turner's Wee Pals imagines "what if Peanuts was integrated?" Featuring a rainbow coalition of kids from all races, religions, and abilities, Wee Pals is a piece of aspirational art imagining a better future. And Rankin-Bass's animated adaption "Kid Power" certainly shares that ethos. Join us for a discussion of the mildly didactic Kid Power TV series. (WARNING!!! There's some discussion about racism in this one)

After the failure of the Dick Tracy movie, Warren Beatty was so mad at the studio that he decided to make sure the studio never regained the rights to make another Dick Tracy movie. To that end, every 12 years or so he makes a weird avant garde art piece dick tracy zoom interview intended to be seen by no one... but which allows him to retain copyright! Artist, author and adventurer Ryan Estrada joins us to talk about these delightful exercises in spite.

Jules Feiffer's comics in the Village Voice were THE THING back in the swingin' 60s or maybe the 50s, but we still remember them best as the thing that the last liberal wanted to read before he got got by Milo and Cutter John in Bloom County. Well, Feiffer wrote a movie script based on his comics back in the 80s and it got lost for 30 years, but now they found it and they made it. Bernard and Huey... get old!

Everyone knows Prince Valiant, the comic strip that's NO FUN. You look at that wall of text and those serious illustrations and you just know this is a scam -- it's no whimsical fun comic strip, it's probably trying to teach you something! In 1997, Prince Valiant was adapted into a theatrical film with Katherine Heigl, Ron Pearlman, Warwick Davis, and Joanna Lumley, which, in a different world, might have filled the Krull-shaped hole in our hearts... If only!
