    On today's episode of Liminal Criminals, we finish the tale of infamous animator Mike Tommy, starting at his final days at Hizzy Productions, and continuing through his final days of, well, existing on this mortal coil in general.

We'll answer these questions here, only on Liminal Criminals.

Easily one of my favorites

This podcast is incredible! I searched "fake crime" as a joke, and from the moment I saw the pilot's title I was hooked. The storytelling is believable and the overarching plot of this universe's history is something I've spent quite a bit of time theorizing about. I was thrilled when you started uploading again. Thanks for brightening my days. :)

Wonderfully Bizarre!

The stories are delivered with all the style of a Midwestern evening news anchor, perfectly free of reaction to the nonsensical events being described. The writing is darkly hilarious. Mr. Breadsticks lives on in my heart. Thank you for creating this marvelous entertainment.
