Customer Reviews
For Dave
I just wanted you and Brad to know that Comic Lab has earned the official Hairy Toe Knucklers of America Seal of Approval.
This also automatically puts you in the running for our annual award: The Hirsute Hoof.
(Wait until you see the statue)
Personally there’s nothing I love more than listening to this podcast while enjoying a cool beverage as I comb my toes.
My hairy, oh-so-hairy, toes.
Love the show, guys! 😎🦶🦶
Infectious (in good way)
Fun and informative! Infunative?
I am 50, but wondering if Dave and Brad would consider adopting me. I promise not to ruin the carpet.
Brad and Dave Sound like cartoonists
I’ve been a professional cartoonist for decades, and also used to work in animation. These gentlemen are funny, and they sound as though they have done animation voice over work. If you are trying to cut down on coffee, this podcast will keep you awake, and it offers a great insight into the current comics field right now.
