Why Not?! Read Alpha Flight with Chris & Tom

Shownotes Transcript

Welcome to Why Not?! Episode 25: “Pucking Around and Finding Out”

Well we’re back from C2E2 and boy howdy was that a good time. Great meeting folks and finding out just how many folks can recognize Puck in the wild (and were incredibly excited to see the costume!). We’re back in your ears today with a deep dive on issue 31 and the return of Deadly Ernest.

In this episode, Chris:

  • does an incredible amount of Puck voicework. Really think he’s only going to speak as Puck in the very near future
  • recounts the worst job he ever had, which does connect to this issue. Sort of

and Tom:

  • theorizes John Byrne may have held his characters and their lives hostage
  • gets a basic Canada fact wrong, which is very much not his role on this podcast
