Welcome to Why Not?! Episode 8: “Is SASLD Walter Langkowski Actually Boring?!?!”
It’s a short one this week folks! (Don’t worry we’ll make up for it with…however long Episode 9 will be (very long).) We cover a two-issue solo adventure for Sasquatch (which probably should’ve been a single issue…at most), Snowbird’s origin, and Sasquatch’s origin! A lot of Walt and yet hardly much at all to say about it. Despite the length, there are more than a few opportunities to toast death, sex, failure, and team-ups!
In this episode, Chris:
- almost starts a conversation about when life begins (specifically regarding the pregnancies of gods)
- does some incredible work fitting everything into the timeline
Tom:
- really wants to bring back the concept of conferring “boons”
- suggests that JMH should be careful about throwing stones re: the age of one’s partner (not that he does! But he should still be careful)
Issues covered:
