SS #037 - Happy Anniversary!

Two years ago today (almost), our very first Shortbox Showcase episode debuted. Yes, the other shows in the network had gone live the week before, but since this has become our flagship show, we consider 7/30/13 as our official network starting date.


After covering some feedback, and talking about how awesome our listeners are and all that, we talk about a new side project we are getting up and going.

And then we continue an ANNUAL tradition, by talking about an comic book Annual ... get it? We talk about Denny O'Neil, Steve Ditko, Batman, Rorschach, Green Arrow ... and more!


The Question Annual #2, 1989. "Losing Face," by Denny O'Neil, with art by Bill Wray and Shea Anton Pensa.
