It is my sincere pleasure to welcome The Pensky File's Clay McCormack to the podcast. We sat down for a balmy afternoon to discuss the episode "Three Men and a Comic Book," which was appropriate for us to discuss as longtime comic book aficionados ourselves (me as a reader/collector, him as someone who actually makes them). The episode is very funny, of course, but it also presents an authentic portrayal of comic book fandom and accurately captures a young boy's obsession with procuring an elusive book - not as a collector, per se, but for the sheer thrill of the classic story contained inside.  Clay and I discuss that; and we also discuss our own personal relationships with comic books. Something else that comes up, notably, is the marked differences between "classic" and "modern" Simpsons. The tone, the style of the jokes, etc. We almost get at the "why" for the dip in quality, if not necessarily the "when." We talked for an hour, folks!  And it's a good talk. Dig in.
