This week, Dave was off in the America doing a business travel, or gentrifying Portland or something. We're not quite sure. Apparently there were food trucks. This left Lucy and Roger to go feral in the best way they know: by eating an enormous fancy cheeseboard and talking about queer comics.

We delve into the origins of lesbian & gay cartooning, eat a "cute brie", pontificate on structural inequalities, and feed Rogger his first Cheesestring.

That part ain't pretty, but the rest is comics.

The podcast wine today was an unremarkable Chinon.

We also asked for queer webcomic recommendations.

So why not do that in the comments, if you're a generally kind sort.
