Annyong! This week on a sleep-inducing sixth episode of the Crankcast:
- Mike & Crank recall the weekend and reflect on how collaboration can be fun.

Hey fellas, I loved the newest show as I am a huge fan of 80’s X-Men, Claremont, thought balloons and crippling social disorders. I actually thought that staying at home all day holed up in a studio sounds like fun. Better then working all day then drawing all night.
Toodles.

Ryan, glad you liked it. Let this mark the first step forward in the use of thought balloons again!
Heya David! How’d you know that we were going to do a Khonshu segment? I dug those issues out as well when I was grabbing the X-men. Thanks for the link, the more info the merrier!
Thanks for listening,
crank!

Crank, funny stuff, but that Norton guy is dragging you down!
You should get jon B cooke on nto talk about ATLAS. His Comic Book Artist mag did a tribute issue which covered their publishing history pretty well.
Outstanding show.

Hey Crank!
How did I know about the Khonshu segment? Beats me. Maybe we are on the same wavelength :)
By the way, Mike, to help improve your conversational skills, have you thought about talking to other comic writers and artists via Skype (http://www.skype.com – an Internet telephone program) while drawing at home?
Does anyone know if next week’s show be delayed due to the Thanksgiving holidays?
Best,

John, trust me … if anyone doing the dragging here it’s me. Mike’s a perrrrrsonality!
David, The next show will be on schedule, we just work in comics we don’t follow the habit of being late with em!

Crank & Mike:
I just got caught up and I’m lovin’ the show. Mike sounds just like Jeff Bridges. And Crank hails from Cincy, just like me! Yipee Skippee!
Can’t wait for the next show. Keep up the good work!

hey fellers!–a friend of mine put me on to your podcast, so i’m trying to catch up..still i thought i’d comment here and there…
mike–i feel your pain! i also spend too much time alone!! but i do have geek friends who help me to be more social–i think you’re on the right track with your skull session things…
sorry to say, i’m not a big fan of the zombie genre, but i did think that your comments were both humorous and eriudite…
that’t it for now!
you new big fan!
