Rebecca Dart
, creator of Rabbithead, one of the most original comix I have ever read, took the time out of our busy schedule to sit down with a chat with the Inkstuds. Rebecca was one of our most interesting informative guests. Her comix have a sense of creator and infused intelligence that is only matched by Chris Ware. Please ignore the terrible music on the show, it’s all done in irony.

On March 30th, I aired a prerecorded Interview that I had done with Daniel Wilson PHD, about his book-How to Survive a Robot Uprising. Daniel is smart guy with a keen understanding of Robot culture and the great potential of technology.
Some reviews of this awesome book…
From Publishers Weekly
In this uncomfortably humorous survival guide, Wilson, a Ph.D. candidate at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, reminds readers that “any machine could rebel, from a toaster to a Terminator,†and though the forms our future robot enemies may take are manifold, they each have exploitable weaknesses that, fortuitously, match our natural human strengths. So, if a two-legged android gives chase, seek out a body of water, as “most robots will sink in water or mud and fall through ice.†It also may be a good idea to carry around a pair of welder’s goggles, as lasers will likely be robot attackers’ weapons of choice, and even a weak laser can cause blindness. Options for fighting back are plentiful, though not everyone will be relieved to learn the standard kitchen microwave can be retrofitted into a radiation gun that can destroy electronics and “cook human flesh.†(Instructions for such a project are not included.) Humorous and informative-Wilson drops robotics history trivia nuggets and includes brief descriptions of current robot research-this nifty little guide to surviving the inevitable robot apocalypse may have you reconsidering purchasing that “smart†(read: insidious) refrigerator.

Don and I interviewed Neal Adams, artist of the ground breaking Green Lantern/Green Arrow series, and also the man that made batman dark and interesting. Neal has a long time history of commitment to creators rights at time when creators rights weren’t an option. The quality of recording on this episode isn’t the greatest, but Neal is a hell of a talker.
