Comics You Can Dance To is Comics Bulletin's official podcast!

Hosted by Nathaniel MacDonald and Danny Djeljosevic (that's me) and supported by various jokers and guests, Comics You Can Dance To is devoted to discussing cool comics, pop culture nonsense and hopefully introducing you to some awesome music along the way.

This week our guest is Dave Elliott, a comics industry veteran who's worked as a writer/editor/consultant with a diverse assortment of publishers: Epic Comics, Heavy Metal, Radical, Atomeka, Penthouse Comics, Benaroya Publishing, Marvel and DC, and was even the head of Tundra UK -- which is something I definitely asked him about, because I'm totally fascinated by that venture. He's got a few promising material of his own in the works: The Weirding Willows, Monster Massacre and Odyssey, along with editing the issue of Heavy Metal due out in July.

It's a great, long talk full of amazing anecdotes, including a story about what REALLY happened with the return of Marvelman/Miracleman  -- that is, the parts he could say on the air.

Comics You Can Drink To

In this episode we invented a drinking came for the podcast! MAD PROPS to Niel Jacoby for coming up with the best possible name for it.

If you need to be drunk to listen to us (hey, I'm not judging), drink every time:

• Nate forgets the name of something
• Nate gets the name of something wrong
• Danny promises to lend Nate a copy of something Nate hasn't read
• There's an interminable lull, followed by awkward laughter
• Danny cannot describe why he likes a comic
• Danny spells out his name in a singsong fashion

Finish your drink:

• Whenever Nate and Danny do the time paradox joke and bring attention to the fact that they record the podcast out of order

Show Notes

• American Juggalo, that amazing documentary about the attendees of the Gathering of the Juggalos, is online at Vimeo
• The ICP song Nate refers to is called, charmingly, "Fuck the World"

• Check out Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant at delilahdirk.com
