It’s a full crew on this episode recorded last October, with Jim, Mark, Ben, and Tom discussing:

• Horror
• Star Trek
• Sci-Fi comedy
• Other things!

(You may already have this one from the temporary episode archive on the forum – or you may not.  Either way, enjoy!)

New teeth. That’s weird.

Welcome to the all new homepage for PodWarp 1999, the scifi webcomic podcast. At some point we’ll start re-uploading all the old episodes, but for now just look at how pretty the site looks. It’s nice, isn’t it?

Episode 30 still needs some editing, and it was a holiday-themed episode anyway – so we’re going to save that one for another holiday.  (Maybe Valentine’s Day?  Arbor Day?  National Prune Yogurt Day?)  So instead we’re going to go with Episode 31 today, with guest Tom Dell’Aringa of Marooned!

Some show notes:

• Marooned
• The evolution of a strip from gag-based humor to stories
• Preparing for books
• Trailers, animation, stories, and other things in a webcomic’s extended universe
• Conventions and merchandise
• T-shirts
