Artist & author Dan Hogan returns to chat Redshirts, webcomics, cartoons, and Tim Hortons. Also joining the conversation is the always hilarious Tina who shares podcast recommendations and laughter with us.

- Dan reminds us of Dinosaur Comics, talks Ryan North’s book, To Be or Not To Be and the podcast he heard the story on, MakeItThenTellEverybody.
- The happy podcasters review John Scalzi’s Redshirts, a parody of Star Trek. Honestly, you can enjoy the book without any prior Star Trek knowledge. In fact, you can read the first few chapters here.

- Tina is reading the The Daily Mail because she’s heard enough about Star Trek.
- Burger King wants to buy Tim Hortons to be closer to Chris. Well, that and to move their HQ to Canada and pay less in taxes.

- While Dan & Tina lament the size of the GVSU campus, Chris shares important advice about avalanches.
