This episode covers comics filed between 3-D Zone and Batgirl & the Birds of Prey. Titles discussed include (but are not limited to) Baker Street, Alter Ego, Ambush Bug ,& The Adventures of Mr. Crypt & Baron Rat.
How embarrassing is this discussion to the professor?

Six years ago today (a few weeks ago, that is), our very first Shortbox Showcase episode debuted. Yes, other shows in the network had gone live the week before, but since this has become our flagship program, we consider 7/30/13 as our official network starting date.
In addition to covering some feedback, and talking about how awesome our listeners are and all that, Professor Alan talks about a new campus club that he is helping get off the ground.
Then we start with our ANNUAL tradition of talking about an ANNIVERSARY comics issue. In this case, it's the recent Detective Comics 1000, celebrating Batman's 80th anniversary.

Five years ago today (a few weeks ago, that is), our very first Shortbox Showcase episode debuted. Yes, other shows in the network had gone live the week before, but since this has become our flagship, we consider 7/30/13 as our official network starting date.
In addition to covering some feedback, and talking about how awesome our listeners are and all that, we talk about what we have planned for our next year of podcasting, and how the last year of podcasting went.
But we start with our ANNUAL tradition, by talking about an comic book Annual ... except we actually don't talk about, out friends ACT IT OUT! That's right, this episode includes an actual AUDIO DRAMA version of the story "Animal Kingdom," from the 2017 Super Sons Annual #1.
