Christmas Crossover!

Added 2020-12-23 16:58:10 +0000 UTC

Hey Traxians. Conor here. I wanted to share a little Patreon synergy here. Why? Well, don't you remember what the guy said in Love Actually? "Because it's Christmas, and at Christmas you have online holiday crossover events." What's that? That's not what he said at all? Well, excuse me, I had the TV on mute. What's that? He didn't even say it? He held it up on posters so muting the TV shouldn't affect my comprehension at all? LOOK WE'RE OFF TO A BAD START!

Some of you may have heard the podcast Mike and I do, 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back. Check it out, we're reading Ready Player Two now. It's really terrible!! Anyway, this year we started a sub-podcast of it called "Meet The Authors", where one of us creates the biography of a fictional author and then our cartoonist buddy Bob Fingerman illustrates it, and then we interview the "author."

Well, this week Bob created a character who starred in Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny as a child, then went on to write a series of spy novels starring Santa. Obviously starring in the movie made a huge impact on the rest of his life, but we had no idea to what extent it traumatized him!

Mike portrayed the author and filled us in on all sorts of details regarding the guy in the ICB costume, Rebel the onset dog, and the convention circuit you might find some members of the cast reuniting at.

We do a couple of these segments a month over at the 372 Patreon, so join us if you want to hear more! Hurr Hurr Hurr!
