Leave a comment

Ho ho ho! Merry Shawn Pryor! Raph and I celebrate the holidays by spreading some cheer and promoting Mr. Pryor’s latest venture, Action Lab Entertainment, which we realized stands for ALE. Action Lab is in the midst of a Kickstarter Campaign to get their first book, Fracture, the financing it needs to cover distribution and printing costs. So please, if you enjoy Shawn Pryor and Comic Timing, put in some money to help on out! We also discuss the future of PKD Media, the rest of the books set to be released out of Action Lab and Raph, Shawn and I give picks for who would be on our Mt. Rushmore of Comics. Check it out!

Shawn is a not only a friend, but he’s one talented mofo who deserves the support of every single Comic Timing listener.

And did I mention the appearance of Dr. Levenstein? He’s my favorite character EVAR.
