Episode 26. We watched the pilot of Welcome to Eltingville, based on the comics of Evan Dorkin. It didn't go to series, but aired on Adult Swim on March 3, 2022 --- exactly 22 years ago to this day! [spooky thunderstorm clap] We discuss the evolution of nerd archetypes, good and bad comic book store experiences, trivia battles, and what we can learn from Star Trek.
