So obviously it’s been a while since the KFC Double Down was released. Perhaps you have tried it. But in the event that you haven’t, we have provided you with a guided tour of sorts to what you might expect.
This also probably tells you roughly when we recorded the lastest Normaltivicast! Which, we think, is finally #9, even though I’m fairly certain we’ve established at least one or possibly two others as Normaltivicast #9.
But this is #9. Probably.
So obviously, our output speed has slowed considerably. Some would suggest that this is because we are “abandoning” you. I can assure you we are not! It has more to do with us being “lazy”. That and Spencer is finally starting to learn that having five jobs means sometimes having to do work. And I am learning that there are many things to do in what I would call my “free time” – which I have much of, again, since I don’t do the drawing.
Perhaps I should learn to draw. Or, I could continue to sit here and do nothing. That sounds slightly easier.
Anyway, in this installment of the Normaltivicast! we eat the Double Down live (to recording) to let you know how it is, Dan wants to know why people bother him instead of using the Google, and Spencer takes us down a “Transformers”-based rabbit hole that you just can’t come back from (spoiler alert: it involves Megan Fox, Shia, and Bumblebee).

P.S. – This Normaltivicast features special guest Jason Arimoto of the band JMD, but oddly, the backing music comes not from JMD but from the band Silence is Sexy – “This Ain’t Hollywood”. If we had planned better perhaps we would have borrowed some music from JMD. Maybe next time.

Hi all,
You might have noticed that we haven’t posted a comic in a little while. Two weeks, in fact!
We also have not done a normaltivicast in the same amount of time.
So the question you’re all asking: what happened? Have you guys quit?
The answer is no. We have not quit. We are, however, having some difficulty getting our schedule together, and the every-week-we-must-create-new-things stress was getting to Spencer, which makes things difficult for us since he’s the one that does all the work.
Plus he has that new job that keeps him busy and whatnot. I mean, I’m trying to learn how to use Illustrator, but let’s be honest, I’m a writer, and as such have no real demonstrable skill in anything else.
Anyway. In the interest of trying to create the best work we can (and let’s face it, there were a couple of weeks there where even we were saying “yeah it’s not out best, but we’ve got to get something out there.”), we’re going to on a “whenever we feel like it” update schedule for the foreseeable future. At least until Spencer makes some money, and certainly until I learn how to use Illustrator.
But with such an uneven update schedule, how will you keep up?
Why, by following us on Twitter, of course! Or by becoming our fan on Facebook! Or with that RSS feed thing up there! So many ways to keep you posted!
Now we just have to create something…

So after we took a week (ish) off between podcasts, part because of Spencer’s crazy busy schedule, and part because Dan has been traveling, we return, more awesome than before. Or at least, just as awesome.
This week we give props to those who whine request them, as well as those who have donated (donate button is just over to the right, there) to our righteous cause. We also talk about healthcare woes, Rush Limbaugh and Jesus’ inevitable return.
Comic of the week: Shi Long Pang (http://www.shilongpang.com)
Music this week from Alexander Hamilton (formerly Mr. Westmore) – Misplaced Orchestra.
