EP 212: SIn City: That Yellow Bastard




Dad and Patrick read another tale from Frank Miller’s Sin City.  Dad shows he knows the email address but he still does not need emails.  Questions via email about reading too much dude related comics and where places are in the land of Sweden are answered.

Patrick blathers on and on about how much he loves the artwork, negative space and woodcut style art.  Dad has lots of questions of about old men and heart attacks.

Patrick and Dad agree it is a bleak work that is fun to look at but maybe is a bit too hard boiled even for these gumshoes.

Dad misses out on a breakfast feast and Patrick tells a story about his nephew fighting his cat.
