In this audio preview of our Patreon-exclusive aftershow, Nat leads a quickfire discussion on "McNab" by Adele Pound, one of the six other comics we bought from LDComics Online Fair, but which didn't make the main episode. Aside from quickfire reviews, Yan and Nat also recorded themselves doing their online comic shopping and talking through their trains of thought. Unlike the physical artist alley, digital comic fairs are a relatively new channel of commerce, and this episode offers a fascinating view into how potential buyers browse and make selections. So whether you're a comic artist who participates in these fairs, or a fair organizer yourself, we think you'll take away something valuable from this episode.

Yan and Nat take a stroll down the virtual artists' alley at the LDComics Online Fair! Armed with a whopping £17 each, they fill up their shopping carts with comics that catch their fancy, and discuss two of them on air: "So That's THAT Story: Conversations with Mom" by Tenli Yavneh, and "The Last Letter" by Kai Dylan. The inaugural LDComics Online Fair ran from July 1 to 31, 2025. But wait! The conversation continues on the Comic Sans Aftershow, where Yan and Nat discuss the rest of their shopping hauls, with quickfire reviews of the six other comics they bought in preparation for this episode.

If you like Comic Sans, we think you'll love Party of One, a podcast about getting to know people through the shared experience of play. In this episode, host Jeff Stormer is joined by comics writer (and TTRPG creator!) Kieron Gillen for a monstrous game of Apocalypse Keys! Listen to Party of One wherever you get your podcasts. --- Kieron is the writer behind some of my favorite comics, including Young Avengers, Journey Into Mystery, and The Wicked + The Divine. His latest works include The Power Fantasy, about six superpowered individuals with the power to singlehandedly destroy the planet, and Die Loaded, the sequel to his incredible comic book/RPG combo Die, about a dark fantasy roleplaying game come to life.

Yan and Nat wander through the kaleidoscopic worlds of "Skip" by Molly Mendoza. --BZZT-- Hi, Scott here, producer on Comic Sans, seeking your help. It's usually my job to write these episode descriptions. And you may be wondering — why is today's so short? The answer to which is, because I'm lost for words on how to describe Skip. I really have no idea. So how about this — today, just listen to the episode. Or watch it on YouTube. In fact, just read the comic for yourself. And if you have any ideas at all as to how to write this description, email me at comicsans@andasproductions.com. Please? Thank you. --- In this episode, Nat reads pages 1–80.
