A Quick Discussion of "McNab" by Adele Pound | Aftershow Preview

Dec 25th, 2025 9:00 AM

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.
