35 - No Gamble, No Life with Robert Newsome

Katie and Sally are joined by Robert Newsome, co-organizer of FLUKE comics and zine festival in Athens, Georgia and creator of The Atomic Elbow wrestling fanzine. The first half of the show we talk FLUKE shop, then a discussion on “The Pits of Hell” by Ebisu Yoshikazu (Breakdown Press edition, 2019). Topics discussed include gambling, sleepy salarymen, Patrick Dean, the sunken cost fallacy, Bizarro-Wuxtry, pachinko, boat races, Vegas, running a comics show post COVID, and more.
