The Title of this Episode is – this New Graphic Novel, Beneath, is really good so far, Part 1
Hello, you’re listening to Cookies and Milk and Shadow Work, I’m your host, and my name, is Will.
So, for Shadow work today, what I realized is, you don’t have to read a graphic novel in one sitting. You should be able to decide how much you want to read, and go from there. If you realize within yourself that what you are reading is still interesting, but you don’t feel like reading anymore, you are absolutely free – to put the book down and go back to it later. No one is going to punish you.
For instance, my new poetry book, “If Scumbags Wrote Poetry”. https://lemondropannex.gumroad.com/l/iswpoetry
I honestly think more people would buy it if they really understood that they are not expected to read all the poems at once. I don’t want that for them. I think they should read only eight of these poems a day, maybe ten tops, and then when they finish the poetry book, they will have definitely, definitely enjoyed the book way, way more.
And the same is true for this new graphic novel called “Beneath,” which is written by Steven S. DeKnight with Art by Michael Gaydos, and Published by Comixology Originals. We, the collective we – meaning myself and the listener, will go deeper into the Creators of this Title further in the next episode. And I know it sounds like I’m being condescending by explaining about reading a quote unquote comic book in more than one sitting, but the truth is that I just don’t want you, the listener, to make a mistake that I almost made myself. I thought that I was supposed to read Beneath in one or two nights. But honestly, I don’t want to do that. I want to read this bad thing slowly. In fact? I don’t think I will be done reading this graphic novel until possibly Wednesday or even Saturday night.
But I started reading Beneath, and the artwork by M is incredible and the characters are surprisingly deep, even in the first 20 or 30 pages. I really enjoy this dark fantastical mystery and I am looking forward to the way that this story unfolds.
Anyway, we’re running a little low on time, so I’m going to have to make it quick with the cookies and milk portion of the podcast. For cookies, I am honestly thinking about finding a sponsor, I just feel like that would be best for everyone involved including you the listener. Seriously, if I can get us a discount on snacks, I would have to say this is a pretty good podcast.
Milk – Milk will always be a part of my life. Even if I were to find out that I was lactose intolerant, I wouldn’t care, because the pros clearly outweigh the cons.
Alright, thanks for tuning into this episode, I’ll be back tomorrow.
