Episode 8: “A Very Small Irony” w/ David Lloyd (co-creator of V for Vendetta)

Poet in Bangkok

In this eighth episode, Colin and Donald speak with acclaimed comics artist David Lloyd, co-creator and illustrator of V for Vendetta. David discusses his working class upbringing and how American culture fed his development as an artist. He gives insight into some of his earlier collaborations with Alan Moore and other writers. David also shares his impressions of Bangkok and provides his perspective on the use of his V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask by Thai protesters. ?The hosts reflect on life since the destruction of the unidentified objects from Mars, the status of the militarized Harbinger 2 mission, and the appearance of a strange new condition mysteriously affecting people's speech. Colin mentions recent work by Episode 1 guest Kathy MacLeod and Donald takes a stab at explaining what the deal is with gender equality in Thailand. ? ?? ?
