We're very excited to announce the relaunch of Idaho Comics with Albert Asker! We're very sorry to announce the delay of the relaunch of Idaho Comics with Albert Asker! Both are true!

It's been a long time coming. In more ways than one, in fact. It's been a long year watching every episode, and it's all been building to this: the 91st Academy Awards. It's also been a long time coming in the sense that it's been over a month since the show. Jon's bad. "Little Lily Swing by Tri-Tachyon" "creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" "@tri-tachyon"

You're in for a treat. This may be the BEST and MOST CONTROVERSIAL episode of Our Oscar Year yet. Nikki, a Political Science major, goes to war with Jon, an apolitical nice guy who just wants everyone to like him so he refuses to have opinions. You should hear all the stuff we cut!

Ok... I realize you didn't demand it. But we enjoyed making it. That's enough, right? "Little Lily Swing by Tri-Tachyon" "creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" "@tri-tachyon"

We are proud to share with you the first in a special ongoing series we're calling "The Dennis Eichhorn Project." This month's guest is...

NO! It's not a review of "Tully" this week as promised. But what we have, we assume, is even better!

And with a snap... there it was: Jon and Nikki's episode about "Avengers: Infinity War."
