Webcomics Weekly #59 - Adsdaq? Really?

Enjoy this podcast from the Webcomics Weekly archives. It was taped mere minutes before Adsdaq booted a bunch of webcomics from its roster. So the discussion of its usefulness is academic at best. However, there's also a great discussion about whether a 15-year-old cartoonist should reveal his true age. But the true gem comes at the end when we fall down a typical WW rathole around the moustache of Fleen.com's Gary Tyrell.
