So while we, at Pads & Panels, have slacked a little bit, our writers and buddies Matt and Archie have been plugging away on their Games Comics and Puppy Dogs podcast. We happen to know they plan on hitting the studio again today to record another cool episode, so we thought we’d help our readers get caught up on the recent episodes before that hits. Listeners can check out any of the recent shows by clicking the links out to their site. And as always, you can catch up with the guys over at www.mightyinkcomics.com. Enjoy!

So when Matt and Archie aren’t putting their writing talents to good use here at Pads & Panels, the duo has been hard at work creating an awesome podcast every other week called Games Comics and Puppy Dogs (more affectionately known as GCPD) for their site, Mighty Ink Comics and Entertainment. It’s swell, and we’ve been promising for awhile now that we would start posting their episodes on a regular basis.

Well, it only figures that Matt and Archie had to practically bribe yours truly with a guest spot on the show this episode to finally get the job done. But that’s neither here nor there. The gents are celebrating the milestone of their 20th episode, and I joined them in the studio this week to see the magic unfold (and interject a few stupid lines of my own).

Along with a chance to win some cool prizes, the dynamic duo discusses LittleBigPlanet 2, Hothead Games, Capcom, a Spider-Man screen, Bruce Campbell and so much more. It’s an episode not to be missed…so we suggest you don’t miss it. You can listen to it streaming below, or visit the guys over at www.mightyinkcomics.com.
