WFD 123: Episode 123 - DO YOU KNOW IT’S JLMAY 2018??? OR At least this post doesn't have that godawful song.

Huzzah once again, fellow Doom Patrol Fans (and Mom)! 

Still playing catch-up (man, a new job, vacations, increased responsibility at said earlier job, Inktober, holidays, and kidney donation can really slow up progress and blog posts!) but here's some stuff, just for you. Let's start with a link:

WFD Episode 120: Once, Twice, Three Times An Ape-y OR Byrne-t Toast

HUZZAH!

The gents have Doom Patrolled again!

Check out the stylings on the Podbean wherein they serve up some. . .

Hot gorilla-on-gorilla action! Kleenex couture! Can you really have 'time-honoured traditions' by the 7th issue of a series? Awkward phone conversations! Failing memory! All this and the ever-eternal question on everyone's lips: just who the bloody hell ARE the Devolutionists anyway?!? LET'S GET PATROLLING!

• Down on Derington Way - 9:02
• Doom Clock - 9:45
• Doomsplaining - 14:50 - We return to volume 4 of the Doom Patrol, and take a look at issues 7 and 8 by John Byrne, Doug Hazlewood, Jared K Fletcher, Alex Bleyaert and Mike Carlin! 
• Mailbag O Doom - 38:55 - Who is your favourite loner character in comics?

As for the imagery to go with the podcast, well, I'm glad you asked. 

That is some manicure that ape is sporting. 

Stupid Nudge's stupid phone call to her stupid family. 

Rita Farr! You've just become an ape! What are you - oh. Of course. Byrne'd. 

And issue #8 of Doom Patrol (v4). 

NOT A VERY BYRNE-COVER. 

And there you have it! 

 I'll be getting caught up yet!

Episode 119: The Last Stand of Sameness OR Extra-Special!

HUZZAH!

It's a brand new post that ALMOST matches up with a brand-new episode of Waiting for Doom! YAAAAAAAAY! This one covers the extra-special WFD Episode 119 where Mike welcomes in extra-special guest Rift for an extra-special conversation about the extra-special Doom Patrol/Justice League of America Special featuring the extra-special conclusion to the extra-special Milk Wars saga. Check out the link right here. 

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! Turn and face the strange; ch-ch-changes! Milk Wars is gonna change the Pa-trol!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! Turn and face the strange; ch-ch-changes! Paul's sick, this ep Mike is joined by Rift-y!
Milk Wars will change things; but Young Animal will be fine...
Doom Clock - 14:30Doomsplaining - 18:12 - Mike and special guest co-host Rifty discuss the Milk Wars finale in Doom Patrol / Justice League of America #1!

So how about some wonderful images and stuff?!?

Clay Mann & Marissa Louise knock out the cover. 

Ibrahim Moustafa lent a hand on some of the Rita Farr-centric pages. Very Passion Play. 

Punching some cows with Dale Eaglesham, Tamra Bonvillain, Marissa Louise, and Clem Robins. 

Exactly my reaction at this point in the comic. 

Question of the Week: 

It’s the solitary Question of the Week:

Who is your favourite loner character in comics?

At This Stage

Here's the screenshot of the expected release date for Doom Patrol #11 (as of this posting). 

There you go, my friends! A bunch of extra-special, Doom Patrolly Goodness! With only half the calories and 10% less sugar! 

"Wait! What happened to all of the other posts that should have happened?!" you ask. 

(Actually, I'm not sure you asked, since no one has left any comments yet. Fee l free to do so though)

"They'll be here soon," I reply,"I'm following the Young Animal Doom Patrol Guide for Sequential Material Releases."

Episode 115: The End is a Terrible Thing to Waste OR Pollack Out

HUZZAH!

Sure, this is from an episode of Waiting for Doom that came out last year. But this year isn't even a week old yet, so I'm not that far off. Anyway, here's what WilFreD had to say in summary of the episode: 

Sequels! Unread comics! Unexpected choices in fundraising! More Kbbalistic mysticism than you can shake a possessed doll at! Ending the year by ending a volume - AND revealing a new project! GADZOOKS! LET'S GET PATROLLING!
Down on Derington Way - 11:26Doom Clock - 14:25Doomsplaining - 18:38 - We reach the end of volume 2 of the Doom Patrol, as we cover issues 86 and 87 by Rachel Pollack, Ted McKeever, John E Workman Jr, Axel Alonso and Lou Stathis!Mailbag O Doom - 47:45 - We read your responses to the question, "Who is your favourite character with a walking stick?"

And now, here's the images, starting with a collection from Doom Patrol (v2) #86.

Gotta start with the cover, right? Another Kyle Baker piece. 

Zere might be zum muzzer issues with young Niles.  

To Be CONCLUDED...

And now, my friends, the final issue of the second volume of Doom Patrol.

. . .and that's all she wrote. 

Episode 114: Cows Are Notoriously Aggressive OR John Byrne and Fashion Design, What Could Go Wrong?

HUZZAH! 

Mike and Paul got ByrneT for you! Here's the latest on Episode 114 of Waiting for Doom, straight from their Podbean:
