Welcome to Why Not?! Episode 26: “Tall Tale”

Do you ever feel like you’re just talking to yourself most of the time? Just Tom? Because he spends swaths of this episode doing voices? Ok. Just Tom.

It’s time for that episode folks. THAT episode. Wherein we learn how Puck came to be…Puck…according to Bill Mantlo. But! We make the most of it. We think.

In this episode, Chris:

• brings back an oldie, but a goodie, sound effect
• really wants to see Harrison Ford take out Puck
• tries out a new sign off?

and Tom:

• is more than a touch flummoxed by the…necromancy?...committed to give Heather her suit
• kinda struggles w/ Northstar & Aurora’s accents: he’ll do better next time
• says “immensely black storm cloud” and wonders what language even is anymore
