Kyle & Luke talk cartoons again, GenCon reminder - Luke Ski Update 6/7/12

Let me start off by again reminding the folks who plan on attending GenCon Indy to please go to the GenCon website and get a $2 ticket for "the great Luke Ski: Live in Concert!” (ENT1232218). By the looks of things, over 222 tickets have been sold for "Friday Night Live", and only 8 have been sold for my solo concert. So please go get one now, the details are below.

Another reminder, there's just 7 days left to donate to Worm Quartet's Kickstarter. Here's the link: http://kck.st/L3RPsj That's all for now. I hope to see a lot of you at DeepSouthCon. :) ~ Luke Ski, 6/7/2012

- LUKE & CARRIE'S BAD RAPPORT - Episode #065:
Kyle And Luke Talk About Cartoons, While Carrie Is In Arizona

It’s been 3 months since Kyle and Luke commandeered this podcast to dominate it with talk of things animated, and the current Rasey-Dahlby southwest sojourn has opened the window for another opportunity to do so. This time around, the how has three distinct components. Part 1: Luke & Kyle talk about obscure TV cartoon shows of the 80′s and early 90′s that society has completely forgotten about. Part 2: Show creators versus the broadcast companies that are providing them with a TV show: Where is the fair place to draw the line when it comes to control? Part 3: We talk about some of our favorite current working voice actors. We forego almost all of the usual Bad Rapport recurring segments, but we do have cartoon related comedy music tracks by TV’s Kyle & Worm Quartet (donate to his Kickstarter!), and music from Kidd Video, Alf, Spongebob Squarepants, Strawberry Shortcake, Ren & Stimpy, Futurama, Beavis & Butthead, and Teen Titans (Puffy Ami Yumi). Until next time, no more tabby pot pie for me before bedtime.
