While the title of the episode is cheeky, we fully understand there are a ton of very valid reasons people are hesitant to make comics, or decided to never try. So we're gonna talk about the answers we got! And maybe get a little political. And talk about old witches in the woods who hoard anime titties.

In this episode, we discuss our creative process! From editing to burning out to solutions for those little scraps of ideas you don't know what to do with... we discuss it all. And Sims 4. Disclaimer: In terms of recording time, this is one of the earliest episodes we recorded, even though it's the 4th episode uploaded. Consequently there were some problems that do not exist in recent episodes, like Spike's volume came in extremely quiet , and attempts to raise volume resulted in amplification of weird artifacts and background noise. So sorry for the weird quality of this one, we have a much better setup now and editing knowledge.
