In 1993, Brooke McEldowney began writing and drawing the newspaper comic strip 9 Chickweed Lane. Nearly 30 years later, it's still going strong. For some dumb reason, Brooke Dillman and Jeff Drake read the comic strip, even though it only makes them angry. This is their podcast, certainly one of the worst ideas for a podcast ever: a podcast about a newspaper comic strip that (as far as they know) ... more

So our journey this episode takes us to a recital, where Amos and Edda get a less than glowing review from a critic. They are SO BAD at taking any amount of criticism that they go onstage the next night to flip the critic off. Oh wait! Yeah. In this ... more
For this episode, we spend basically all of our time in the water, a Mac-El-Dee classic! But we begin with Edda staring at her reflection in a mirror, because of COURSE that's what she's doing. Edda provides multiple opportunities for the Brooke-ster... more
So sorry we've been away for so long. If it's any consolation, these strips punish us quite handily for our laziness. Boy do they ever! The white hot romance of Juliette and Elliott is explored a little this time around. Seems that Juliette loses her... more
After two and a half years of doing this podcast, Jeff has obviously lost his mind. He brings thirty -- THIRTY -- strips to discuss, all about the lead-up to Seth and Fernanda's wedding. And boy oh boy is it a doozy! We talk about how Brooke is obvio... more

what kind of god could allow such suffering
I only learned of 9CL’s existence recently but it quickly wormed its way into my brain, and this podcast is a great way to hate-read it without actually having to read it. It has made me laugh out loud to myself on public transport multiple times, which is embarrassing but totally worth it.
Please keep going so I can satisfy my morbid curiosity, and hopefully answer the burning questions of the 9CL-verse, such as: why do Polly and Lolly call their mother “mummy” despite being American? I’ve als... more
This podcast is pure catharsis. McEldowney is one of the most insufferable people you could ever encounter and his comics are every kind of terrible. I can't thank you both enough for doing this podcast.
My only ask is: Jeff, please turn up your audio. The sound balance is really off so I have to turn up the volume to hear you and then Brooke will be deafening if she shouts.
There's a certain lobe of the brain that gets tickled by overdetailed diatribes on fractally horrible horny snobby newspaper comics. This hole was made for me
I’m glad to see that there’s a podcast devoted to this comic strip I love to hate. I hope you’ll be doing the Big Ex-Gay Wedding of 2021 and the Great Belgian Deflowering arc (ie when Edda and Amos have sex for the first time during an interminable cello competition). The only criticism I would make is that you should look up some biographical information about Brooke McEldowney himself, because it will either put things in perspective or make things even more confusing. He is married with child... more
