  • Never Stop Sopping

    As far as I’m concerned, this is the only podcast hosted by two brothers talking about something they like.

  • Chris Gethard is forever wing

    Why waste your time sopping milk somewhere else!? Screw It, We’re just going to talk about Comics is the first podcast I’ve listened to other than the murder porn I hear when in the car with my wife, and I have no need for any other podcast. As a lifelong comic fan I can’t get enough of the Milksops and their take on these monumental stories that have now transformed into the movies that have dominated pop-culture since the mid 2000s. Cannot recommend this podcast enough! No matter what you hear... more

  • A delight

    This is my favorite podcast. But also, fun for the hosts: Rod Serling’s Night Gallery’s fourth episode drops an absolutely lovely “milksop.” Do with this information what you will.

  • One of my favorite podcasts even though I'm vegan and already know everything about coming pasta

    Wheatcakes!

    Loose screws!

    Obsessive PS Spider-Man game playing!

    All hail Steve Ditko, creator of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

    Brian and the other two put out a dang fine podcast. Sometimes I yell at them because they are so wrong. But sometimes they're funny and even occasionally right.

    I do object to their meat section because I am vegan.

    They should talk about Danbury and Outer Limits more.

Hellsops - The Chained Coffin Collection Part 1 (reposted)
Q: What does it mean to you as an artist to be able to express such a powerful statement in your comics?
It's about dealing with destiny and all these things and forces that are going against what you want, how you want to be as a person in the world.
Human Milksop: Human Target 19-21 - The Stealer
Q: What do you think the comic, what do you think the real truth is and what do you want it to be?
I think the real Christopher Chance is the one we were saying is the real Christopher Chance, the one who is left alone at the end.
