9 Chickweed Rage
Jeff Drake, Brooke Dillman
45 episodes
1 month ago
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) no one reads. This is 9 CHICKWEED RAGE.

042: You Didn't Pass the Panty Round

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 obviously the world's favorite co-host of this podcast, and that's it's not even close. We begin with Fernanda talking about panties at length, which we had just barely scratched the surface of in our previous episode. We discover that Fernanda (and ultimately Brooke Mac-El-Dee himself) does not truly understand the concept of rounding off numbers. Apparently, a skill being taught to (and being understood by) elementary school children eludes our dear author. Nor does he seem to be aware of the total number of people currently on the planet or how many of that number would be men. Why would that be important? It's not really. But he mis-uses both of those pieces of information to get to what he believes is a joke. So he's both inaccurate and not funny. But, shit, we knew all that already, didn't we? In the lead-up to Fernanda and Seth getting married, Edda kisses Seth, for no real good reason, TWICE. Both times, Amos is like, "Well, that seems normal and fine." But to us, of course, it seems like proof the two of them totally did it. Like, for sure. Fernanda and Seth are in a pool, a shower, and a couple of different tubs. And after basically six straight weeks of this dumb storyline it ends with them in a tub throwing a phone away. Yep. Classic stuff.
