Comics covered in this episode:

Topics discussed:
– Do all the influences Ba brings together in these comics equal more than the sum of their parts?
– Is Ba successful as an “ambassador” bringing West African folklore to non-African readers?
– Why even ask these questions when the answer is obviously “yes”? (Because I have to write something and I had no good jokes today!)
