Spencer Church
A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.
We kick off the episode with a quick correction from last week. After that, we discuss a lecture series by Kurt Vonnegut that features his master’s thesis about the shapes of stories.
To add to what Mr. Vonnegut talked about in his lecture, we also revisit the seven kinds of stories and do our best to fit them into Vonnegut’s shapes theory.

DBS #141: Discussing The Best Non-Superhero Comics Of The 2020s – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
We begin today's cold open by complaining about awful book influencers who charge a lot of money for terrible book reviews. Then we read an excerpt from Lonesome Dove!
After all that, we settle in and talk about the best non-superhero comic books of the 2020s, or at least according to a list we found.
You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @dpwpodcast.
