Eric July's crowdfunding campaign for The Rippaverse, a self-described "non-woke" foray into a new comic universe, has been overwhelmingly successful. Today, we discuss what a "non-woke" comic would look like, and if it would even be possible to avoid what some call a "political" story.Also discussed: Other franchises following the Prey formula, Day Shift, Award-Winning AI Art, Rule Changes at the Oscars, Superliminal, and more!Theme music is "All My Friends Have Wifi (And So Do Most Of My Neighbors)" By Granger.
