Episode 646, Top 5 Patriotic Characters.

Welcome to Comic Geek Speak. I'm Brian Deemer.

I'm Jamie D. I'm Adam Murdo. I'm Shane Kelly. I'm Brian Christman. I'm Peter Rios.

All right. Let's start talking some patriotic characters here. Merr, what comes to mind when I say patriotic characters?

Lots of stars and stripes and, you know, big lantern-jawed grins and, you know, rough and ready men of action, ready to defend American ideals, and, you know, skies painted red, white, and blue, and John Philip Sousa playing in the background.

Big American flag waving.

That's the first thing that comes to mind, but, of course, not all patriotic characters follow that mold.

Yeah, I mean, we're definitely sticking with, you know, American concept.

Not characters just created in America, but the ones that are sort of built around the

concept of America and USA.

So if you're thinking we're going to be talking about like Captain Canuck and Captain

Brayton and, no, that's not what we're doing. We're doing good old red, white, and blue, stars and stripes,

Tuk-toot, bum-bomb.

I don't know.

We do encourage...

Tukka, chugga, big red car.

Right, thank you, Mr. Wiggles.

We do encourage any of our listeners out there who are of different nationalities,

and we know there's a lot of you, to hit the forums after this and post your list of your top five favorite patriotic heroes of your country of origin, though.

Cool. That'd be great. Top five Zimbabwe care. Is there such a thing? I don't know. It's a challenge.

It's a challenge. Why'd you start us off, Merch, since you're talking. Okay. Because you're not in the studio normally. We haven't heard you in a while. That's true. That's true. Okay. I went, I tried to pick some weird ones here because I know there aren't all that many to go around in this category.
