Hi, this is Drew, and you're about to listen to another rerun.

If you listen to this, you might just realize it's a rerun and stop listening.

But I suggest you don't do that because I think this is a really good older episode that we did

that I wanted to resurface for a few reasons.

Even if I feel like a lot of people who listen to this podcast might not remember there ever

being a Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. I knew it was

basically new to me when we recorded this episode. This is an episode about the Dungeons and Dragons

cartoon that originally aired in the summer of 2019, so a very long time ago. And yes, many things

have happened since the summer of 2019. But I feel like this episode stands up and stands out in our catalog because I'm really

proud of the analysis that Glenn and I did on our own, but also just having a conversation

about the subject matter and visual signifiers.

And I feel like we make the joke about reach-arounds on this podcast where we're bending

over backwards to make something fit into a gay narrative.

And it doesn't always work.

But in this one, I feel pretty strong about hitting on something that if it wasn't intended,

then I would feel pretty confident taking it to the people that

created these characters and telling them, like, you know, you made a gay, right? Like,

you made a gay character. Also, randomly, I feel like this didn't necessarily come up very much

in our Happy Days episode, but it is a gay character that is more or less centered around

the performance of

Ralph Mouth himself, Don Most, who I don't think is gay and probably didn't envision his

character being read this way, but I'd be interested to see how he feels about our take on him
