On today's show, it gets all the way macho.

We lean all the way into all things macho. Longtime listeners of the show

understand the origin of the macho as it pertains to observations. And today we are giving you the first

annual, the first ever macho awards.

Macho writer, macho artist.

What was the most macho series of the last year?

Macho publisher, a macho lifetime achievement award.

We get all macho up in this place today in a very special edition

of Robeservations.

Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Robeservations. I am your host, Rob Leifeld. I have

been making comics professionally, moving in on 34 years here,

and I have been loving, loving the comic books for, uh, let's see about 46, 46 years. Yeah,

that sounds about right. Uh, 47 years, 47 years. My love affair with comics, all thanks comics. I bring it to you here

each and every week and we have got a very special episode unlike any episode we have ever done

before. This is the Macho Awards episode. Yes, we're handing out awards this episode.

In the season of award shows, I would be remiss if I did not give you, you know, awards

based on how I see things through a lens and a phrase that has become all too familiar here on the

Observation Show, something that took, honestly, that you guys have taken further than I

ever thought it could be taken, and that is the moniker of macho. It's a macho show. I'm going to

backtrack into this when we get around to giving out the actual macho

awards and kind of explain if you're new to the show why it's called the macho

awards and what you're going to be experiencing throughout the course of the macho awards.
