050: Matt Fraction Returns to Boner City, U.S.A.

For our 50th Episode Spectacular, we invited Matt Fraction to come back to the sex toilet! Shockingly, he said yes! We gave him the option of seeing half of the strips ahead of time and being surprised by the second half. But he could not resist the siren call of Mac-El-Dee's awfulness and not only read all fourteen strips we cover in this episode...but the handful of strips that Brooke left out of the run. No one understands our sickness like Matt. There is a LOT of discussion about butts (with the requisite long lists of synonyms for butts [because NOTHING is funnier than synonyms!]) and of tattoos on said butts. Apparently, for the men of the Chick-Verse, the McEldowney-Sphere, the mere thought of a tattoo on a butt is like Viagra, leaving the men incapacitated with persistent boners for, well, the entirety of the two week run. It was good to have Matt back to suffer with us. Happy 50th, everybody!
