Nearly 30 years later, it's still going strong. For some dumb reason, Brooke Dillman and Jeff Drake read the comic strip, even though it only makes them angry. This is their podcast, certainly one of the worst ideas for a podcast ever: a podcast about a newspaper comic strip that (as far as they know) no one reads.

Part 3 of 3. 45:44 yes <p>In the final part of this three-part horror-fest, we explore the romance (???) of <strong>Thorax</strong> and <strong>Esme</strong>. It's been an epic story arc. We recap our journey so far. And eventually end up walking into the ocean along with our May-December (of the following year) couple. Along the way, we awkwardly use the phrase "booty call," investigate Thorax's "bad touch" area, are mystified by hats, welcome a suddenly homicidal E.T. to our podcast, and watch Thorax finally clue into the fact that Esme likes him, which sends him (literally?) over the moon. If only it really happened. We also have to suffer through more of Brooke McEldowney's annoyingly florid dialog. Of course we do, because when <em>don't</em> we? It's fun to discover the new ways that Esme shows her love this episode, which includes romantic gunplay and farting. </p> <p><em>(One caveat, we're not tech geniuses.
