    S03E06: Skip — A Hop and a Dimensional Jump
    Feb 13 2025
    Yan and Nat wander through the kaleidoscopic worlds of "Skip" by Molly Mendoza. --BZZT-- Hi, Scott here, producer on Comic Sans, seeking your help. It's usually my job to write these episode descriptions. And you may be wondering — why is today's so short? The answer to which is, because I'm lost for words on how to describe Skip. I really have no idea. So how about this — today, just listen to the episode. Or watch it on YouTube. In fact, just read the comic for yourself. And if you have any ideas at all on what to write here, email me at comicsans@andasproductions.com. Please? Thank you. 00:00 - Preamble 02:54 - Unhinged Yant: A Hop and a Dimensional Jump 06:04 - Nat's Five Words 07:55 - Yan's Recap 12:04 - Discussion 32:44 - Yan's Final Questions 36:56 - Up Next on Comic Sans In this episode, Nat reads Skip by Molly Mendoza, pages 1–80.

    Content warning: misogyny, domestic abuse, suicide [26:54 - 34:02] When a guy in a Mercedes honked at him, Yan said nothing and biked away.
