Today’s episode takes us out to the farthest reaches of outer space and the even further reaches of the human emotional spectrum with the debut collaboration from illustrator Mimi Alves and writer Ben Crane: Cosmic Cadets, Vol. 1: Contact! from Top Shelf!

Greg chats with the couple about this all-ages OGN that follows a ‘first contact’ event for the children of the crew of the exploration vessel ESS Khonsu. Find out what goes into making all-ages material in this day & age, the importance of listening to others, the limits of universal translation, what happens when Star Trek meets Dr. Seuss, and much more! All that, plus the all-ages book that hit Greg right in the feels on today’s episode!
