Is there nothing to love about old Nintendo cartoons? Are any video game comics worth reading? In this monthly premium show, we look at all kinds of media derived from video games and take it apart, answering whether it's a good adaptation, and whether it's a good piece of art.\r\n\r\nThis is a premium show, as part of the Duckfeed Patreon campaign.
