"Support the Little Guy"
- Mike Kitchen (Writer/Artist: Spy Guy)

This episode is made up almost exclusively of Interviews with people about independent comics & films. The interviews were conducted at the Toronto Fan Expo on September 1-3 2006.

There's lots of great stuff being produced out there, here are a few that really caught my eye:

The Possum by Blair Kitchen (http://www.possumpress.com/)
Spy Guy by Mike Kitchen (http://www.ultraist.net/)
Love and Capes by Tom Zahler (http://www.loveandcapes.com/)
Sidekick starring Perry Mucci (http://www.sidekickmovie.com)
Toronto After Dark Film Festival (http://www.torontoafterdark.com/)

Also, Wasteland will be skipping a month to let retailers, and artist Chris Mitten, catch their breath after the overwhelming success of the first 3 issues. We have the scoop on how to keep getting your Wasteland fix in the meantime (http://www.thebigwet.com/)
