Webcomic Beacon #11: Open Forum Discussion #2, and Rene Engström Interview!

The candy is 50% off, and we had another open forum for this week’s show! We maybe mentioned Valentine’s Day, but we also talked about The Nominees of the WCCAs (vote soon!). We also interviewed Rene Engström of Anders Loves Maria *NSFW*! Also Brett Hainley rants about online dickery in his Casually Ramblings. Diana Nock gives us a review of Hold My Life, and Aarin Edwards gives his Impression of Stupid Robot.

NOTE: I want to apologize for the coincidence of Rene being on, as well as the Casual Ramblings statement on Something Awful (as Rene is an active member). Brett was given free reign of his subjects, and while heated, I choose not to censor his segment. However, this was not an intended correlation, and not meant to insult Rene in the least. I did apologize to Rene personally, and it’s water under the bridge. – Fes
