This episode was originally broadcast on January 15, 2015.

People often say there is a single line between fantasy and reality. But in Farel Dalrymple’s The Wrenchies, there are just as many lines between different realities as there are on the pages themselves. Described by Multiversity Comics’ own Matthew Meylikhov as a book “about how damn great and powerful comic books are”, Dalrymple’s graphic novel is one part post-apocalyptic children’s adventure, one part existential adult apocalypse, one part semiautobio, one part love letter to four-color stories, and one part alchemical x-factor.

Each new reading brings as many questions as answers, but Mike and Greg take a stab at what Dalrymple is trying to say with Sherwood, Hollis, and the rest of the cast. Background is given, techniques are discussed, knowledge is dropped, and the unforgiving mistress that is watercolor is name-checked in this attempt to try and encapsulate what one of 2014’s strongest OGN’s means to its characters, its creator, and its audience.

Greg Matiasevich

Greg Matiasevich has read enough author bios that he should be better at coming up with one for himself, yet surprisingly isn't. However, the years of comic reading his parents said would never pay off obviously have, so we'll cut him some slack on that. He lives in Baltimore, co-hosts (with Mike Romeo) the Robots From Tomorrow podcast, writes Multiversity's monthly Shelf Bound column dedicated to comics binding, and can be followed on Twitter at @GregMatiasevich.
