“If I could just go and have a drink with my friends at the little neighborhood bar, then life would feel halfway normal again.”
On Sunday, March 29, cartoonist Tom Tomorrow (a.k.a. Dan Perkins) checked in to let us know how he’s getting by in New York City during the pandemic. We talk about schlocky movies, the current challenge of being political satirist but the benefit of being a science fiction fan, the further collapse of alt-weeklies (and the need to support This Modern World via subscription!), and the last thing he left his apartment for. Give it a listen! And go subscribe to Sparky’s List!
