I loved that they not only rated Cassidy, Black Tom much higher than Cassidy, Sean...but that they also predicted that listeners would be surprised and/or outraged by their preference.
And now I can't unsee the koala on the Measurer's chest...I can just imagine the Celestials coming to judge a planet and having the inhabitants go "Awwww, cute!" at the sight of him.
You really should introduce the ladies to Jack "The King" Kirby. I'd be curious to see what they think of his art style.
Several of the girls were being coy about not knowing Kirby's name - they know he co-created the Marvel Universe with Stan Lee - but decided it was funnier to screw with nerddom. They've given their opinions on Kirby pieces peppered throughout the OHOTMU as they come up.
Siskoid, thanks for the shout-out for my blog; you're a gentleman AND a scholar (I should make a small correction: the web address is just eruditegorilla.com, though it is a Wordpress site).
And for whoever asked: it's not about gorillas, but there is a gorilla involved.
Sorry about screwing up the URL, I didn't write it down. The name should be easily googled though!
Here's a write-up with some images of Baby Captain Universe:

It seems like the girls actually know a lot more about comics (and other geek stuff) than they let on ... were they faking not knowing who Edith Keeler was, or was that genuine?

They still identify as geek girls, most of them, but their interests may be very different and specific. It just doesn't involve mid-80s Marvel Comics, so we're good there.
But like Isabel, Shotgun and Nath are movie geeks. Shotgun and Art-Girl are deep into anime and manga. They're almost all into Doctor Who and the Marvel Cinematic. They're all more cognizant of video games lore than I am. Elyse is the least geeky, but was married to a geek and knows the score; she's played Magic The Gathering, for example. When we talk Star Trek, TNG seems to be the reference, or perhaps NuTrek, DS9 is kind of on the radar. TOS not so much, so Edith Keeler is too obscure a reference, and I knew that when I was saying it (for YOUR benefit, basically). Mind, a lot of that is through osmosis, we hang out together all the time, and two of the ladies have been (or are) my roommates.
