Hello Stan,

I’ve been a True Believer for nearly 3 decades. I’ve enjoyed your creations and writing for many years and they have meant a lot to me. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer some of our questions. My questions are about the Comics Code Authority.

Having been working in the industry before the formation of the CCA and well after, what is your opinion of it? Also, the CCA was created shortly after the book Seduction of the innocent was published, would you share your opinion of the book? Did the CCA help the industry or hurt it? Did you find the guidelines hard to work with? The Spiderman issues #96-98 that the Department of Health asked you to do are famous for the removal of the seal and the return of it on issue 99; it seemed to me that you weren’t concerned about the code. Were there any guidelines that you were baffled by? Were there any stories that you had wanted to tell but were unable to because of the CCA? How do you feel about the publishers that went belly up due to the CCA? And Finally, When publishers decided to move away from the use of the CCA was there any sigh of relief?

I also just want to say, you look super manly in the picture from the 1975 San Diego Comic Con and I squeal like a little boy every time you pop up in a Marvel Movie, Nuff said.

Hi Kev! Glad to see you doing an AMA. I am big fan of Smodcast and Hollywood Babble-on(I'm wearing a signed Garmy shirt)

*You spoke of doing a more laid back show with Ralph, in format more like Smodcast. Is this going to happen? I would like to hear more like the morning show you did awhile back.

*Also, since you recent full immersion into weed, have you considered smoking with your fans? I know your a very cautious person(many well enjoyed Smodcasts has made this obvious) and was wondering how afraid you are of joining one of fans stoner circles?

*If you were forced to pick a 5 year period from history to be sent back to, what period would you pick? Your arrival date will be randomly picked from the 5 year period, meaning that you will arrive somewhere in the 5 year period. Also this is a one way trip, and there will be no return to the present. You can only bring with you what you can carry and already have access to, meaning anything you already own or can buy within one hour (budget limited to your current holdings) that you can carry.

Hi Scott, over the last few years I have become a big fan of many of the Earwolf podcast. Thank you so much for pulling together such an amazing group. Also congratulations on another season of Comedy Bang! Bang! quiet possibly the best sketch show I have seen. which brings me to the question now that my nose is brown enough.

I(like many people who shouldn't) consider myself a funny person and have come up with several ideas for sketches. While I have somewhat crippling social anxiety that keeps me from finding a sketch group to bother with my ideas, I was wondering if there was a way to submit my ideas to the Comedy Bang! Bang! writers? I figure you must have something like the large bags of podcast pilots that Earwolf keeps receiving that Andy Daly and Matt Gourely were kind enough to sort through.

PS - Please try to convince Andy and Matt to do another round of the Podcast Pilot Project, they were some of the greatest piece of comedy gold. I am glad I don't have to ask for CBB to continue... please don't stop doing in order to make me beg, because I will. Alright I am already on my knees.

What did you have for lunch today?
