3. Monkey & Bear, Part 1

This is the beginning of our long, long discussion (maybe 3 parts?) on Monkey & Bear. We want to thank M.M. Wright, Alexis, Zak, Cody, Av, and Dirick for their wonderful insights, and their apparently unconditional support. Thank you so much. For real. Thank you, too, to David Pizarro, aka Peez for his sick Cosmia beat. And thank you to actually everyone who listens to this. Lastly, thank you SO MUCH to Melissa Marturano and Rachel Parent for the entirety of Blessing All the Birds. “You know that we must unlearn this allegiance to a life of service, and no longer answer to that heartless hay-monger, nor be his accomplice. (That charlatan with artless hustling.)”
