Podcast for the funny papers
Is there a podcast dedicated to the funny pages; i.e. Beetle Bailey, Mary Worth, Funky Winkerbern, etc. I follow joshreads.com but am looking for a podcast in the same vein. Thanks!!! Quinn &#10048; BEAUTIFUL DAY 05:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

If it was a topical news related podcast you want I could strongly recommend the BBC Radio 4 Friday night comedy podcast, from here or from the iTunes store. It is very UK news centred, so it some of the stories may be lost on overseas listeners. Jackacon (talk) 09:15, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the questioner is looking for a podcast that discusses newspaper comic strips (particularly American ones), not a topical comedy podcast. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:11, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * In this 36-minute interview with King Features Syndicate comic strip editor Brendan Burford skip ahead to the 16-minute mark. There are dozens of podcasts about comic books but virtually nothing about comic strips. Also see these videos of Lucy Caswell at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum.

A question about anime theme songs
Anime theme songs normally have two versions, a "TV-size version" which is a portion of the song used for the opening/ending of the series and a full version which is the whole song. My question is, assuming the song was written for the anime (since many theme songs were not written specifically for the series), which of the versions is usually recorded first? 112.210.183.211 (talk) 12:18, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm just guessing, but I'm willing to bet that the TV size version is just an edit of a full length version, ie. they are the same recording. Mingmingla (talk) 14:28, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Runsecape prayers?
Just wondering, in runescape, do the prayers "protect from melee", "protect from magic" and "protect from missiles" completely negate damage or just reduce it? Thanks for any help! 69.154.180.133 (talk) 12:56, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * The Runescape Wikia article about prayers discusses the details, and links to further articles about the specific prayers you mention. In short: it's complicated. -- Finlay McWalter ☻ Talk 13:17, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
