Never interacted with people before, have you, writers? This is another double episode premiere, and while I glanced through the second, there’s no way I’m dealing with covering it. Impressions: Honestly, I spent most of this episode trying to figure out when it was supposed to be taking place. It starts out by declaring …
Goodbye Dragon Life #01 — “My Boring Life”

Impressions: I guess at least the constant silly faces from the dude and the Looney Tunes noises make it clear that it’s meant to be a comedy, but it’s not one with particularly sensical writing. Someone’s getting a promotion and transferred across the world, and …
