Can I Pet Your Dog?

Renee snuck back in one last time to make sure you didn't miss out on the first episode of the smash hit podcast COMFORT CREATURES! Be sure to subscribe to Comfort Creatures, because after this one who knows if we'll be able to find our way back into this RSS feed! (Neither of us have very good spatial navigation). THANK YOU AGIAN FOR LISTENING WE LOVE YOU! Comfort Creatures Episode 01: Horse girls, horse girls, horse girls. Be they English dressy dressage, ranchers in cowboy hats or country types in tweed, the archetype continues to intrigue, amuse and mystify. To deep dive into this vital topic we are joined by the creator of Tuca and Bertie and the visual mastermind behind Bojack Horseman, Lisa Hanawalt. Naturally we don't give a hoof about that because she is mum to dog, Annie and Horse, Juniper. So saddle up, you're in for a ride! (sorry not at all sorry for the puns)
