Episode 301 - Can't Beat the Real Thing

== Episode Description ==
In which we enter our fourth century of podcasting with brand new theme music; we have both Wolverine questions and wolverine questions; it is extremely rough to be Bishop; the creator of Garfield may or may not live in a sewer on Earth-616; Rogue needs better coping mechanisms; bigotry is depressingly timeless; and everything is Onslaught now.
----
NOTE: The Garfield strips Jay mentions appeared in newspapers, on purpose, in October 1989.
