Hi All, the CBD Crew is back and this time Darci has brought a comic anthology exploring sound through comics to the table for us to discuss. All the contributors for this anthology are from Southern and Southeast Asia so it was a great way to broaden everyone\'s comic horizons. They talk about each entry but each host had a primary comic they wanted to feature. Brian had The Cat who Barks by Bryan Arfiandy, Carrie had Bonus Points by Benjamin Chee and Darci chose two with Hokken for Beginners by Nicolette Lee and On:Off by Xie Shi Min, Richard Phua, and Xiao Yan. The official Podcast Dog, Jonny, wanted to get in on this whole discussion of sound by providing very audible whines and toy squeaking in the background at points.

For this week\'s Round Table, the group talks about why there is not as many non-English written books translated into English than there should and could be, aside from the main factor of money, of course.

Other books discussed this week: Eve #1 (BOOM) by Victor LaValle, Jo Mi-Gyeong, Brittany Peer and AndWorld Design; Out and About #1-3 (Self Published) by Corinne Roberts, and the Medikidz Explain Epilepsy series.
