In this episode of Comics Deserve Better, Brian, Darci, and Logan discuss cartoonist Kate Leth\'s pattern of racism, transphobia, and fatphobia. Logan shares some of his personal experiences with Leth, and this is very much editorial and not news reporting. Next, they talk about some great indie comics like Undone by Blood, Helena Rose, "Checking Out" from Medium, and the Manga Classics series as well as upcoming titles like Black Mask Studios\' The Last Song #3 and The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott.  Finally, his week\'s "Main Course" is Matt Kindt and Matt Smith\'s fantasy series Folklords, which leads to a hearty debate among the hosts and many Tolkien references.
