Recipe cards with the ink smudged into illegibility by still-pungent cooking sherry...Half-eaten Werther's Originals wrapped in a corner torn from a newspaper grocery flyer...A thirty-foot chain of multicolored scarves tied end to end, terminating in a Belgian flag...The keys to a stranger's 1984 Chevy Silverado encased in a hard carapace of amber, at the bottom of a coffee can filled with olive pits to fool the X-ray machines...You know, just normal, little stuff.

TUESDAY, 1/21: Tune into EXPERT PANEL on Twitch

January 20, 2025 by David Malki !

THIS WEEK, I’ll be streaming live with fellow historical-art-enthusiast Dylan Meconis for a new show we’re calling Expert Panel.

We’ll be trawling through the archives of historical newspapers and magazines, and trying our best to puzzle out what’s going on. What was the intended joke here?

This is an exercise born from my own research for Wondermark source material, marveling at some of what I’ve unearthed and excited to share it with the world in a whole different way.

This first episode will be streamed live at:

• TUESDAY JANUARY 21
• 1:00 PM PACIFIC TIME
• twitch.tv/davidmalki

You can even add a reminder to your calendar, if you like!

UPDATE: For a limited time, you can watch the archived stream on Twitch!
