Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in the attic of the Black Manor with headphones and recording mics in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a lavender suit. The Asterism is wearing a comfy oversized off-white sweater over blue leggings. They look a bit annoyed with each other.]

Pilcrow: "OK, we're in agreement. Our podcast is going to be called 'Forbidden Frequencies.'"

The Asterism: "We are not in agreement. I liked 'Space-Time Tidbits'!"

Panel 2

Pilcrow: "Ugh, we'll sort that out later. Now, the theme music. I'm thinking a blend of eerie and enlightening."

Panel 3

The Asterism: "As long as it doesn't feature your recorder skills."

Pilcrow: "The recorder adds a touch of charm!"

The Asterism: "If by 'charm' you mean 'giving the audience universal dread.'"

Panel 4

[They angrily storm away from one another.]

Pilcrow: "Maybe we should go make our own podcasts then!"

The Asterism: "That's the most tasteful idea you've had yet!"
