🚨🧇 San Francisco Has Found Its New Dirty Harry. And He’s a Waffle. 🧇🚨
This week, the Time Pals interview the creators of the new online animated series WAFFLE & COHEN!
From the wonderfully warped minds of comic artist Brian Hess (Nix, Mystical Misfits, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir) and veteran sound engineer and Bay Area DJ Steve Romanko (Star Wars , Fight Club, Final Fantasy IX, Rumble Racing) comes a buddy-cop cartoon inspired by classic ’70s cop shows and sitcoms, MAD Magazine, early Nickelodeon weirdness, and the beautifully bonkers spirit of the Bay Area.
Co-hosts Jon Powell and Mike Underscore sit down with Steve Romanko and Brian Hess to talk about their careers, their creative partnership, the accidental birth of Sgt. Waffle, and what inspired them to create their latest show.
