Content warning: This episode contains discussion of PTSD and DID. The webcomic Let's Get Burgers contains portrayals of PTSD, intrusive thoughts, depression, and swear words/a homophobic slur.
Consider the burger: What makes up a perfect burger? Should a burger have one patty or two? What's the best cheese for a burger? Can a burger truly be meatless? Why do some people want to ruin their burger by adding tomatoes or removing pickles?
Well, Let's Get Burgers answers none of these questions, but it does feature a cat named Knife and a dog named Cheddar who try to make the most out of the mundane absurdity that is life. Whether it's dealing with jerk bosses or ugly cops, getting a new dog (that's really a Tasmanian Devil) or meeting an alien, these two wacky guys just want to get through another day and, well, get some burgers.

Bonus content! (starts at 22:18)
Now, did you know that the classic 60's hairdo the bowlcut--yes, the one worn by The Beatles, everyone's favorite gaggle of four British music guys--is not only worn by humans, but also a species of bird known as the Gloster canary? (Sure, technically, it's not a haircut for them because birds don't have hair, but you get the idea. Plus, these canaries are pretty dang stylish, bowlcut and all.)
Find out about Gloster canaries and other interesting bowlcut facts and anecdotes in Mads G.'s wonderful historical/autobiographical mini-comic Bowlhead.
