LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE NOW
Ahhhh! It’s a perfectly beautiful Tirade Thursday in Singapore.
The birds are chirping in the parks, babies are all peacefully sleeping in their strollers, music from Mozart fills the air.
What better way for the Tomboy Tarts, Raven and Persis to spend their day off, indulging in chocolate eclairs and reading a comic book eh?
But o no! Things always go horribly wrong for this dumbass duo as the island is suddenly torn apart at its seams by a freak tornado that blows them right into their comic book – one that was once written by the Geek Crusade, Singapore’s biggest online geek community.
And of course, the ultimate question: Will everyone be able to find their way out of this 2D comic book world concocted by Geek Crusade?
