If a crane and a turtle got into a fight, who do you think would win? Why would a crane and a turtle fight, and does crumbling felt material have anything to do with it? Or maybe a six pack of beer plastic ring with a plastic straw? If Roy used a rollerball, what rollerball would he use if any? Are naps damaging to Roy's brain? Apparently. In this episode, I share a comparison between a Namiki Nippon Art Maki-e fountain pen and the Platinum Izumo I've been crushin' on as of late. I share how to give your CON-70 an enema. Plus, I talk about the So-crates memorial giveaways.

Live your best summer ever with the PenBoyRoy official YouTube channel shirt. This shirt is too awesome to take off under any circumstances. Cannonball into the deep end with it on. Go to the wave pool with it on. Rock it on vacation with your toes in the sand. It's a conversation starter that will have people noticing your excellent taste in pens rather than anything else about your appearance.
