    The Funky Flavor Podcast Ep. 37 – Ernie Altbacker of AREA 51 STUDIOS #3
    Jun 13 2026

    AREA 51 STUDIOS #3

    Written by Ernie Altbacker

    Art/Colors/Letters by Steve Bryant

    Our story centers on one alien producer in particular, Zephril Boon. ZB, as friends and frenemies alike call him, lives to rub elbows, claws, tentacles, pseudopods, testenticals (don't ask) with the same outrageous, weird, hilarious, and exhilarating personalities and situations that we’re familiar with in “our” Hollywood. Only…more so.

    ZB is on the last of a long queue of "very last" chances. This is it! He'll do anything to save his once-great career from the flaming dumpster fire that it will become if his new show, The Human Race, fails.
