Welcome to the “office hours” of Annenberg School for Communication lecturer Dwayne Booth, a political cartoonist who commonly goes by the name “Mr. Fish.”

Here, in the inaugural “Office Hours” podcast produced by Penn Today, which explores the minds of the University’s academic talents in a more unbuttoned and freewheeling setting outside of the lecture hall, Mr. Fish discusses the origin—and serendipity—of his name, the influence of the late Stan Lee on his life, his terrible movie taste while on an airplane, and his unusual favorite color.
