REQUIRED READING

What exactly is this?

The Institute of Questionable Life Choices — a comedy universe built around Professor Condom, with 7 series of animated shorts. The jokes are loud. The craft is serious.

What happens when I submit a story?

Your short story and email are saved for Bob and Joe to review. If they’d like to hear the rest, they may contact you about appearing on The Wobbly Stool Podcast or future content. Submission does not guarantee selection.

What’s the Founding 50?

A planned community for people who want to be involved early. The form collects expressions of interest; it does not award or reserve membership. Details and benefits are still being developed.

Is this actually about condoms?

Professor Condom is a comedy character. This website shares entertainment and collects stories and pitches; it is not a condom store or a source of medical advice.
