Thanks for the link. I forget Brevoort wrote the fill-in issue. Never heard the story about their script being butchered by the license holders, that's a disaster. I got dinged a few times for putting real band names in the dialogue, mostly I put them in the art (t-shirts, etc) and they passed.

Make as few pedestals for people as possible. You can see them more clearly that way.

AP story waits until paragraph 16 to mention police & prosecutors are accused of conspiring to protect the cop who's apparently the real killer, until then making him seem like a lone wolf

I live on Staten Island. It is not a part of NYC. It is a chamber of Hell ringed by toll bridges. Weep for me.

20 years ago today (!!) I sent out this email announcing my first-ever show on #WFMU, which took place in the wee hours of the morning on July 5, 2004.
Tomorrow I’ll celebrate by starting with a selection of songs that I played on that very first show. I hope you can tune in at noon EDT!

I got an advance PDF of Hello Darkness #1 from @boom-studios.com and I read it and enjoyed it. Nice mix of ongoing stories, done-in-ones, weird bits and pin-ups. Swell line-up of talent, everything looks great. Worth checking out/supporting. Anthologies are a hard sell, so, good luck, everyone.

Today's Patreon post: Sketches/notes for an unproduced Milk & Cheese superhero strip, worked up for the similarly unproduced 8th issue (Milk & Cheese # Hate). Going by percentages, there's potentially 7 or 8 good gags in there. Maybe 9!
$1 a month unlocks the yocks!

Yesterday's Patreon post was about Fight-Man, because someone sent me some interview questions about one of the few Marvel characters even the IP lawyers never heard of. W/four pages of pencils, scanned from shitty Xeroxes made at the Marvel offices back in the day.

You can tell when Kurtzman is more engaged and/or finds a strong theme. I've read the Cochran volumes multiple times and can barely remember any of the Davis and Severin stories.

Elder, then Wood, then...Davis and Severin are incredible, I love them both, but if you think about it, people don't really talk about their stories. They got the iffy scripts and neither are able to elevate them, despite Davis's naturally funny/energetic style and Severin's technical chops/detail.

It's heart is smack-dab in the right place. It's a movie I want to love. I think I would have had more fondness for it and give it more of a break if I saw it earlier than I did (my early 50s).

I like the monster designs, esp the Gill-Man, but the kids are poorly written/acted, which weighs the good stuff down so it never really takes off. It's like if Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein was The Ritz Brothers Meet Frankenstein. There's no center, and the monsters are blanks as characters.

Monster Squad is a mess, I don't love it, but it's better than The Goonies. So is carpal tunnel and gum surgery. I never saw The Explorers, which is weird, bc iirc that's Joe Dante and he's almost always worth checking out.

I wish I could talk more about all these awful movies but I'm allergic to superhero movies, Tarantino, and Tarantino-wannabes, so I haven't seen a lot of them. But The Goonies. The fucking Goonies. I saw it when it came out and it made me want to torch children. Temple of Duh-lite horseshit. Awful.

I had a really rough time with Black Rainbow, it just did not work for me and I was coming off the high of Mandy and had hopes for it. I hated enough of It Follows to almost tip it into incensed, but there were a few scenes I liked, so I'm kinda hold-my-tongue-mad at it when people go on about it.

I think he's vastly overrated by a lot of people. His film's are mostly lovely to look at but lunkheaded, and his low points are expensive nonsense. There's less there than meets the eye.

Fourteen new posts on the Patreon this past month, including a downloadable comic strip print for backers at the $10 level. Most posts are unlock at the $1 a month. Hoping to get a new script PDF uploaded this week, along with some odds and ends. Today's all work/laundry.

I'm not up to that era, yet. I like any time Schulz does a strip about comics, so I'll probably really dig that.

You've just summarized our 100+ episodes of Unpacking Peanuts including new appreciation for Sally & at least one host's rejection of helicopter Snoopy. We're currently finding the gems in the late 80s and hear tell the 90s get better. Sounds like you might like our take. pod.link/unpackingpeanuts
