30 Minutes Of Comic Book Chaos: That Time We Drew SPARKY

Tom Mason @tommakescomics.bsky.social · 2d

Good morning, workers!

Tom Mason @tommakescomics.bsky.social · 2d

30 minutes of comic book chaos as artists I know yak it up while drawing a weekly goal. And they have 30 minutes because the clock shuts it down, no matter who's talking. It's a hoot and a half!

Would totally buy a Hawkgirl series that looked like this.

Detective David Hastings just discovered that there's been a serial killer operating in Pittsburgh for the last 143 years...

Really good. Done when Kurt was 29-years-old.

My friend J.C. Vaughn - we're having dinner in NY next week after the con - makes comics with a personal touch. This one is set in his hometown, Pittsburgh. It's also got Night Stalker/Night Strangler vibes

My pitch for a new TV series: a reboot of "The Littlest Hobo," but instead of a dog it's this dude....

Buster Keaton's Crazy Stunts & Comedy (Supercut)

Tom Mason @tommakescomics.bsky.social · 3d

It's Buster Keaton's birthday (Oct 4). He's my favorite of the old silent comedians, and 2nd place isn't even close. He made it look so easy, but as he has said, "That doesn't mean it didn't hurt."

"Mom, Dad? I know you were against me moving to Hollywood to be an actress, but guess what? I just landed a speaking role!"

"That's great, honey! Who do you play?"

Rats? Demons? Someone's cremated grandfather? The horrific contents of an abandoned storage unit may (or may not) shock you!

Tom Mason @tommakescomics.bsky.social · 4d

My friend Jan Strnad has a story in this EC-style horror anthology about abandoned storage units!

I’m really enjoying the new fall TV season: Fantasy Cops Who Care Too Much, Mentally Ill Crime Solvers Who Can’t Resist Puzzles, Fight The System Doctors, The Overly Complicated Nighttime Game Show, Real Life Assholes, and Quirky Legal Twist Lawyers.

Written and directed by Mike Farrell, the "War Co-Respondent" episode of M*A*S*H is another in a series of B.J. Hunnicutt Loves His Wife episodes, but Susan St. James kills it as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

I was a guest on this pod where we talked about storytelling in comics, and what happens between the panels (aka in the gutters). A good breakdown of how comics differ from movies and TV.
