Thank you @surgegamerlion.bsky.social for your fun art with my characters!
Why do I think "Saturday Night Fever" for BP would involve OT spent balancing ledgers?
I'm nearing the point where I think I may need some beta readers or something. I'm loathe to do it because I'm very much in my own head, but I think my own.. issues, shall we say... may be tainting the (future) story a bit.
We shall see. I'm going to do my best to step back.
"It's heavily implied that The Scarecrow came to life when the Munchkin farmer who made him first painted his face, but we never learn WHY he came to life."
Remember the guy who painted an oceanscape that was so realistic he fell in and drowned?
Baum was so much more random early on.
Absolutely not wrong.
Folks... Most of "Return to Oz" was actually based on two of those books. The headless Mombi (actually Langwidere, but whatever), the Wheelers... all of that came from Baum.
I'm not even sure I *like* the things I did when I was younger than 30... except for that Indiana Jones rock epic.
From "Star Force: Fugitive Alien 2"
Halkon: You'll never destroy me, Starwolf!
(ship explodes)
Tom Servo: Well, this has at least got to slow him down, geez...
The movie "One Crazy Summer" was kind of clever, if sophomoric.
Heh. I admire you paying attention to the plot.
I remember watching one episode with Mom where I annoyedly pointed out a character's blatant continuity error and left the room.
When I returned later, my Mom said, "Uh, yeah, Thomas... that turned out to be a clue that the person was the murderer."
I think that was the same episode... they were making a cartoon show out of it? I could be wrong.
This reminds me of a "Murder She Wrote" my Mom was watching about a supposedly in-demand cartoon voice actress.
Actress doing Pepe Le Pew: So you zeenk I would be a good voice for your cartoon character, no?
Me in MST mode: No, I think you'd SUCK, but I have to follow what the script says!
Agreed. One of the biggest problems in any show/movie/etc. that sets up the idea that one of the characters is a creator of something, is that usually when they SHOW said thing, it's rarely all that good.
The puppet thing in "Too Close" was such a desperate way to make cartooning amusing to the general public.
Most of us are just so dull IRL. ;)
Future War is beyond ridiculous, but Bernhardt feels like he's definitely trying to give a performance.
The Easter Egg is if you tell them "Show Biz Kids" is the same chord pattern over and over again they throw you out of the studio.
There are so many days I wish Albert were here; I would especially love to have had his feedback on my comic. He was always so encouraging and full of ideas.
It's like you can have a vision in your head of "this page is for the so-and-so plot point" and then when you finally get to the page, it's like, "shit, I kind of need to write this cohesively, don't I"
How much has Projection Edge changed since its initial conception in 2017?
Just one example...
Before the first book was over, I had planned for Buddy to shoot Arthur through the head.
.... Yeah, I got rid of that plot point tout suite.
I've often noticed that if I have a tremendous amount of resistance to drawing a page... it needs a rewrite BADLY. And every time I do the rewrite, the resistance goes away.
I suppose if I sat on my butt all day, I'd see things his way, too.
HAHAHA! That's great.
Coincidentally, last weekend I drew the first page where we see her in the waking world...although it's long after she's woken up.
Yeah, it does that to me too sometimes and I don't know why. Cc: @keenspot.bsky.social any input here?
The projectionedge.com link sometimes doesn't resolve...try newshounds.com or newshounds.keenspot.com.
They passed gay marriage legislation, so yes, they do things when voted in.
She has an agenda and she'll do what she has to in order to accomplish it.
How many years of stand-up comedians making fun of customer service calls that force customers to shout "I want to talk to a real person!" will it take for these tech-bros to wake up?
Well, sometimes it's important to feel the mood, and whatever it takes to do that...
I seem to remember his friends just routinely pulling out postcards when they needed his werewolf form.
You think that's bad? Try "vraisemblance," an actual word I saw in a Victorian folk tale analysis book.
I wouldn't say that, your work resonates with life as far as I'm concerned
"Hon, could you grab the scripts from the drawing table? I'd go except that if I move my left arm, the cat will squidge himself over my tablet and I'd have to move him, and I don't think I can withstand him giving me a dirty look again..."
