The Wrong Way

I've launched a new show with my friends Dave Kellett and Kevin McShane — The Wrong Way. We try to draw off-model versions of popular characters and roast each other mercilessly in the process! Here's our first episode!

(Setting: An office at the Fairmount City branch of Evil Inc. Catnip, a blonde woman in a tight blue catsuit and visor, storms into the room angrily. Iron Dragon, a man in a purple and black villain costume, sits at a desk looking confused.)

Iron Dragon: "What are you talking about?"

Panel 3:

Iron Dragon: "That's… that’s infuriating!"

(Iron Dragon, now angrier, leans toward Catnip.)

Iron Dragon: "You're SALARIED! Howcome YOU get a commission?!?"

Look for the Silver Lining

I just caught a hilarious movie on iFilm.com! It’s called Tim Warner: A Life In The Clouds. Its a comedy about a bad cartoonist who does a lame daily comic strip. (think Ziggy, Garfield, etc…). When his comic is taken out of the paper and replaced by a more “edgier” political strip (think Mallard Fillmore, Boondocks, etc) the two cartoonist must battle it out!

It’s a little long at 36 minutes, but it’s well worth the time. If you’ve ever winced at hokey comics like Marmaduke and Ziggy, you’re going to love this. It was clearly made by people who love comic strips. These guys nailed it. I’m telling you, I laughed out loud.

And they even got Berke Breathed to do a cameo.

The movie itself has a Web site, that’s worth checking out as well.

[Edit: The movie has some profanity. Also, I’m told that FilmThreat gave it a bad review. Boo on you, FilmThreat, I say boo on you!]
