The Return of Stickman #793
David Jordan initially drew a Return of Stickman strip for me. But, unhappy with it he wrote the script for it and submitted that instead. It is by far the most professional looking script I have received to date. How could I resist in seeing how well I could complete it? Below is the script he sent me. Thanks David.
INT. STICKMAN OFFICE (SCENE 1) – NIGHT
(Or day it doesn't matter lol)
Stickman is sitting and writing something on a sheet of paper.
INT. STICKMAN OFFICE (SCENE 2) - NIGHT
Bill shows his head through the half-open door and Stickman turns to him.
BILL -Hey,I forgot something. Mind if I get it?
STICKMAN -Nope, not at all.
INT. STICKMAN OFFICE (SCENE 3) - NIGHT
Bill is fiddling around the desk while Stickman is still writing.
INT. STICKMAN OFFICE (SCENE 4) - NIGHT
Bill is half way through the room to the door and is holding a duck. Stickman has stopped writing and is looking at Bill amazed(with his eyes popped out).
STICKMAN -...
INT. STICKMAN OFFICE (SCENE 5) - NIGHT
Stickman is sitting and writing something on a sheet of paper.
INT. STICKMAN OFFICE (SCENE 6) - NIGHT

The Return of Stickman #790 & Chalk Art
There is a small park in downtown Tacoma called Frost Park. When rumors were floating that a fence might be placed up around the park to keep out undesirables, some locals got a crazy idea. They would make the park a fun place to visit on their Friday lunch breaks by holding a weekly Chalk-Off Slam. Anyone is welcome to participate with free chalk on hand. Voting of on the art is done online on the Tacoma Urbanist blog. Rubbing elbows with a few of the other artists in Tacoma is a fun way to spend a lunch hour. I go when I have a chance. And this last Friday I won the slam with this tiki design.

The Werewolf - 1956
My friend Bill Barnes of Unshelved told me that I should be blogging my webcomics. So, until I’ve learned enough CSS to revamp me webcomic sites I’ll be using this blog as a way to promote my strips. Today you get a double feature; A movie review the classic B-movie The Werewolf (1956), and what might be a controversial The Return of Stickman.
This is just one of many movies that Sam Katzman produced. Katzman was all about keeping on budget and increasing the profit margin by getting them quickly in the can. Most of his films are B-Movie classics. He might have worked fast, with an eye for the bottom line, but somehow, most of his films have a solid professional feel. The Werewolf was made fourteen years after The Wolf Man, just a year prior to I Was A Teenage Werewolf. What I love about this film is its location. Sure, the sign on the sheriff’s office says Mountaincrest, but every other sign in town reads Big Bear, a nice hunting community from what we can tell. If the scenery around Big Bear City looks familiar, it’s because the town is a common filming locale for movies. From classics like Old Yeller (1956) to recent horror efforts like Ticks (1999), Big Bear City has played host to over 200 films. You might want to check out their annual film festival.
Featured in the film, the cool jazz of Mischa Bakaleinikovff.
