The 24 Hour Comic Challenge for 2010

Last weekend was the 24 Hour Comic Challenge. If you would like to see what I came up with in just 24 hours, click here.

24 Hour Comic Challenge at Comic Book Ink

Last year folks kept dropping off food, but it was all pastries and sweets. This year I'm confident I will finish if I'm fortified with protein. I have a carnivore theme planned for this year's comic. I've done three 24 Hour Comic Challenges in the past. Of those I've completed two of them. You can see them here:

1. The infamous Dead Cat Story
2. After (only ten pages posted)
3. The Lost Son of Solomon

I'm looking forward to this weekend when my fellow CLAW members and I will be participating in the 24-hour Comic Challenge at Comic Book Ink.

Jet City Comic Show Report and The Return of Stickman

I had a table at the Jet City Comic Show at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. This was the first year of the show and I'm proud to say that I pulled a profit, a modest one, but a profit all the same. The show kept me from posting a movie review this week, but I promise to have one ready for you next week. Here are some snapshots of the show and today's The Return of Stickman.

The Comic Critic Reviews Mrs. Miniver

This movie has stuck with me over the years. I still remember how much I cried during this WWII tear-jerker when, as a kid, I saw it on television. ‘Though I’d seen other WWII films with piles of he-man action and bravery, this was the very first one that showed the British “Home Front.” And while it was very saccharin, I didn’t hold that against the viewing experience. Maybe I was just more open-minded as a kid, but I still see Mrs. Miniver that way and love it to death every time I see it. That is why I’m hanging all cinema logic: it’s a ten in my book. And let me add that Mrs. Miniver won seven, count them, seven Oscars. Mine were not the only heartstrings touched.
