Robert Brian L West shares photos of Benjamin Hobbs and Laura McFarland of "Cerebus in hell?" fame at Gem City Comic Convention. Robert took two copies of STRANGERS with him and had Laura and Ben sign them. Benjamin asked him what he wanted drawn on there; he settled on Hobbs of CEREBUS AND HOBBS. Laura signed the other copy with her version of a Cerebus head - plus there's a version by Ben as well on it.

Star Wars/RoboCop etc VFX Artist and misanthrope finished animated film 30 years in the making: "It’s now locked in concrete at around 80 minutes."Interviewer: That seems remarkably short given the circumstances"
Tippett: "Not for a film that nobody else is paying for!"
Oh wait and adding: "I also got some help from some wealthy friends that gave me some money and allowed me to get over the last few hurdles."
Also: "...the end to see if I get boos, a standing ovation, or something in between. That’s very exciting to me."
Interviewer: "What if the whole theatre has emptied itself by the end?"
Tippett: "I’d call that some form of success."

Here's a couple more links about Frank Miller. Apparently something Frank Miller published 10 years ago is still impacting tender feelings everywhere. I actually know what that feels like.

Oliver said...

Does it go both ways maybe regarding tender feelings? At the same time Kevin Smith's He-Man is causing outrage of being too woke and his approach is milder comparatively than Millers - in fairness no convention has booted him either. Maybe I remember wrong, but didn't Miller even apologize about that comic at some point saying he wasn't thinking clearly?

Oliver said...

Anyway, between He-Man and Holy Terror Cerebus is maybe that little grey area that has been at many ends of the spectrum.

Birdsong said...

Miller has said there's no way he could do something like Holy Terror again and that it came from a place of anger. My beef is the sudden outrage, as if he published it last week instead of 2011. There is a vocal minority causing this cancel culture nonsense. I can't stand to see someone offer a fake apology for something they once did that hurts someone's feelings today. Tell them to get over it or ignore them like Miller seems to doing. Good for him, I hope he doesn't give them the satisfaction. By the way, Holy Terror is not very good. I think Dark Horse knew it but the Frank Miller name is going to sell comics so they went for it back then not realizing 10 years is still not long enough to avoid finger wagging from the woke.
