Matt GroeningIs anyone a fan of Matts' early comic strips before he got famous with Simpsons and Futurama? Jeff and Akbar is one and Binky is another ( from the Life in Hell series of cartoons ).....they're great, but more adult oriented... thoughts??

You think matt is really a member of the NRA?
|
gort
|

I don't mind his earlier work, but it is a little crude (the artwork) compared to his new stuff, obviously. But it is still great!
|
gort
|
Long time ago....yes!
But, Life In Hell was drawn perfectly for what it was.....!
|
CartoonMan
|
Oh, hell yeah! It's funny looking back on how an artist began his time as a cartoon developer, and see how far his drawing, and storylines progress.
|

|
Or....watch them get worse....Hank Ketchams' Dennis the Menace, for example...started as a one panel little gem, then got stretched into a longer format, taken over by other artists......
I'm on a rant again....don't get me started on Popeye....*shudders*
|
CartoonMan
|
Hehe, don't worry, I shan't get you started.

|
gort

Yay Red.......thank you!!
|
Cloverfield

I liked Dennis the Menace too. I like the comics.

Good! See, now our forum has SO many topics of interest, I can see membership shooting WAY up.....
No boredom here!!
|
Cloverfield
|
I hope so. We'll just have to wait and see. We need to advertise it a bit more. Any ideas?
|
gort
|
Well....the biggest, and oldest Comic Book convention is held in San Diego in August....if we printed up flyers or business cards, I bet you could get at least 100-300 new members......I would have to figure out a way to hand them out though....it lasts for 3 days, 24 hours a day, so by hand is out. Any thoughts?
I could get you the organizers info if you want....
|
Cloverfield
|
I don't live in san dieago. But if you could make a poster or something and stick somewhere where a lot of people would be awesome but August is a LONG time away. Anything happening soon?
|
gort
|
Don't know, I don't really follow that sort of thing anymore....
And I know you don't live in San Diego, by the way. lol
( we have lots of comic book stores around here though....but I have no desire to drive hundreds of miles ( money wise ) to contact the owners...would take weeks )
|
Cloverfield
|
Yeah, perhaps email em???
|
gort
|
Not sure that would work. I'll give it some thought...
|
Cloverfield
|
Yeah, we need to find more ways.
|
gort
|
It may help in your quest, to mention that the forum is much more than just Futurama....we have lots of Simpsons info, animation info, classic sci-fi film info and loads of interesting links to boot.....perhaps emphasize the vast melting pot style we have become.....

Okay
