Is Book 6 in your future?

In the spring, before Graham moved, before Conventions and well before the baby arrived, we quietly published the Sixth PostScript Collection. How quiet? So quiet, that we (ahem, I) forgot to publish the fact on our website. We sold lots of copies at our Convention appearances this year.  If you missed picking up a copy […]

Mac Conner and art from the 1950s

There was a time when printing technology had improved faster that photography.  It was cheaper, and easier, to print something that an artist had painted than to try to accurately match a photograph in a mass market publication.  McAuley (Mac) Conner’s work is an example of the type of work that was produced to supplement […]

That’s a wrap!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at FanExpo this year. We had a fantastic time meeting existing fans and introducing soon-to-be fans to the world of PostScript. We have since returned home to unpack, relax, cuddle our loved ones big and small, and get back to making comics. Above you can see […]

Walt Disney’s thoughts on animation

Before Walt Disney became synonymous with a multi-billion dollar company that had become a clearing house for seemingly every single creative property in the world, Walt Disney was a young artist trying to make it in the world.  He launched his first animation company at the age of 21, went bankrupt and then launched another […]

Disney memo transcript

Transcript WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION DATE DECEMBER 23, 1935 TO DON GRAHAM FROM WALT Right after the holidays, I want to get together with you and work out a very systematic training course for young animators, and also outline a plan of approach for our older animators. Some of our established animators at the […]

Archie in the news

Graham and I grew up with Archie Comics. Every time my dad came back from a business trip, I got a new Archie Comic. By the time he stopped traveling, my comic collection had grown to over 100 titles…but that’s another story. I drifted away from Archie Comics about the same time that I began […]

Happy Canada Day!

Canada and summer all wrapped up on in video, made by Canadian Chris Hadfield, a retired astronaut who also made headlines singing “Space Oddity” in space last year when he left the International Space Station.

Jumping into June

After three weekends of running hither and yon, we can report that Graham has successfully acquired a house, cleaned it, painted it, and moved a whole bunch of boxes into it.  I can also report that since there was nothing left behind at the apartment, all of his tools and toys have made it safely […]

We’ve got mail! (and we’d like to send it to you)

When the snow melts in the spring, we discover things that disappeared as the snow banks grew and grew.  Things that make our world go around, like fire hydrants, storm drains and mailboxes. The wonderful thing about mailboxes is that for a low, low price, I can put something in that mailbox and it will […]

Get Stripped

“Calvin and Hobbes” cartoonist Bill Watterson made some art recently.  This art made waves because it’s only the second piece of publicly viewable art since he retired “Calvin and Hobbes” in 1995.  The creators for the documentary “Stripped” asked Watterson on a whim to create the poster, and to their surprise, he said yes.  Bill […]

Shirley Temple

Shirley Temple died recently. I’ve never seen any film with Shirley Temple, but she is one of those rare stars who has worked her way into the popular culture in a way that few others do. That, and she has a drink named after her, the Shirley Temple made with ginger ale, grenadine and a […]

The Princess Bride at 25…er…26 and a half

The Princess Bride is one of those movies that I could watch over and over again.  Its story is timeless and hits all the key points of a great story: comedy, adventure, fantasy, romantic love, romance, true love, and fairy tale.  Toss in some good vs. evil, unrequited love, smugglers, castles, and lots of swordplay and […]

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Success isn’t what makes you happy. It really isn’t. Success is doing what makes you happy and doing good work and hopefully having a fruitful life. If I’ve felt like I’ve done good work, that makes me happy. The success part of it is all gravy. I first saw Philip Seymour Hoffman as Lester Bangs […]
