Finished Torch Tiger




You've got quite a touch with a Chimp Jeff. All the stories were great ( well, maybe not all). The one I read last was the Sherlock Holmes-like story because it had so much text. I ended up liking it a lot.

Why does Byron Howard look so much like Chris Sanders? Who influenced who?

Anyway, great book. Wish I had the first one...Rocket Johnson?

I made the title a link to the animatic I made of the characters depicted in the digitally modified oil painting shown. It's not Torch Tiger related.

Also added a scan of the Ranjo Denny's autograph

Some Initial Success for "Batter! Broil!! Baste!!!"

FYI ... While it isn't a contract (yet), I have been contacted back by three publishers for "Batter! Broil!! Baste!!! The Comic Creators Cookbook," but I'm getting ahead of myself. After putting in more changes two nights ago, I spent last night from 12-3am sending out emails to publishers and companies that I found on a Web site list ... This morning there was an editor from Scribner (a division of Simon and Schuster) who wants me to send an official proposal, then came in an email from an editor at Conde Nast who said, "Please send me a manuscript, or whatever you have at this point. Many thanks," ... and then I got a phone call from another editor who said he rarely calls back from email submissions but made an exception for B! B!! B!!! His company published the book "Taking Woodstock" which recently became a movie by Ang Lee ...

More will happen, for sure. It's only 12 hours since the emails went out.

This is getting fun.

Retro Make Believe Movie Noveliztions






Title is a link to a series of 30. And it's British Retro making it even more novel. Novel, get it?

Rick, Talk about your undeserving Novels for make believe movie novelizations. The Konga is an ACTUAL paperback movie novelization. I found another for Reptilicus

Hulk Not Like Merger
