Happy Birthday Dad

Dad's Hidden Talent

My fans know what a real man my Dad is, but I want to let you know of one of his other talents. Dad is a gifted critic.

      In the same way that Eddie Fitzgerald can spontaneously generate a theory on any subject you could ever bring up, Dad can elucidate an opinion on any topic.

Whether it’s on how to use a knife and fork, how the world works, men hugging men, what smoking essence does to your brain, or what makes great art, he can instantly provide you with what you did wrong and why.

With that said, let’s read his latest review on a popular entertainment.

 ...and now, dear blog readers, settle back and relax, because it's time for:

Mike's Critique Corner

Dad’s Review of Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror 2016

“I thought you where going to introduce it,  the annimation is great especially on a large screen. 

But the commercials after the show where 4 times as long as the show.  

I watched part of the Simpsons, really stupid I don't know why it is so popular. 

Hope your interview is good news next week.” 

I think you missed your calling Dad; you could have been a great critic, inspiring fear in the hearts of all creative spirits. 

Oh, and I thought you'd like to meet his cute stenographer who is hanging on every word of her hero's dictation.

Oh and if you are wondering what to get him for his birthday, here is his suggestion:

Happy Birthday Dad!

Hi Mom!

Treehouse of Horror Storyboards 1

 Originally this cartoon was supposed to be 3 and a half minutes and there are a lot more storyboards that happen before this one starts - but another story for another blog adventure.

I ended up having to squeeze a heck of a lot of action and story into a very short amount of time. I REALLY wanted to do the original longer intro because that was more story and character based. If you're interested I can post some of that stuff later.

Happy Father's Day

Here's the ol' man posing in his cartoon museum. He must be the biggest cartoon fan in the world! He collects caricatures of himself. The one below is by Dragan (I hope I spelled it right!) The photo on the left of the wall is my Mom when she was a young fashion model.

 Since I moved to LA he had to find a replacement for me so he adopted Missy the cat and is teaching her to box so she can grow up to be a real man like him.

 Whoops, look like she sprained something in training! Thank goodness for rehab.
 
Here's one of my favorite family pictures from about 1963 0r 4.Check out Dad's cool glasses. Mom and Elizabeth are all dolled up too, but I refused to wear my snap on tie that day, or maybe I accidentally soiled it.

Happy Father's day to dads everywhere on the planet and especially, you DAD!

LA Comicon Feb 22 2015

Does anyone remember Phantom Lady and classic girlie comics artist Matt Baker's great comics? Jim here sure does!

That handsome lad there below is a budding artist himself and will be more famous that Walt Disney and Picasso put together in 10 years! Look how proud Dad is-and he should be!

I get this request a lot - to do a World's Finest version of Ren and Stimpy:
 
Boy is Blogger hard to figure out these days...I can't seem to get anything to line up.

Chris here was a real sport.
Don't Marcelo and Christian have a lovely child?

 The one below is the best one I did today, but the photo is crappy because I took it myself, and I'm the 2nd worst photographer in the world.

That Vincent is quite a card, isn't he folks?

Thanks to Bruce Schwartz for inviting me to his swell con.

We didn't get photos of everyone's drawings but if you have one and would like to see it posted here, send me a scan or a photo!
