ComicMix Quick Picks – February 2, 2009
* the. Speak-er is shaped like a cartoon speech bubble. Of course, if it was a speech bubble, it would have speech recognition to render text on the fly. If it was really cool, it would look like John Workman lettering.
* ICv2 – First Second to Publish Scott McCloud. "First Second Books has announced that it will publish two upcoming works by Scott McCloud, the multiple award-winning author of Zot, Understanding Comics, Reinventing Comics, and Making Comics. First Second plans to publish a McCloud-penned fictional graphic novel, tentatively entitled The Sculptor, in the spring of 2013 followed by a non-fiction work."
* Val Kilmer to be king of Bacchus in New Orleans parade.
* Aaaah! Zombie filking… wait, I’m being redundant.
* More NYCC stuff: ICv2 says Joss Whedon will preview ‘Dollhouse’ at 12:45pm (EST) on Sunday, February 8th at the IGN Theater. Whedon will then conduct an autograph session starting at 2pm.
* The NYCC Indie After Party. I’ll be there… I’ll probably need the drink.
Anything else? Consider this an open thread.
Look who is taking part in Quick Stop Entertainment's "Masters of Song Fu #3" songwriting contest. Neil Innes! Neil FREAKIN' Innes!http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/2009/02/03/…Neil is a member of the Bonzo Dog Band. He was also a part of Monty Python. And he and Eric Idle created "The Rutles." The guy's a legend! Ask Mike Gold.Also taking part in Song Fu are the singing comedy duo Paul and Storm, Hank Green (Nerd Fighter and Vlog Brother), Molly Lewis (a.k.a. the UkeTube sensation SweetAfton23) and many more, including … me! I'm a bit star struck, but even more intimidated by the Round One Challenge, "Write a happy song."
Neil Innes? Wasn't he eaten? To much rejoicing?
You could ask his girlfriend, but that seems like a rather personal question.
No, the rather personal question is "Alone at sea… how long is it?" Get your Python straight.
You are right, my "Python" does bend slightly to the left. But again, that seems very personal!
