Daily Comic Journal: July 28, 2023: “Let’s All Go To The (Crowded, Happy) Lobby.”

Chapter:

I hope I don’t come across as upset here, no, far from it. It’s hard for me to describe just how, happy, how joyous all the moviegoers were here tonight. Now I’m sure there were people here to see other movies and I’m guessing that others were seeing “Oppenheimer” on the non IMAX screen, but the crowd I saw “Oppenheimer” on IMAX with (and it was packed) were all there to see and enjoy the film. No talking, no cell phones interrupting, everyone was there to experience this story. I’m also guessing that all the people here to see “Barbie” (and if I had more room to draw, I could have filled up a few pages drawing all the women, girls and guys, who were dressed in Barbie-like gear and extremely happy to share the experience of watching that movie with others). This is what going to the movies are all about. Sitting in a darkened theater, your attention transfixed to the large screen, enjoying the film with others. This whole experience made me happy! Oh, and I will be seeing “Barbie” soon.

My Artwork and Designs at Hasbro 1983 thru 1989

From November of 1983 through April of 1989 I was an artist/package/toy designer at Hasbro. During those 5 years I created and illustrated a lot of artwork on toy packaging, designed a toy line and illustrated many, many images that were used by licensors for a myriad of companies that wanted Hasbro characters on their products.

This past November I was a guest at the TF Con (Transformers Convention) in Baltimore. I printed a 56 page book that collected many of the designs and illustrations of the toys I worked on to sell at that convention. Along with all the artwork, I give background stories for all of these toys.

They include:

Transformers, G.I.Joe, Air Raiders, Battle Beasts, Army Ants, Inhumanoids, Visionaries, Cops n’ Crooks

I have copies of the book left from the show that you can buy here on my site. For just $20 plus $6 to cover shipping.

(And if you order before Christmas I’ll include free,  one of the personal Christmas cards I made and sent to family & friends over the years!)

Don’t be fooled by the date on the above comic, It was posted TODAY!

This is a DAILY comic, based on everyday of my life. Because of that, having to complete a comic every day and with the inability to get ahead by completing a bunch of comics ahead of time, it becomes very easy to fall behind.

You’ll note that the comic posted today is about ELEVEN months behind, but don’t let that fool you. It’s new and was posted today. I write notes at the end of each day, about what occurred in the previous 24 hours, so I have written material for every comic. Consider that a script.

So when you read the comic that talks about what happened to me on the date written on the comic, you’re assured that it actually happened. Albeit several months ago.

I have 10 years of comics archived (over 3,000) and if you haven’t read them yet, they’re new to you. I know that digging through past years of comics could be a pain, so to help you out I’ve broken down each year and a link that’ll take you directly to the January 1st comic of every year so you can begin reading each year from the beginning.

I’ve got Ten Years of Comics posted now…

If you’d like to read specific years you can start reading each year at the following links:

• February 17, 2010– I began my comics this year and to be truthful a lot of these early ones are pretty sloppy. BUT – this year I was involved in a car accident, my Uncle Al died as did my cat Oscar.

• 2011 – Was a roller coaster year. There was the good; I adopted Two Kittens and fell in love with Maria. But this year also was the year my father passed away.

• 2012 – Started well, but by the summer my heart was broken and I had to dive back into the dating world, again and again.

• 2013 – Began with the completed construction of my new Sun Room, had a colonoscopy and tried running for 365 straight days.

• 2014 – I met a woman who I thought might be the one, started playing Quizzo and began to be betrayed at work.

• 2015 – This year, well, it may well be the worst of my life.
