Very special thanks to Tom Brazelton who makes a comic called Theater Hopper. I met Tom last year when we shared a hotel at C2E2. Right off the bat I realized we had a lot in common. We were both young fathers straddling the line between creativity and responsibility, we did comics based on pop-culture references that most likely alienate 90% of the populace, and neither of us seem to understand why everyone else is so wrong all the time. Tom is the kind of guy that will tell you a story about internet confrontation that ends with, “And after 3 days of me telling him what a fucking twat-face he was, HE STILL DIDN’T AGREE WITH ME!” Then he looks at you with a completely straight face and gives you the ol’ “Right? Amiright? Can you believe this guy?” eyes. You have to admire his commitment. Sometimes I wish he would make a second comic featuring the alternate universe versions of his characters where they only watch indie flicks and call it “Theatre Hipster.” That one’s a freebie, Tom. On the house. Now get to work.
You can purchase Tom’s books and other merch HERE or read his movie reviews HERE.
The title of the commentary says Tom Brazelton does "Multiplex." Judging by the later comments, you're aware he actually does Theater Hopper. Oops mistakes.
well guess you aren't going to attend All-Con here in Dallas this weekend…
damnit you had better invent time-travel sometime in the future and travel back in time to be at both events simultaneously..! also you could mess with Josh by telling him crazy things about Apple from the future.
"Briar Patch of Chaos" … good name for a band? Or greatest name for a band? You decide.
It's the name of my Jerry Garcia/Mannheim Steamroller tribute filking band.
Don't say Briar Patch, it reminds me of Insurrection – gah! I said it out loud!
Amazing.
Wait, if his beard makes him RIker then wouldn't he have to take orders from the bald guy?
No, bald guy + beard = state of authority stasis
Until the bald buy either grows hair again (unlikely) or shaves the beard (probably also unlikely), then he doesn't have to take orders from him.
Also, the bald guy with a beard has to be more sober than Joel, so he could actually give orders.
There's a method to these things; don't mess with it.
Thank God this hair debate stayed above the "equator". I dread to think how that battle would have went.
Riker's beard was the contriubting factor to the success of TNG. It's why the series only became really good after he grew it, and shaving it off is why Insurrection and Nemesis were so bad. Now, you may counter that he had a beard in Generations, but was that REALLY any worse than Insurrection and Nemesis? The power of the beard elevated it from dreck to passable.
You just blew my mind. I wonder how much an authentic Frakes beard would go for on ebay…
So much to love here!
Panel 6 is great as a standalone, even.
Wearing my brand new copyright shirt today. My son and his occasionally articulate jr. high friends in the carpool were impressed!
Eli gets epiladied. Hilarious.
Chicago is quite a drive from Des Moines. I wonder what Tom and Jared are doing there.
