Four Color Process Blog

This is the essence of what my brain see when it looks at comics. Not plot, not ink work,or pencil work, but dots. Tattoos where you gotta lick your arm. Enigmatic zip-a-tone. The eternal why? And color. I have no idea where I'm headed descriptively, because I have merged into the ineffable - over bullshit, no less. GO: Four Color Process Blog Shut up, Ange - I'm cryin' a little...

Egyptian pulp-magazins

Frits Jonker took pictures of a collection of Egyptian pulp mags at the comic convention in Haarlem (NL), that he attended to present his spectacular own new book (of which hopefully I will post more in the near future)

More overhere and in the coming days at Frits' blog.

Online Puppet - Phil Fumble - Winin' Boy

Just messin' around with the concept of the intertubes as toy. Holy Warbles has an interesting selection of musical tastes, and also a cool little embed service that links to many of his/her/its tracks as a playlist. The site is beautiful auditorily and visually. Either way, it has plenty of embeds, from differing services.

In conjunction with that, I was thinking of how to make an online puppet. A moronically featureless one, and I knew I had to use Flash because Shockwave is a thing of the past, really. So I searched for an online Flash Generator and found http://www.effectgenerator.com/ which let's you kinda build real flash - no ads but if you wanna "keep" your flash you have to buy it, other than that they will host it. But no redirects or limit to how many attempts to get it right. Pretty cool.

So I took the embedded music from Holy Warbles upload of Jelly Roll Morton's equisite Winin' Boy, and said "Now who's the winin' boy puppet gonna be?" The answer: Phil Fumble, because he ain't never satisfied despite his relationship with the fine ass Fritzi Ritz. He is, for all intents and purposes, a winin' boy. Plus he looks like Frank McHugh

INSTRUCTIONS: Start playing the music, then when the singing begins, click on Phil to open and close his mouth in order to have him sing along. FUN! Try to keep up. Also, next time your a-hole boss is ranting about some BS or your nagging spouse is yammering on about your shortcomings, just click on Phil to channel them into a pathetic online puppet! FUN AGAIN!

Nize Baby, that Milt Gross

Author/cartoonist Milt Gross gained popularity with his Nize Baby stories, chock full of Yiddish phonetic dialect which had to be read aloud to be deciphered.  His  Sunday Funnies were so popular they even turned up as the backdrop of a Hollywood musical number  (warning to Lex Ten, Betty Hutton alert).

Brush a gogo

Frits Jonker reports:

"Believe it or not: Pieter Dorrenboom has his own site! As i have said more than a few times, it was a long time waiting, but the result is worth it. So, for today, all i want to show with you is a link to Brush a-gogo !
(And for those with some money to spend, Pieter sells some prints and other cool stuff. Impress your friends with work of Hollands most underrated comic artist on the walls of your living room!)"

I prefer to enjoy my comic in bed with some Hollandse Drops.
Cathy Berberian had a more enthusiastic approach.
