One of the biggest problems...errrrr fun frustrations with doing any type of artwork for clients. We really want to make clients happy, but also realize that sometimes their "vision" may get in the way of the artist interpretation. Such a fine line to walk.

Also, Manuel had a chance to be a featured artist at one of his local comic stores on Batman Day. The print that he made for that is siiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

And, the Penguin. The new show on HBO Max adapted from the Oswald Cobb character in Matt Reeves' The Batman with Robert Pattinson. This show is so good looking into the mind of Oswald and how his brain works. It's not your Burgess Meredith Penguin with the hat and monocle and long cigarette. It's your chess playing, ruthless, I am better than you Penguin.

"I will make myself small, so they can feel big." Oh, so so sinister.

Enjoy.

Three dudes talk about cool shit in regards to art, comics, movies, pop culture, and a menagerie of other goodies. We will sing our praises of what we love, and might touch on a few things that left us feeling a little meh.

John Hageman started his professional comics career in 2006 with his weekly webcomic Social Vermyn, which ran until 2013. In 2015, Hageman began co-publishing the Rock and Roll Biographies comic series with ACME Ink.
