Sailors and Snarks
Couple of things for yez. First of all, it looks like the amazing Tom Neely will be illustrating a couple of my Popeye scripts, which is frankly terrific news.

Between Bruce Ozella's Segar-esque penmanship and Tom's perfectly in-tune cartooning style, this is going to be one beautiful looking book. (And both Bruce and Tom are lettering their stuff by hand! I can't tell you how happy this makes me.)
Next squib for your delectation: that unscrupulous ratbag, Wilburforce J. Walrus, has hijacked my Blogger account and uploaded a frankly libellous process post to the Snark Island blog. It may be of interest to those of you who like to see the nuts and bolts of how a comic book cover is put together. Also to my lawyers.

I thought it was a monthly! I only wrote the thing, I'm afraid - scheduling matters are outside my jurisdiction. I turned the scripts in on time, what can I tell you?
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about Tom Neely's terrificness, but.
There are currently two scheduled space hotels, and a number of organizations expressing interest in the idea. The first space hotel, named Nautilus, is likely to be launched by Bigelow Aerospace in 2010. Hilton International is working on the Space Islands Project, a scheme to link together spent Space Shuttle fuel tanks to create a large space station. When originally conceived in 1999, the hope was to get this launched by 2005, but the
