#Kayfabetober 03. Kirby. Long live the King of Com

#Kayfabetober 03. Kirby. Long live the King of Comics! I met Jack Kirby once at his last San Diego Comicon in 1993. I was pretty much a know nothing then about the history of comics, but I saw a group swarm this jolly old man and he was looking at this super terrible art and was being very kind to a kid about my age. His wife Roz was right beside him laughing and joking. Someone asked him “Was working at Marvel actually HELL? “ and he laughed and said... “Well I guess if Marvel Comics was hell, that means Stan Lee is Satan.” - but he seemed to say it in a serious tone that struck me like... oh this guy maybe wants to kick this other guys ass? I wonder what their beef was? Roz said “oh cut that out now.”

Of course years later, I found out what the beef was. It made me very sad to hear how he was treated. I guess it’s been made right now but the stories stuck with me for years.

In 1997 I had a messed up waking dream with Jack Kirby in it, cursing and motivating me. It inspired my tasteless YIRMUMAH mini comics of 1998.

Beyond all the comics drama, Jack Kirby was a window for me to dive into learning about the history of comics and many of his colleagues I’ve met over the years. He truly left a mark on everyone who knew him and he sure knew all of his creations would one day be on the big screen... but he always believed in COMICS as the true medium that was driving everything else... 🙏

#kayfabetober 02 The Crow.
Just my own version. The only Crow story I have is once at a comicon my wife and I tabled next to Crow creator James O’Barr and he was sleeping at his table and we could hear him snoring. @cartoonist.kayfabe

#kayfabetober 01. #toth
Day 1 was Alex Toth. My first thought that came to mind was Zorro, as I think Toth had so much fun drawing that series and his love for swashbuckling adventure. It makes me smile.

Alex Toth the artist? What an inspiration. I’ve been studying this master heavily this year as I force myself to simplify and I really want to “draw” better. Get to the point of the storytelling. Try to make the lines matter for something. I try to pretend as I’m drawing that Alex is curmudgeonly coaching me , grumbling “you don’t need that line... why are you adding that?... stop noodling and get to it....”

I like to mark moments in history in my Instagram.

I like to mark moments in history in my Instagram. After mocking Covid-19 since the beginning, packing rallies. No masks. Donald Trump has Coronavirus. I don’t like Trump, I don’t wish him death though. I just don’t want him to be the president anymore.... I hope people wake up and realize this charlatan has lead you off a cliff.
