This was a chance to show my love for the show Madmen. In that middle panel you can spot my versions of Peggy Olson, Don Draper and Roger Sterling.

Alec Baldwin Hosts SNL, I draw pictures

Last night I tried an experiment of watching SNL and drawing little panels on index cards while watching it. Here's the results:


The opening skit parodied GOP debates, and the monologue was basically about how Alec Baldwin is breaking the record of most times hosting SNL. Steve Martin and Seth Rogen made guest appearances in the monologue.
 

The first skit (I think there was a fake commercial I missed) was a take on As the World Turns or some soap opera that is ending. Then there was a skit about an oblivious/botoxed reporter played by Kristen Wiig.


Alec Baldwin as Tony Bennett reviewing movies on Weekend Update was pretty funny I thought, but the rest of WU was not as strong as sometimes.



 I missed a skit called "Who's on Top?" a game show about who would be on top if certain celebrities had gay sex, and I also didn't get a drawing done for the Top Gun DVD where everyone got to do their impressions. I think Bill Hader as Alan Alda is one of my favorite of those. Surprisingly the last two skits of the night where actually kind of funny.  One about Alec Baldwin on a date where his daughter is trying to get his attention and the other about soldiers dying and making improper last requests.

Overall I thought it was  pretty good premiere, and maybe will do the same thing again next week or with other tv shows.  If you want to see blurry photos as I draw them next week, check my twitter at http://twitter.com/awesomeyoder

Now the rest of the story will just feature the sexy nurse ... just kidding.

I was really happy with the drawing in the bottom left panel, that turned out pretty much exactly how I envisioned it.

SPX 2011 Review and such

I guess that was bound to happen at some point, carrying comics around in a Dos Equis box.  Sorry, if you went to SPX and I looked like this:

 

 This was all the stuff I got at SPX or everything that would fit in a picture taken by my cell phone:

I had a really great time this year, got to see a lot of people.  It was sad to hear about Dylan Williams and it did seem like some people I think of as SPX regulars weren't there but other than that it was a really good show.

I'm going to try to start posting more regularly again.  Starting tomorrow I will be posting the rest of Mr. Ryland and Mr. Yoder.

SPX! and Free Comic!

I finally finished Giant Naked Baby and will have it at SPX next week (September 10th and 11th) in Bethesda, Maryland.

I am offering a free copy of this comic to the first five people to email me at denverjacob at yahoo dot com with the comic that this cover is "inspired" by.  Thanks, and hope to see you at SPX.
