Killing Boredom 16: Lord of the Hats
By Mario Armando González on February 7th, 2010Posted In: News
Greetings everybody!
Just two quick reminders before our usuals: THIS and a reminder that the story of Chapter 16 was based on a story as told by Charlito and Mr. Phil from the Indie Spinner Rack podcast, on THIS episode (the story starts at minute 3:20).
Now:
The Meek: Not that it needs any extra promotion by now, but if by any chance you don’t know this comic yet , go read it, love it. It’s a really great told and drwan strory and it has the extra of having a really great person behind it producing it.
It’s just…

And this is one of the many reasons I love 4 Player Podcast
That’s it for now. This coming week Chapter 17 starts, adn this one has been a fun one to do since, so far, I been ahving NO idea of what it’s going to be about, so stay tuned!

That’s right ladies and gentlemen!
Once again, before the updates of this chapter were over, the printed book is out for sale!
Sorry for being kinda late with this one, a lot of stuff got in the way and lat week only the Spanish version was available, but now it’s ready for everybody!
And remember, you can always choose another one of the comics and TPB available in the rest of the catalogue.
Hope you enjoy it!

Greetings humans!
No big news this week, Issue 16 is available now, but only in Spanish, that’s why I didn’t announce it before untill both editions are up, hopefully this week I’ll post when it’s there (I still don’t know why they only uploaded one, tho).
Anyway, up to our Sunday business:
Comic Geek Speak: If you work (or used to work) at a comic book store or you are frequent to one, you’ll feel right at home with this guys, it’s a podcast that reminds you of those long fun conversations you have about comics with a good group of friends. And if you ahve drifted from the joy of comics, or are new to the medium, this guys will make you excited about going to the store again. What do this guys ahve to do with speed? Well, they pump out 5 podcasts a week, plus, their regular spin off shows.
This always cracks me up. From the fastests man in hte business.
Stan Sakai sketching Usagi. Man, I wish I could have that precision and while being that fast.
You know how it works! See you during the whole week!

It’s that time again!
I had a little review of this week to start of this post, but never mind, the week has been so awful it’ll look like I’m just whinning for no reason, and we’re here to make you guys have nice time.
Anyway, for this week:
Golden Age Comic Book Stories: Ok, so the whole site is an amazing bowl of candy, it has really curious, interesting stuff related to comics from the golden age (kinda self-explanatory from the title, huh?) but not only that, it also has those old time painted movie posters, old toys, and hey, it even has a post of paintings and illustrations of Gustav Klimt, I’m not really a fan of his paintings, but the black and white illustrations are great! It has a wide range of variety from old time stuff, especially (excuse my while I turn once again into my alter-ego, Captain Obvious), comic books. This website is a must, trust me.
And if you’re kinda doubtful, just check this Windsor McCay illustration:
And to bring you to the present, with a guy that draws like one of this great old masters, here’s a clip from a Tony Millionare cartoon:
Aaaand there you go! See you again next week for more Killing Boredom and all week for more Wyliman!

Hey hey hey!
It’s finally here, Issue 16 is now COMPLETE! (well… almost, I’m still missing the credits page, but, I’m working on it right now), so it should be goint to the printer tomorrow and hopefully, like last time, it’ll be available for sale during the next week. SO STAY TUNED!
Anyway, here’s the cover and pin-up fo this issue:
The colors for the cover were provided by Mr. Sean Pendleton, of the Same Apartment fame, and the Pin-up was provided by one of my favorite cartoonists, Mr. Waldemar Lene Chaves.
Something I did not tell you so far is that this particular story is not from my own inspiration or soemthing that happened to me, it’s an adaptation (used with permission) by a story told at the Indie Spinner Rack podcast by Charlito and Mr. Phil. Since I heard that story on the show I knew it had to be a Wyliman story, it fits perfectly in their world.

PS: Life still doesn’t give me a break, by the way.
