Edmund Kearsley (00:21):
Hello. Welcome everyone to let’s make a comic book. Uh, my name’s Ed Kiley and this is my crazy idea for a show that we’ve, uh, got it all together and we’ve got some guests. Um, so what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna be making a comic book one panel at a time with a different cartoonist for each panel. So every panel will have a different cartoonist than the last one. And, uh, at the end we should have some very interesting looking book and we’ll see what happens. So, um, let’s introduce to the guest. We’ve got Peter Wilson here, and there’s

Peter Wilson (01:11):
Hello guys.

Edmund Kearsley (01:13):
Peter’s information at the bottom and we’ve got Desant Silver. Aye.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:21):
Oh, I made that wrong.

Edmund Kearsley (01:22):
<laugh>. <laugh>. You can see both now.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:26):
<laugh>. Sorry, I stuffed it up already. <laugh>

Peter Wilson (01:33):
Wrap it. Start over guys.

Edmund Kearsley (01:36):
Okay. Um, we got, uh, on the ones and twos as well, and he’s, uh, vanished to the shadow. Um, so you can’t see him at the moment. <laugh>. So we’ve got, um, two guests. So we’re gonna do a page per episode. So we’re gonna have two panels in this, uh, this first episode. And so we’re going to choose who goes first. If you can, um, put me onto full screen there. Says, yep. Something to show you guys.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (02:07):
Oh, hang on, <laugh>, I’ve gotta go to two different places and,

Edmund Kearsley (02:15):
All right, so this is a Batman comic book. This was, uh, uh, the first Batman comic book that I ever got back in. I think it was 1990. And this, it’s the first X-Men book I ever bought. So we’re gonna get, um, oh, cool, Peter, to choose which one would you choose?

Peter Wilson (02:42):
I’ve gotta go Batman ’cause I love that arc. That was one of my first comics too. So, lonely place of dying for sure.

Edmund Kearsley (02:50):
Okay. And Peter is number two. <laugh>. We’re gonna go to, I show you guys the, these are the panel layouts that we’re gonna be choosing from. And oh, we got haw. You pick a finger for 1, 2, 3, or four

Peter Wilson (03:21):
<laugh>. This is great.

Edmund Kearsley (03:22):
So 1, 2, 3 or four. I

Dushan Silva (03:25):
Go with three.

Edmund Kearsley (03:27):
Three

Peter Wilson (03:29):
Classic <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (03:32):
So that is layout three.

Dushan Silva (03:35):
Layout three

Edmund Kearsley (03:38):
Is the, the two long ones.

Dushan Silva (03:40):
Two

Edmund Kearsley (03:41):
Long. You guys get them ready. And then, and Dasha was first, wasn’t he? Is that what happened?

Peter Wilson (03:47):
That’s right.

Dushan Silva (03:47):
Yep. Yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (03:49):
So we’ll get, you could go back to the, to the normal one. Now is si

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:02):
Can, we’re getting a few comments here. Oh, sorry. Yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (04:05):
If you wanna read out the comments there. Si.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:08):
Yep. Um, this one from Nathan Judd. This is for, uh, I believe Dhan. No nips. You told <laugh> <laugh>

Dushan Silva (04:18):
With Piercings. <laugh>.

Peter Wilson (04:21):
We’ll find a way

Dushan Silva (04:22):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:27):
And, uh, we’ve got Kerry Harris is looking forward to the show. Hi, all.

Peter Wilson (04:32):
Thanks

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:32):
Gary. That’s a nice one for all of us. And Nick, quick is anticipation is me

Peter Wilson (04:38):
<laugh>,

Dushan Silva (04:39):
So,

Edmund Kearsley (04:41):
So we’re gonna let Dehaun get some drawing done and we’ll, we’ll have a chat with Pete.

Peter Wilson (04:47):
Awesome.

Edmund Kearsley (04:51):
And I’m gonna try and set a time I, no, actually

Dushan Silva (04:59):
Make a stopwatch.

Edmund Kearsley (05:01):
All right, Pete, you do, uh, comic book called Foes.

Peter Wilson (05:08):
Yes, that’s right.

Edmund Kearsley (05:09):
Which is it’s, uh, a devil and an alien guy fighting over the, trying to take over the earth.

Peter Wilson (05:21):
That’s right. It’s the, the rivalry of two evil, but also stupid monsters. <laugh>. I’m currently working on the expanded issue one, which I’m hoping to launch soon. I’m just adding in a bunch of extra pages of fights and fun. I’ve been really enjoying drawing that and expanding on some of the sequences and editing some old little areas that when it first printed in Comex presents sort of George Lucas in the hell out of that

Dushan Silva (05:50):
<laugh>.

Peter Wilson (05:51):
And it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve written issue two, so I’m gonna jump straight into that once it’s done.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:59):
Nice.

Edmund Kearsley (06:00):
It’s always the, um, like the, the, the temptation to go back and redraw stuff that you, it’s drawn before as you get better.

Peter Wilson (06:11):
Really trying to find a happy medium between just redrawing the whole thing, <laugh> <laugh> and just keeping it to continuity, mistakes and, and uh, fixing up errors like perspectives and pacing. And that was the big one, the pacing. I wasn’t too good at working with just eight pages when I did, um, issue one in particular. So some of the pages have about 2000 panels and just enough dialogue to fill the New Testament. And then some pages, three panels, bang, bang, bang. So it’s nice to be able to even it all out.

Edmund Kearsley (06:46):
Cool. Was that first eight pages from the, the presents the comics presents? Yeah. Is that where it started?

Peter Wilson (06:53):
That’s right. Yeah. It’ll collect the story from the first four issues of presents with about five extra pages of whole new material.

Edmund Kearsley (07:07):
Yeah, I’ve been wanting to do one of those for the final Dragon story.

Peter Wilson (07:11):
Oh yeah, that’d be cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:13):
That’d be awesome.

Edmund Kearsley (07:16):
Just

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:16):
Got a phone. So we’ve got, oh, sorry, I was just, I don’t know when to jump in. I dunno when to jump in. <laugh>, uh, we’ve got, uh, Robbie Ki Robbie Kiley, um, looking forward to the shenanigans, I’m guessing <affirmative> relation.

Edmund Kearsley (07:32):
That is my wife.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:34):
Your wife. Okay. Well that’s not, not quite relation. Um, <laugh> and Dave DOIs says, good evening everyone.

Peter Wilson (07:42):
Hey Dave.

Edmund Kearsley (07:43):
Hello, Robbie and Dave.

Peter Wilson (07:47):
Hi, Mrs. Ed.

Edmund Kearsley (07:49):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:50):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (07:54):
So dha, how you going with the, with the drawing there?

Dushan Silva (07:58):
So I saw this, um, eyeball with the eye, um, wings. So I got, so I was thinking of that creature to be the, the villain, like a, not a villain, like a, that’s going to, um, creature that’s going to attack blank. So I’m drawing that and then I’m having the arms burst out of the eyeballs.

Edmund Kearsley (08:30):
Oh, cool.

Dushan Silva (08:32):
Um, so yeah, that’s my idea. Eyeballs gonna be, uh, some three to five for blank.

Peter Wilson (08:54):
I’m interested to see how blank looks, because you’re really good at anatomy, Deshaun and, you know, sexy buff people. Yeah. You a robot. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:02):
<laugh>.

Dushan Silva (09:03):
No, I, I was going to like, I was like drawing, um, some design. I was thinking of, uh, making him look like more Iron Man look like <laugh> <laugh>. Then I figured out I should stick to the normal design. Uh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:25):
And Peter, you’ve been corrected here. Um, no, ed is Mr. Robbie.

Edmund Kearsley (09:30):
That’s true. So

Peter Wilson (09:31):
<laugh> apologies.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:35):
And Bergen robot is in here saying, that’s funny. I might be referring to that comment. I don’t know.

Peter Wilson (09:41):
I’m, that’s the patriarchy. I’m trying to overcome that brainwashing. I’m sorry. <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (09:45):
<laugh>.

Peter Wilson (09:48):
I’ll, I’ll do better.

Edmund Kearsley (09:54):
So Pete, when you’re doing a, like a, a layout for a page, what’s the sort of things that you think of? Um, if you’re doing a, like a, like a two panel page like this with the two long vertical panels?

Peter Wilson (10:10):
Yeah. Two panels, usually I would reserve that for an action thing. You can use a two panel page to create a nice contrast. Um, I like to do that sort of thing, like when a carrier’s character’s reacting to something so they’re before and after, because it’s always fun to have those. That’s always amusing to me to have the two different emotions side by side or a very quick change, um, to really get the action moving. But it’s, this is whole new different ballgame. ’cause I have no idea what your child’s gonna throw at me <laugh>.

Dushan Silva (10:47):
So,

Peter Wilson (10:48):
Um, this is a challenge

Dushan Silva (10:51):
I sort of done with the layout.

Edmund Kearsley (10:53):
Oh, let’s have a look and bring it ups.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (10:57):
Yep. Okay. Uh, I’m trying to remember which layout it is.

Edmund Kearsley (11:06):
We forgot to show everyone else

Peter Wilson (11:08):
What

Edmund Kearsley (11:08):
The, the first page was.

Peter Wilson (11:13):
Oh, cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (11:14):
Yeah. Oh yeah. Cool.

Edmund Kearsley (11:16):
So zoomed in. We should, um, show the first page. Actually

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (11:26):
Zoom on you. Ed, can you show

Edmund Kearsley (11:26):
It? Yeah, yeah. Put me onto full screen.

Peter Wilson (11:30):
That’s good. That’s giving me ideas. That’s cool. I can work with that. We work well together. Dhan.

Dushan Silva (11:35):
Yeah, <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (11:38):
All right. So this is the page that I did. I should have shown you this at the start before I set the, the guys off to drawing. But let’s have a look. So this is Greetings fellow Sentient Bings. If you have a spare time unit, I’d like to tell you a story, a story about a little robot with a big case of robo amnesia. Excuse me. This little robot couldn’t remember where it was from or what its mission was. The only thing I could remember was its name. Hello. I am blank. To listen up as we find out what happened. The little robot with the big case of Robo Amnesia, a robot named Blank. So that is, that’s the first page. And you see that’s what, uh, deShar was drawing.

Peter Wilson (12:28):
Was there a particular inspiration for blank?

Edmund Kearsley (12:33):
Uh, I wanted it to be, uh, an easy character to draw. If you wanna go back to the

Peter Wilson (12:39):
Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (12:40):
The normal thing. This is, so it’s like a nice and basic kind of design that would be easy for everyone to draw.

Peter Wilson (12:48):
That’s good thinking

Edmund Kearsley (12:50):
Is the idea

Peter Wilson (12:52):
That’s practical.

Edmund Kearsley (12:54):
Have we lost s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (12:58):
Do want me to boost into you again?

Edmund Kearsley (12:58):
Oh, there we go. No, it’s all right. Um, yeah, so you, Pete, you’ve, you’ve started drawing now. Expect

Peter Wilson (13:07):
If that’s okay.

Edmund Kearsley (13:08):
Yep,

Peter Wilson (13:09):
Yep. That’s great. I have, yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:11):
That has worked. Awesome.

Edmund Kearsley (13:16):
So we’ve gotta remember for next episode to show everyone what the, the previous cartoonist did.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:28):
Hmm. Just to throw a question out there, will they need to see more than just the previous panel? Um, you know, are we assuming they’re watching? I’m just curious. Sorry. I dunno if this is where I should be throwing the questions out or I should be doing this after the show.

Peter Wilson (13:44):
Do you mean from show to show? Si.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:47):
Yeah, show to show. Like, um, if they haven’t been watching the show, they won’t know what the first one was.

Edmund Kearsley (13:54):
I don’t know. But there was a Okay.

Peter Wilson (13:56):
For the audience. I think it’s the ness of it would be Okay.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:01):
Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (14:03):
I thought you were talking about the cartoonist.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:06):
Oh, no, no, no, I meant, yeah, for the cartoonists for um, them to make it a more coherent story,

Edmund Kearsley (14:14):
There was a book that was made like this called, uh, narrative Corpse. And they had, um, the same idea, but they only got the, to see the panel before they didn’t get to see anything else.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:29):
Oh, okay. Yep. Well you go page before, that’s all they see. Awesome. Yeah, that works.

Peter Wilson (14:36):
Sick.

Edmund Kearsley (14:44):
And we’ve got a comment from a Facebook user.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:47):
Yeah, I just saw that.

Edmund Kearsley (14:48):
Oh, hi Sly gang. So hello Facebook.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:51):
User Sizzle and Gang. Thank you. Facebook user.

Edmund Kearsley (14:55):
Where’re the Gang.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:57):
You, you’re my gang. Awesome. What mischief can we get up to? <laugh>? Uh, just so

Edmund Kearsley (15:09):
Han you, you go,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (15:12):
Oh, I was gonna say, I was gonna show those banners again. I stuffed them up in the first round. So we’re talking to Han, so we’ll put his up first.

Edmund Kearsley (15:20):
There you go. Uh, you’ve got a, a comic book. It’s Lisa Ray.

Dushan Silva (15:25):
That’s right. Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (15:28):
Can you tell us what that’s about?

Dushan Silva (15:30):
So it’s basically, uh, immortal Mutant, um, she gets framed for her stepmother’s murder and gets executed and that executed by electric chair. So that, um, sort of, uh, triggers her powers. And then afterwards she comes back to life and then she gets recruited by this government, a counter-terrorist unit that’s fighting against this, uh, evil mutant group who is sort of responsible for licensees creation. So it’s basically, that’s sort of like the story. So I have done two issues and currently working on the third one. Excellent. So the third one’s going to be like the big finale for this arc. So it’s like 1, 2, 3, and then it closes the arc and then starts a new arc after that. Like in issue four. And these, uh, library issues, like I’ve been working on them for like 20 years. You, you say that’s like three versions of issue. One, two versions. Mm-Hmm. Of issue two and two versions of issue three. This is like, issue three is I’m redrawing it. So it’s like after that it’s done. That’s final and I’m moving on to issue four.

Edmund Kearsley (17:17):
That

Peter Wilson (17:17):
Makes me feel a bit better about just having one version and then another version of First

Edmund Kearsley (17:22):
<laugh>. I’ve done the same thing with my nineties, uh, comic books. That’s true. You have Yeah. Yeah. The different versions.

Dushan Silva (17:35):
How, what are you working on? Yeah. You always see it and you say, okay, I could you become better. And then now, and probably after another 10 years, I would all

Peter Wilson (17:50):
What are you working on at the moment, ed?

Edmund Kearsley (17:52):
I’ve got my, uh, the Manels from Earth Book is coming out soon.

Peter Wilson (17:57):
Oh, great.

Edmund Kearsley (17:59):
Cool. It’s a little square format. Little book. They’ve been, um, posting them on No, the social medias and the first issue’s done 16 pages.

Dushan Silva (18:13):
Oh, cool.

Peter Wilson (18:14):
Definitely follow Ed’s. Patreon. Anyone who’s listening and doesn’t, it’s

Edmund Kearsley (18:19):
Really cool. Uh, my, my paton’s at, at Ed Kiley, it’s the same as me. Instagram.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (18:26):
I forgot to set one up for you, ed. Sorry.

Edmund Kearsley (18:29):
You’re fine. Says get out

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (18:31):
<laugh>. I’m fine. That’s it. I’m out. Okay. I mute.

Edmund Kearsley (18:34):
Take your stuff in <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (18:38):
Well, before I do, I’ll say good evening to Peter Lane who just said good evening to us.

Edmund Kearsley (18:43):
So Good evening, Peter Lane. So Pete, you said you had that, um, that Batman issue. The only place of dying?

Peter Wilson (18:55):
Yeah. Yeah. I earned many Batman and that’s one of my favourites.

Dushan Silva (19:00):
Mm. I have it too.

Edmund Kearsley (19:02):
Yeah. Nice. <laugh>. Did you guys get them off the stand or did you get them later?

Peter Wilson (19:08):
Um, later I got mine on, I think it was when I first decided I wanted to get Batman. It was kind of two or three back issues from the, my local comic book store whenever I could. And then I discovered eBay and someone was selling a lot of a hundred for 50 bucks. That’s nice. And that included heaps like nightfall. Uh, had mad love in there. I didn’t realise what a bargain I had till I really looked into it. But, um,

Dushan Silva (19:34):
You, you remember the, uh, Kelly Jones Backman, right?

Peter Wilson (19:38):
Yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (19:39):
I remember the covers, yeah. At the nightfall. Yeah,

Dushan Silva (19:42):
I sort of, I had like a couple of issues and then I wanted to do the finish off the collection. So went on eBay and got the entire run. It’s like 53 issues.

Peter Wilson (20:03):
It’s,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:04):
Um, sorry. Oh, I was just gonna say, um, yeah, Bergen Robot’s given me a bit of a speech. <laugh>, uh oh. Yes. Uh, Peter and Duanne and future guests all working digitally. Um, it’d be cool if we cut to what they’re drawing, showing the process every now and then. That was the plan. Um, Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> not, not if it’s too hard though. I’m not the boss of you. Yes. You’re not the boss of me. Broken Robot <laugh> and neither are you the boss of Ed. But Ed is the boss of me, so I will do what Ed says.

Peter Wilson (20:36):
I see where you, I know where you’re coming from, dude.

Edmund Kearsley (20:41):
Um, we can have another look at Deshawn’s.

Peter Wilson (20:44):
Oh, I can give you a preview of my pencil wraps in just a second. I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:47):
Oh, okay.

Edmund Kearsley (20:49):
Let’s bring up DI

Dushan Silva (20:50):
The inking.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:51):
Yep. And I did that without getting rid of that first. There we go.

Edmund Kearsley (21:00):
Oh, that’s looking good. Those arms are cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:03):
Yeah. Very cool.

Edmund Kearsley (21:05):
So Han, are you gonna have, do you want any words on your panel?

Dushan Silva (21:09):
Uh, I haven’t thought about it, but

Dushan Silva (21:15):
I

Edmund Kearsley (21:15):
Need to look. That’s, have a think about it. And you

Dushan Silva (21:18):
Can think

Edmund Kearsley (21:19):
You can come back to that later, but it’s looking good.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:30):
I love how they’re sort of exploding out of the eye. That’s so cool. Yeah.

Dushan Silva (21:37):
Some blood

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (21:40):
<laugh>. Nice.

Edmund Kearsley (21:41):
That’s always cool. <laugh>. I like how he’s used the, the tower as well from the, from my page.

Dushan Silva (21:49):
That’s right. Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (21:52):
Tying it in. It’s good stuff.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:06):
This,

Dushan Silva (22:11):
Oh, before I do anything, I should save it.

Peter Wilson (22:15):
Yes. Yes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:17):
It’s always good. <laugh> Ben Sullivan is saying. Looking good guys.

Peter Wilson (22:22):
Thanks Ben. Thanks, Ben. High praise coming from that man.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:26):
And he’s only saying that because he can’t see me.

Dushan Silva (22:28):
Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (22:29):
<laugh>. <laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:33):
Because I’m not looking good.

Peter Wilson (22:35):
Come on. Says

Edmund Kearsley (22:37):
That’s a lie

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:37):
For about a decade. Not, not for about a decade. <laugh>.

Peter Wilson (22:42):
I’ve got something to show. It’s my rough.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:45):
I don’t have to. Yep. I will see if I can figure this out. Um, I press this one and I swap who’s in the box?

Peter Wilson (22:56):
Can you guys make that out?

Dushan Silva (22:59):
Oh, cool.

Peter Wilson (23:01):
I will. Is that Paul? Little blanks trying to figure out what’s up.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:08):
Nice. Excellent. Oh, little question mark. I love it.

Peter Wilson (23:12):
I was trying to do like the Mac loading screen type icon, the kick with, ’cause nobody does nineties and eighties style better than Ed, except for maybe the guys who were published in the eighties and nineties. <laugh>, I’m a big fan of Ed’s back stuff.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:33):
Thank

Edmund Kearsley (23:34):
You.

Peter Wilson (23:38):
Let’s finesse it.

Edmund Kearsley (23:41):
So that’s good that it’s, that’s really interesting How So Deshawn’s taken that thing. Yeah, those elements from my, um, first panel put it in, and then Pete’s following on. So we’ll see what happens with the, with the future guests in the, in the upcoming episodes.

Peter Wilson (24:01):
I was excited because Deshawn and I have such strong contrasting styles. I thought whatever happens on the page, it’ll at least look really interesting without two pieces together.

Dushan Silva (24:14):
That’s a cool idea to do this. Pretty fun. Yeah, I love it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:21):
It’s awesome. Just like Ed

Peter Wilson (24:24):
<laugh> man. He is the boss.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:29):
Yeah, he is. He is my boss. All these least for the next hour. <laugh>

Peter Wilson (24:34):
<laugh>. As soon as the cameras go off, listen here a little punk <laugh>. I’m

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:46):
Oh dear.

Edmund Kearsley (24:48):
DeShar, when did you first start, uh, collecting or reading comics?

Dushan Silva (24:54):
Probably when I was guess I would say 10 years.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:02):
Oh,

Dushan Silva (25:02):
10. I probably can’t remember, but like,

Dushan Silva (25:07):
I

Dushan Silva (25:07):
Had my first comic post, like a tall and a X-Men book, like my uncle gave them to me. And then we used to go to these, um, secondhand comic bookshops. Uh, they used to sell these comics, like used, like you could get like stacks and stacks of them. It’s like, and then, um, uh, after that I started buying, I had a actual, like my, I actually subscribed when Batman Hash came out. Oh wow. I actually did a subscription for that, um, the, uh, for those 12 issues.

(26:05)
And for some reason the first they got the address wrong and they didn’t send the first two or three issues. So I I, I wrote them back and said, I haven’t got them. And I showed them the address and they said, oh, we managed to screw up the address. And so they resend those issues again. But like after a couple of months later, those, the first tissues that they sent came back, also returned, came to because um, the people that got them, uh, for some reason they returned to the post office and post office sent it back to me. So I got like two copies of each.

Edmund Kearsley (26:58):
Nice. Sweet. Was that through DC?

Dushan Silva (27:00):
Yeah, that’s true. Easy.

Edmund Kearsley (27:03):
Yeah. I’ve never known anyone that’s, that actually had a subscription because you always stayed. That’s

Dushan Silva (27:08):
After, after that TII didn’t renew my subscription and then <laugh> both normal comics.

Edmund Kearsley (27:16):
It was always a dream in like the eighties and nineties to get a subscription. But

Dushan Silva (27:21):
<laugh>, I

Peter Wilson (27:22):
Had bunch a mad magazine.

Edmund Kearsley (27:24):
Oh wow. I love that Mad magazine

Peter Wilson (27:27):
That took a lot of guilting and

Edmund Kearsley (27:30):
<laugh>

Peter Wilson (27:31):
<laugh>, but also where I discovered the likes of Jason Paul and Hair Butt. So that was pretty sick

Edmund Kearsley (27:38):
And

Peter Wilson (27:39):
That meant a lot when I finally met him at Supernova and told him and he just nodded and said, sick dude. And walked off <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:59):
Say, I have

Peter Wilson (27:59):
To More excited to meet deShar.

Dushan Silva (28:01):
Mm-Hmm.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:01):
<affirmative>. Ah.

Peter Wilson (28:04):
Which I totally, how

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:05):
We all, that’s my favourite part of Sydney <laugh>. My favourites here. My only favourite is Ed Ed’s the boss. <laugh>.

Peter Wilson (28:22):
Oh, I guess that’s fair.

Edmund Kearsley (28:23):
That’s correct.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:24):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (28:29):
But Pete, you’re drawing in traditional pencil and paper.

Peter Wilson (28:35):
Yeah, that’s how I always start. I can’t start digital. It’s a real, it’s just a weird mental block. I have. I will finish this one digitally, if not tonight, over the week,

Dushan Silva (28:45):
But oh, I could have usually do it paper, pencil, but to, for the, to share the screen and all that. It’ll be convenient to do it on. That’s why I did it on digital.

Edmund Kearsley (29:01):
But I used to do it like that. But uh,

Dushan Silva (29:04):
Just usually I just do the pencils and scan it in and do the inking on, um, the Photoshop or, uh, there’s a, uh, I think they don’t, they don’t use it anymore. The soft, uh, soft pack called Manga Studio.

Edmund Kearsley (29:23):
Oh yeah, I’ve got that. It’s called Clip Studio Paint now.

Dushan Silva (29:25):
Now it’s Clip Studio. Yeah, that’s, that’s one.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (29:29):
Oh, okay.

Dushan Silva (29:30):
Uh, I use the manga studio. This is like old version maybe, so six, seven years old.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (29:40):
Oh wow.

Dushan Silva (29:41):
We still used it. I’ve

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (29:41):
Gotta ask Han, do you have an A two printer? Are you drawing a two? Do you have an A two printer?

Dushan Silva (29:50):
No. So no, I have a four scanner, so I have to scan bits of a two. Oh no, put it all together in <laugh>. Photoshop.

Edmund Kearsley (30:04):
Do you just show the, show the audience the big page that you were draw you showed us before.

Dushan Silva (30:10):
It’s, uh, Ryan lost battery hand page.

Edmund Kearsley (30:16):
It’s like, uh, four times bigger than you do it again.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:23):
Wow. I can’t imagine scanning it in then getting it perfectly put together.

Dushan Silva (30:34):
It’s sort of easy when you’re doing panels, but like one big drawing, it’s pretty hard.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:43):
Mm, I can imagine.

Peter Wilson (30:46):
Which, which villain did you get?

Dushan Silva (30:49):
I got the gutter dough.

Peter Wilson (30:52):
Good choice

Edmund Kearsley (30:53):
Gutter dough. Which one did you get? P,

Peter Wilson (30:56):
Iron baby <laugh>. <laugh>. I knew I could draw a baby better than the others, so I went with that.

Dushan Silva (31:07):
Should do some draw something.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:15):
Who’s it? Who famously drew babies as, um, adults? Um, their faces. The bodies of babies and adult faces. I’m trying to remember who that is. Scarlet Witch’s children.

Edmund Kearsley (31:28):
They, John Byrne.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:30):
Ah, yeah. That’s him. I love those. They crack me up.

Edmund Kearsley (31:34):
<laugh>. Yeah. Babies are hard to draw. I had to draw a baby for

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:38):
I can imagine. Yeah. Faces are hard enough to draw like to, to get down an adult

Dushan Silva (31:48):
Can’t do. Cute. So definitely.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:53):
Yeah. You need an angry baby. Yeah. That’s easy to draw. <laugh>.

Peter Wilson (31:58):
I, I like they’re just all circles. Just circles and ovals. Makes off a baby. It’s all that chu. That’s what I found. <laugh>. So Johann hiney those hard angles.

Dushan Silva (32:09):
Yeah.

Peter Wilson (32:11):
That lean muscles

Dushan Silva (32:12):
Like a demon baby.

Peter Wilson (32:14):
Yeah. <laugh>. That sounds like a good villain. Draw that

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:18):
<laugh>

Peter Wilson (32:20):
Might look like.

Dushan Silva (32:20):
Ous <laugh>.

Peter Wilson (32:25):
Both Ed and Han have drawn sick trading card designs for foes.

Edmund Kearsley (32:31):
Oh yes. The, yeah, the Kickstarter.

Peter Wilson (32:33):
It looks so good.

Dushan Silva (32:35):
Needs the Kickstarter out?

Peter Wilson (32:39):
That’s a great question. <laugh> <laugh>.

Dushan Silva (32:43):
Um,

Peter Wilson (32:44):
At the moment I just, I luckily, I think I’m

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:46):
Holding it

Peter Wilson (32:47):
Up. I brought myself a lot of time by remembering that the next Comex should probably go out first. Comex presents. Sos and I are working on that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:03):
We’ve gotta get that sorted.

Peter Wilson (33:05):
We’ll get there. We always do <laugh>.

Dushan Silva (33:23):
Ooh. Sweet.

Dushan Silva (33:27):

Peter Wilson (34:18):
Oh, you Mr. A popular over

Dushan Silva (34:19):

Peter Wilson (34:24):
What’s, what’s the worst comment you guys have ever read?

Dushan Silva (34:28):
Worst comic

Peter Wilson (34:28):
Comment. What? Is there one so bad you haven’t even finished it.

Dushan Silva (34:34):
You know that Kevin Smith, uh, did that Batman?

Peter Wilson (34:38):
The um, the widening Gyre

Dushan Silva (34:39):
Winding. Yeah. That was shocking. I didn’t mind the <laugh>. He didn’t mind the story, but like the art was cracked

Peter Wilson (34:46):
On that. And I love Kevin Smith.

Dushan Silva (34:49):
That was his, the art

Dushan Silva (34:51):
Was, uh, the main issue for me with that dish.

Peter Wilson (34:55):
Yeah. Not the fact that Batman pissed himself.

Dushan Silva (34:57):
Yeah. I didn’t mind

Dushan Silva (35:00):
<laugh>

Peter Wilson (35:01):
That that was serious.

Dushan Silva (35:04):
I downgraded

Dushan Silva (35:05):
Him. Indeed. Like Yeah.

Peter Wilson (35:07):
So Comfort someone Batman confesses in year one on his first mission out confronting the mafia. Yeah. He pissed himself in fear.

Dushan Silva (35:17):
Oh my goodness.

Peter Wilson (35:18):
And he wondered why it didn’t go over well,

Dushan Silva (35:21):
<laugh>,

Peter Wilson (35:25):
I got to that panel and went, well that’s that for me for a while. Yeah.

Dushan Silva (35:27):
That’s it. <laugh>

Peter Wilson (35:29):
<laugh>. Excellent choice. Yeah. That’s an awful comic.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:32):
Yeah. What was he thinking?

Dushan Silva (35:33):
Wow.

Peter Wilson (35:34):
Bad. His green Arrow stuff. Incredible

Dushan Silva (35:37):
<inaudible>. Yeah. That was really good.

Peter Wilson (35:39):
Quiver. That story arc real good.

Dushan Silva (35:41):
Mm.

Peter Wilson (35:44):
That ties in stuff from Sandman and all sorts of law.

Dushan Silva (35:49):
He did some <inaudible>, right?

Peter Wilson (35:52):
He that Yeah. Quite a bit. Yeah. Helped write the movie too from Oh

Dushan Silva (35:56):
Yeah.

Peter Wilson (36:01):
Okay. I finished.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:01):
Hello Legends. Oh, sorry. Hang on. I’ll bring that up.

Edmund Kearsley (36:06):
Oh, that’s okay. I’ll,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:11):
I’ll just do this

Edmund Kearsley (36:12):
Screen. Oh

Peter Wilson (36:14):
Cool. There we go.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:17):
Oh, cool.

Peter Wilson (36:20):
I might add more of an iris there.

Edmund Kearsley (36:25):
That’s looking good. Let’s have a look at Hansman.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:31):
Oh, Desant. Okay. Hang on. Uh,

Peter Wilson (36:33):
I’m gonna do more finessed version.

Edmund Kearsley (36:37):
Oh, look at that.

Peter Wilson (36:40):
Ah, it’s sick. Wicked. I love the contrast between the detail and the eyeball. And Paul, little simple blank there. Mm-Hmm.

Dushan Silva (36:46):
<laugh> <laugh>. It’s cute. Thanks.

Edmund Kearsley (36:50):
Just, are you gonna have the, the wings breaking the panel?

Dushan Silva (36:54):
I was thinking about Yeah, that’s what I wanted to do.

Edmund Kearsley (36:57):
Yeah, it looks cool. You don’t need to erase that. ’cause that’ll be the,

Dushan Silva (37:01):
It’s going to get cut off.

Edmund Kearsley (37:03):
Yeah, that’s the, the trim. Whatchamacallit. And if you see it’s got the, the measurements on there, that’s for if we get someone who’s drawing traditional and can’t print out the ah

Dushan Silva (37:16):
Right. The

Edmund Kearsley (37:17):
Things to draw on so they can just, uh, rule it up on their page,

Peter Wilson (37:21):
Thought of everything

Edmund Kearsley (37:23):
<laugh> and try to Yeah. Think of everything and then, then forget it all soon as the thing goes live as Kay’s watching too.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:35):
Oh. Oh, cool. Why didn’t I see that comment?

Edmund Kearsley (37:38):
That was a, or maybe I, that was a message.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:42):
Oh, okay. <laugh>, I’m going have you,

Edmund Kearsley (37:48):
Me?

Peter Wilson (37:49):
Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (37:49):
Um, I don’t know. There was the, the, the weapon h comic from Marvel a couple years back where it was like the whole co wolverine.

Dushan Silva (38:04):
Ah, yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (38:05):
And it was the most boring comic I’ve ever read.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:09):
Oh wow.

Edmund Kearsley (38:10):
It’s like the, the two craziest rage guys. Yeah. And then they, they thought the, they’d have the, the guy who’s the, the weapon hs like a really, um, cool and collected special forces guy so he doesn’t lose his temper. And then nothing happened for six issues. <laugh>

Peter Wilson (38:32):
<laugh>,

Dushan Silva (38:35):
It had a cool cover that Ed in the, um,

Edmund Kearsley (38:39):
<laugh> the design was really cool. Yeah. It had a, the idea, great idea.

Dushan Silva (38:44):
That’s uh, that’s about it. That was good about that I think.

Edmund Kearsley (38:48):
And spoilers the, they Captain America turns up at like the end of issue six in the trade paperback. And it’s, it’s like that should have been at the end of issue one. Like, so that was a, that was a big disappointment.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:11):
We got Don Teo saying, looking good.

Edmund Kearsley (39:14):
Thanks Don.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:20):
Um, do I say that we’re legends? I forget now I’m losing my mind. I just assume Yeah. From Facebook user. Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (39:34):
Sorry. Uh, and what programme are you using?

Dushan Silva (39:37):
Uh, it’s Photoshop.

Edmund Kearsley (39:39):
Oh, nice.

Dushan Silva (39:40):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:41):
Oh, cool.

Dushan Silva (39:44):
Like usually Photoshop. Uh, I, it’s depends on my, but uh, sort of doesn’t give like very smooth lines, but uh, if you put it into manga studio, flip studio, like it gives more smoother lines than this, but, Hmm. Like being it on that. But we happy with this.

Edmund Kearsley (40:15):
It’s looking good. Looks

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:16):
Cool.

Peter Wilson (40:17):
Did I see correctly Deshaun, you went on a to a convention in Sri Lanka?

Dushan Silva (40:22):
Oh yeah, actually I didn’t go to, uh, so what happened was I went there and I was supposed to come back my, on the 18th of August and they had the convention on the 19th. So they wanted, they invite, they didn’t know I was in Sri Lanka, but they invited me as a guest. Oh wow. Uh, to the show. So That’s very cool. I end up, it was on a Saturday, so after I came back to Sydney, um, we did, like the next day we had the convention, but um, we did it, uh, zoom. We did it from Zoom.

Peter Wilson (41:03):
Oh, right, okay.

Dushan Silva (41:04):
So it’s like a panellist kind of thing. Oh, cool. Talk about, uh, comics because the time I was living there, there wasn’t that much, um, comic book creators there, but now there’s like heaps.

Edmund Kearsley (41:24):
That’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (41:24):
Good. Oh, cool.

Dushan Silva (41:30):
And they’re pretty good as well. Like some of the art, uh, you know, in the <inaudible> issue to the back cover if I have it, uh, uh, the back car was done by, uh, um, artist.

Edmund Kearsley (42:21):
Oops.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:22):
This is nothing like, um, Dave’s portal

Dushan Silva (42:25):
<laugh>. This, this drawing was done by uh, uh, Sri Lanka artist.

Edmund Kearsley (42:31):
Oh, cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:32):
Here, I’ll boost that up so you can show it. Hang on. There you go.

Peter Wilson (42:38):
Nice. Oh, right. That, yeah, that was a cool piece.

Dushan Silva (42:42):
That car.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:45):
Nice.

Edmund Kearsley (42:51):
So how you going Pete?

Peter Wilson (42:52):
I’m doing good. I I do have a question. Mm-Hmm, <affirmative> the background of, can we pull that up?

Edmund Kearsley (43:03):
Um,

Peter Wilson (43:04):
The first splash page there,

Edmund Kearsley (43:07):
Um,

Peter Wilson (43:14):
Am I right in thinking that’s like a post-apocalyptic kind of deal?

Edmund Kearsley (43:18):
Well, I tried to add everything I could think of, like, not that I can think of, but it’s got the, the weird future thing, the post apocalypse.

Peter Wilson (43:29):
Okay.

Edmund Kearsley (43:30):
The little monster fantasy stuff.

Peter Wilson (43:33):
Dragon sort of ruined buildings. Just sort of the outline. I just wanted to make sure that would mesh, but it looks like it’ll, ’cause you really touched all the bases there. That’s rad. <laugh>. Yeah, that would never occur to me. That’s cool.

Edmund Kearsley (43:48):
I was just trying to think of, um, like ideas that would give people like a jumping off point.

Peter Wilson (43:56):
Yeah. No.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:08):
So you’re still on traditional there. Um, Pete.

Peter Wilson (44:12):
Yep. How long are we looking at here? What’s the timeframe for each episode?

Edmund Kearsley (44:20):
Uh, about an hour I suppose.

Peter Wilson (44:23):
Okay. Yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (44:24):
If you just get the pencil in,

Peter Wilson (44:26):
I’ll have that done. Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (44:33):
We’ve got a question from Dave Di there.

Peter Wilson (44:36):
Oh yes.

Edmund Kearsley (44:38):
So it says <crosstalk>. Oh, we’ve got

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:41):
Lots of questions. Yeah. I’ll put this up on the screen actually.

Edmund Kearsley (44:46):
There you go. It’s a little late tuning in. Can you tell us how the comic is being created? Tonight’s process? Is there a script? Who wrote it? How many pages do you expect to finish tonight, et cetera. Okay, so the comic is being created one panel at a time with, um, that’s the one that I did the first page. Page. I’ll bring that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:15):
Cool. <laugh>. We forget that.

Edmund Kearsley (45:20):
And then we’ve got, um, Dian is doing the second panel on, on the next page. So each episode, the amount of guests dictates how many pages, uh, how many panels is on the page. So we do a page in episode and then Pete’s doing, um, there’s Deshawn’s panel is coming with that. And then Pete’s doing the second panel. So it’ll be one panel per, per, per creator each episode. And the amount of creators on the show is how many panels there is, and there is no script. The, the creators are gonna make up their own. Uh, if there’s any dialogue or narration or anything that’s up to them. And then I’m gonna do the lettering after,

Peter Wilson (46:26):
Kind of like the, the old Marvel method.

Dushan Silva (46:29):
Mm-Hmm.

Edmund Kearsley (46:29):
<laugh>. Yeah. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:35):
<laugh>. Oh, I’m no bow. He’s saying how are we all doing? And then he is like, where’s s’s beautiful face? Um, well I turned 30, um, and it just went away.

Edmund Kearsley (46:48):
<laugh> for legal reasons we’re not allowed to show up tonight.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:53):
<laugh>

Peter Wilson (46:54):
Witness protection.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:57):
Uh, dear

Peter Wilson (46:59):
Put the sweet allure of comic sporting out.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:03):
Yes. Had hibernation seclusion, I should say.

Edmund Kearsley (47:09):
We get a look at a Pete’s panel.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:14):
Yep. I will boost up Pete. I keep hearing which one’s which

Peter Wilson (47:21):
Buckled a little. There even more is thinking all nasty things about blank. Dear Old Blank isn’t thinking much at all at the moment. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:33):
<laugh>.

Peter Wilson (47:36):
So I’ll get some marker onto that so it’ll pop up a bit better.

Edmund Kearsley (47:41):
A good contrast to, to Sean’s.

Peter Wilson (47:46):
I was hoping for that.

Edmund Kearsley (47:48):
It’s got a lot of hatching and stuff. Yeah. Pete’s the boss now. Oh no, he is not <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:05):
Can you mean didn’t you mean 70? I’m not quite that old. Bo Thanks <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (48:11):
<laugh>. How long have you been making comics for Pete?

Peter Wilson (48:19):
Um, well, God, good question. I think I did my first one. Crimson and School. Um, I’ve got it here.

Edmund Kearsley (48:31):
<laugh>.

Peter Wilson (48:33):
Yeah. 2016 was the very first draught of that one.

Edmund Kearsley (48:36):
Oh, nice. Oh, it’s a good book. Everyone should buy that.

Peter Wilson (48:41):
Extremely rough. Agreed. But a good first attempt.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:48):
Bloody awesome first attempt. Love that show. I,

Peter Wilson (48:51):
I gotta return to those guys, those characters. I really enjoy them. And a lot of that was,

Dushan Silva (49:01):
I

Peter Wilson (49:02):
Just trying to figure out if I could do it. I just graduated graphic design and there wasn’t much work there. I love comics. Why don’t I just do my own?

Dushan Silva (49:13):
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.

Peter Wilson (49:15):
Uh, it was, I didn’t realise it’d be quite so addictive.

Dushan Silva (49:18):
<laugh> <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (49:20):
It’s good first, first attempt. It looks much more bullish like you’ve been doing it for a long time.

Peter Wilson (49:30):
Uh, it helps that I had a lot of training on those programmes. Illustrator is what I use to draw that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:37):
Oh yeah. I’ve just been told by Dave die that I keep saying that I’m forgetting which is which. He said Pete’s one in glasses. So

Peter Wilson (49:47):
<laugh>.

Dushan Silva (49:48):
<laugh>.

Peter Wilson (49:50):
He’s quite right. <laugh>. He’s not right Peter. Not,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:53):
Not quite what I was mixing up, but thanks Dave. Much appreciated. I was gonna say, just, um, dealing with you guys is addictive. Otherwise actually making the comments, comics, physically yourself. So I can just imagine

Peter Wilson (50:12):
You have to enjoy it ’cause it’s a grind.

Edmund Kearsley (50:15):
Mm. Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:17):
Well, is that too,

Edmund Kearsley (50:21):
You wouldn’t wanna do it?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:27):
Well, I sit here on my pile of millions,

Dushan Silva (50:30):
Millions <laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:33):
Millions of shattered hopes and dreams.

Peter Wilson (50:37):
<laugh> only

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:42):
A million. Not money, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I was gonna say not, not money, ladies and gentlemen. Not money.

Peter Wilson (50:48):
I was about to say, where was that?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:51):
<laugh>

Peter Wilson (50:54):
Gonna

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:54):
Sydney Supernova. <laugh>.

Dushan Silva (51:01):
I could have done the o Comic Corn.

Peter Wilson (51:07):
Yeah.

Dushan Silva (51:10):
Yeah. It’s too expensive. When was

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:13):
Oh, was it more than Supernova? Okay.

Dushan Silva (51:15):
Oh, I mean the one, remember I was talking about the table?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:20):
Oh, yep.

Dushan Silva (51:22):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:27):
The, yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (51:31):
Wednesday.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:31):
I had a lot of fun.

Edmund Kearsley (51:33):
Wednesday I was comic on

Dushan Silva (51:36):
Saturday.

Edmund Kearsley (51:38):
Saturday. And as you are, you guys got a table or you just going to visit?

Dushan Silva (51:46):
No. Yeah,

Peter Wilson (51:48):
I might go and just check it out.

Dushan Silva (51:51):
I was going to, but um, I can’t got to go to the physio to fix my

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:59):
Arm. I want to, but it’s a bit of a drive. I found out <laugh>. Yeah.

Peter Wilson (52:03):
Yeah. I was gonna complain that it’s a hike from my place. And I remembered how far you came.

Dushan Silva (52:07):
<laugh>.

Dushan Silva (52:08):
Yeah. You, you live in Newcastle, so that’s pretty, pretty far too.

Peter Wilson (52:14):
It’s long, but at least it’s straightforward. Just sit on the train for two hours.

Dushan Silva (52:17):
Two hours.

Peter Wilson (52:19):
I don’t have to go interstate. Like s

Dushan Silva (52:22):
10 hours.

Peter Wilson (52:24):
You’re in Victoria, aren’t you, ed?

Edmund Kearsley (52:26):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:28):
I’d like to get down to one of the Melbourne ones.

Peter Wilson (52:31):
That was one of the best ones I’ve ever been to was a Melbourne one years ago.

Dushan Silva (52:36):
Oh

Dushan Silva (52:36):
Yeah. Cool. And we, we, we’ll do a Melbourne one next year. Where do think that

Peter Wilson (52:42):
Common peg, which is cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:43):
<laugh>. <laugh>. We’ve got Max saying fine, I’ll go alone. <laugh>

Dushan Silva (52:51):
Max

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:53):
<laugh>.

Dushan Silva (52:53):
I was going to go with Max, but, uh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:59):
To yourself, an injury

Dushan Silva (53:02):
Had to fix my arm.

Peter Wilson (53:06):
Max will fix it.

Dushan Silva (53:08):
<laugh>,

Dushan Silva (53:09):
Just break it. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:11):
<laugh>.

Peter Wilson (53:12):
You’ll go gangster. Yeah. You’ll break it and go. Now stop bitching

Dushan Silva (53:16):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:19):
Oh dear God. I just went to my messenger to look at comments. I’m not, I’m not right ahead tonight. <laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (53:33):
So it’s all, uh, baby steps.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:37):
<laugh>. I’ll, I I’ve done one of my traditional not sleeping last night. Stints. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. So, so I’m up to what hour? 39 I think.

Edmund Kearsley (53:51):
Jeez, you can’t do that

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:54):
So far. <laugh>

Edmund Kearsley (53:57):
Just practise blinking more and the sleeping will come. <laugh>.

Dushan Silva (54:00):
How cheap.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:02):
So I’ve heard the stuff the doctor gives me, unfortunately makes me sleep for just as long as I stay awake.

Edmund Kearsley (54:14):
Oh really?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:15):
Hmm. Like if I took it now, I wouldn’t wake up till about now tomorrow.

Edmund Kearsley (54:22):
<laugh>. Oh wow. Cheapest.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:29):
So that kind of puts me off.

Edmund Kearsley (54:32):
Yeah. Fair.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:35):
I got too much to do. You’ll be sleeping that long.

Edmund Kearsley (54:39):
We get a look at, uh, Deshawn’s.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:42):
Yep. Progress. I’ll get in there.

Edmund Kearsley (54:45):
It’s looking pretty good.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:49):
Oops.

Edmund Kearsley (54:49):
Oh cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:52):
Wow. Killing it dude.

Edmund Kearsley (54:58):
Dhan, did you wanna have any dialogue on that page or

Dushan Silva (55:03):
Hmm?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:04):
Where would go? On

Edmund Kearsley (55:05):
Page on that panel? Or do you want to keep it silent?

Dushan Silva (55:10):
Keep it silent? I, I don’t know. Uh, couldn’t think of any.

Edmund Kearsley (55:17):
That’s absolutely fair enough. It looks good. It it does. The artwork does all

Dushan Silva (55:22):
The It can come. Yeah, that’s, that’s the main thing. But like if you want to put dialogue,

Edmund Kearsley (55:31):
It’s up to you. Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:32):
I was gonna say it’s your panel dude.

Edmund Kearsley (55:34):
<laugh>

Dushan Silva (55:34):
I’m fine with if you want to put dialogue, but Hmm. But I couldn’t come up with anything to say. My main thing is I can,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:51):
But then we’ll have to rera the book. So

Dushan Silva (55:55):
<laugh>, my main thing is just, uh, pictures to tell the story without any dialogue.

Edmund Kearsley (56:03):
It looks like you’re snuck in a couple of nipples there too.

Dushan Silva (56:06):
<laugh>

Peter Wilson (56:24):
Have it all. Classic

Edmund Kearsley (56:25):
<laugh>.

Peter Wilson (56:28):
Okay. I’ve got an update on it. Still going to Sean.

Edmund Kearsley (56:32):
Let’s have a look at Petes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:34):
Yep. Actually I’ll just do it this way. Yeah, there’s a full screen. Oh, nice. Oh, that’s

Dushan Silva (56:43):
Nice.

Edmund Kearsley (56:44):
That looks great.

Peter Wilson (56:46):
Awesome. Fun.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:47):
Fricking awesome.

Peter Wilson (56:50):
I’ll start

Dushan Silva (56:55):
You. You remember the, the Mad Balls?

Edmund Kearsley (56:59):
Yes.

Dushan Silva (57:00):
That car

Peter Wilson (57:02):
Pete No.

Dushan Silva (57:04):
Reminds me of that.

Edmund Kearsley (57:06):
Yeah, that was a Oculus or something.

Dushan Silva (57:09):
Yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (57:10):
I’ve got one in the other room if I don’t know what is,

Peter Wilson (57:14):
I’m not familiar with

Edmund Kearsley (57:15):
One. They were rubber balls. The eighties that had ugly faces on them. Mm.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:22):
Oh, I vague. Do you remember those? They were like, um, on back of comics and stuff, weren’t they?

Edmund Kearsley (57:25):
Yeah. The bonkers ad with the big green guy. Mm-Hmm.

Dushan Silva (57:30):
Reminds me of there <laugh>

Peter Wilson (57:35):
To buy another toy.

Edmund Kearsley (57:38):
They had mad balls though. Pretty cool. The the Flying Eye is, uh, a big thing in bug and stomp if you guys

Peter Wilson (57:45):
Yes. Yes it is. Break

Edmund Kearsley (57:46):
That nineties comment. I think they were cameras or something.

Peter Wilson (57:51):
I was lucky enough to finally find an issue one, and when I brought it, it was turned out to be signed by Mark Sexton. So that was cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:01):
Oh wow.

Edmund Kearsley (58:02):
I got my one, um, signed by Bush, the guys at the, the 96 ACON in Melbourne.

Peter Wilson (58:09):
I remember you mentioning that when we did the, uh, drinking draw.

Edmund Kearsley (58:12):
Oh, I’ve actually got the, I found the, I on my wall. I make a lot of noise. It’s the, the sketch that I got.

Peter Wilson (58:26):
Oh, wicked. That’s cool. Mm-Hmm.

Dushan Silva (58:28):
Cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:29):
That’s hard to see through that. Oh, cool.

Edmund Kearsley (58:33):
That’s the six and 96.

Peter Wilson (58:36):
That’s a good bit of memorabilia.

Edmund Kearsley (58:39):
Mm. It was cool to see him draw it too and trying to figure out what pens he’s using and

Peter Wilson (58:50):
Yeah. When I went to Supernova last year, watching Tim McEwen do commissions was just incredible. The way he could perfectly ink Trevor the cow. Mm-Hmm. While talking and signing autographs is just <laugh>. He, he is like, he had <crosstalk>. Wow.

Dushan Silva (59:13):
Uh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:17):
Tim Octavious. Hmm.

Edmund Kearsley (59:24):
And, uh, so people, oh, sorry.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:28):
Oh no, I wasn’t saying anything important. I was just being stupid. It’s all good. Okay.

Edmund Kearsley (59:32):
I was just gonna say that, um, if anyone watching wants to be on the show and draw a panel and contribute to the, the experiment and in sequential storytelling, um, hit up me or says on the, on the socials and we’ll organised to get you on one of the shows.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:51):
Hell yeah.

Peter Wilson (59:53):
Hypothetically, you know how we have guest up done on the drink and draw, what if viewers submitted random panels of their own and we found a way to crowbar them in? Could that work? I, oh, I say Wes not mine, but <laugh>

Dushan Silva (01:00:10):
<laugh>

Peter Wilson (01:00:12):
Can’t just help. I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:13):
Dunno how that would work.

Edmund Kearsley (01:00:14):
Neither do I. But that could, could maybe I could like a, a full panel

Peter Wilson (01:00:20):
Grid. Like maybe once you had the whole book sorted you could see where they’d fit or, I don’t know. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. But it’s an idea.

Edmund Kearsley (01:00:28):
It’s an interesting,

Peter Wilson (01:00:34):
Then again, they could just appear on the show.

Edmund Kearsley (01:00:37):
Hmm.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:39):
Yeah. Get, get more, get people who are scared of the camera on here. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. I know too many of those. They can do what I’m doing. Hide behind blank. Awesome. <laugh>

Edmund Kearsley (01:00:53):
Just have your, uh,

Peter Wilson (01:00:54):
Just have, have

Edmund Kearsley (01:00:55):
Your artwork on show. Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:01):
We can do that. I can set it up that it does that. So anyone watching? We’re we’re, we’re coming to the end. So I guess I think if I’m, I think I’m done. I dunno if I’m assuming you’re done. Holy crap. Okay, let’s show this. I you wanna,

Peter Wilson (01:01:23):
I’ve gone about as far as I can.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:27):
Oh, damn it.

Edmund Kearsley (01:01:29):
If you guys wanna send, um, de Sean, send that to Siz and then

Peter Wilson (01:01:34):
Yeah, I’ll, I’ll send mine to you

Edmund Kearsley (01:01:35):
If you wanna send you messenger.

Peter Wilson (01:01:40):
You just want to

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:44):
I take

Edmund Kearsley (01:01:45):
That off. I’ll try and, um, stitch ’em in and see what the page looks like.

Peter Wilson (01:01:58):
Okay. Mine percent might need to be cropped a bit. I just realised,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02:11):
Where should I be looking? Where are you sending it?

Dushan Silva (01:02:13):
Um, I

Peter Wilson (01:02:16):
Sent to your, your art email.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02:19):
Oh, okay. I’ll go find that. Please do. Um, you’re not the boss. Me, ed is <laugh>

Peter Wilson (01:02:28):
Ed. Tell him please do. <laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02:31):
Please. Oh, which, which email is that one? Send? I haven’t got anything from you.

Peter Wilson (01:02:37):
I’ll send it to you in Messenger. Oh, I’ve

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02:39):
Got it now. I just want it,

Edmund Kearsley (01:02:46):
It’s all cool stuff we can figure out for the upcoming episodes

Dushan Silva (01:02:55):
And

Edmund Kearsley (01:03:03):
I’m very excited to see what the, the page is gonna look like.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:03:12):
This will be the time that Messenger stuffs up on me. You watch? No, sent it.

Peter Wilson (01:03:19):
Well done.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:03:23):
My messenger has this thing where every now and again it won’t send pictures. So very convenient for when we’re doing something like this.

Peter Wilson (01:03:29):
Or I’ll get the one message seven times. That’s always fun too. I,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:03:34):
No, that’s just me trying to be annoying. Sorry about that.

Peter Wilson (01:03:38):
Forgiven.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:03:48):
Ah, forgive so easily. Um, oh, this is the part where I’ve, I should be asking questions, I guess.

Edmund Kearsley (01:03:58):
Yeah,

Peter Wilson (01:03:59):
Please

Edmund Kearsley (01:04:00):
Do. Do a little vamp or a sis

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:04:04):
A vamp.

Edmund Kearsley (01:04:05):
Yeah. That means, uh, do a little bit of, uh, freestyling.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:04:15):
Oh yeah. Well, in that case, that’s why I also don’t know the word because I don’t know the whole act of freestyling. Um,

Edmund Kearsley (01:04:24):
Improvisation. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:04:26):
Well, I usually wait for comments to come in where they, you know, say insulting things about me. <laugh>, um, I, you put me on the spot. Now all I can think about is all the work I’ve been doing today.

Dushan Silva (01:04:42):
Um,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:04:43):
Made a cool little website. That’s all I can think about.

Edmund Kearsley (01:04:47):
Nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:04:49):
Um, well actually it would interest you. I don’t know if this is a place to be saying it, but, oh, here we go. We’ve got a comment. Yes. <laugh>. Say further comment. Nice work tonight. Pete and Dhan. I’m looking forward to seeing how this project unfolds over the coming weeks. Rad. That’s from Taylor lop. Do you spoken robot? Yeah. I hope I pronounce that right. Hislop. Hi

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:05:26):
What I, alright, cool. But yeah, what I was saying was I’ve made a site to try to help creators promote themselves on the interwebs.

Peter Wilson (01:05:43):
That’s awesome.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:05:45):
Mm. Try to make it a bit easier, bit cheaper. ’cause these things can be quite expensive.

Dushan Silva (01:05:52):
I,

Peter Wilson (01:05:53):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:06:02):
But yeah, that’s, um, my brain can’t get away from that with those thoughts. I’m sorry to say <laugh>

Edmund Kearsley (01:06:09):
And show. You can have a little bit of a look at what the page is gonna look like. Oh, cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:06:22):
