Voice Over (00:07):
Let’s make a comic book, but let’s make it a little bit different. Instead of one person or a team making the whole book, we’re gonna have every panel made by a different cartoonist. We are gonna do one page per episode. So the number of guests is the number of panels on the page. So now you’re probably wondering, what’s this comic book gonna be about? Well, lemme tell you. It’s gonna be about a robot. This robot whose name is blank. What happens next? Nobody knows, but it’s gonna be fun finding out.

Edmund Kearsley (00:46):
Hello?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (00:48):
Hello,

Edmund Kearsley (00:49):
We’re back. Hello, <laugh>. Let’s make a comic book. I am Ed Keeley, the host. There’s a dog barking. And this is the show where we’re gonna make a comic book with the different artists on every single panel. So let’s meet artist for tonight. We’ve got Rob Sped Lyle.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (01:15):

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:42):
Oh, there you go. Over there. That’s weird.

Edmund Kearsley (01:45):
Bring up this one. So we’ve got blank. And this is Rob O’Connor’s panel. This turned out really nice and it’s got this guy. It’s saying, why are you attacking? We’re friends. And then we’ve got Bruce Lamb’s panel. Bruce saying, were, and then Brad Daniels with the it’s me Diamond Bill. Don’t you think there’s more to life than eating and violence? And so that’s last week’s page. That’s where the, they’ll be pairing on from. And these are the panel layouts that we’re gonna be picking from.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (02:34):
Nice.

Edmund Kearsley (02:35):

We got Herb, we got angry Fred.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (03:47):

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (03:56):

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (04:28):
I will choose Lana.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:31):
Lana, she is number one.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (04:37):
I’m the biggest loser.

Edmund Kearsley (04:39):
And then

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:40):
Stu, so Stu is number two. He is angry Fred.

Stu Thornton (04:45):
Excellent. I’m excited and angry.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:49):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (04:51):
So we could get Nick, you could start drawing your panel.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (04:55):
Will do.

Edmund Kearsley (04:56):
You can carry on from the, the one where Brad Daniels has introduced the little Diamond monster as Diamond Bill.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:07):
Good old Diamond Bill.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (05:09):
So what do we Nick, what he like how do we, what do we, what do I do? Do I bloody weight mate? Just

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:17):
Wait. Check mate. We, jack, we dance.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (05:21):
I literally don’t do anything until he’s, you

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:23):
Literally don’t do anything until he’s done enough to let us know what the, where you have to go from.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (05:30):
Ah, okay.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:31):
Good to see you. Watch previous shows. Thanks for that.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (05:34):
Oh, I, I exclusively watch, drink, and draw. Rerun. That’s it.

Stu Thornton (05:39):
Busted.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (05:42):
Just you. Cute little sizzle over there. Look how small you are, man.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:46):
<laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (05:47):
Little sizzle over there.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:49):
Okay, I’ll, I’ll go through the the three comments we have so far. We’ve got a Cowabunga from Ed. So he’s Cowabunga himself. Yep. We’ve got a woo-hoo with lots of emojis. Look at ’em all from Kerry Harris <laugh> and then old Jackie Tran and his sausage sizzle and SPEDs gang. So

Edmund Kearsley (06:10):
Nice. Thank you Jackie. There we

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (06:11):
Go. So I am just gonna pop over here.

Stu Thornton (06:19):
Well, just because I’m totally unprepared. What are the size of that panel? What is the dimensions of it? Other dimensions. Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (06:26):
You didn’t get that with the

Stu Thornton (06:28):
Oh, I probably did, but you know, totally unprepared as usual.

Edmund Kearsley (06:32):
Nice. It is 23.4 centimetres down and then 4.8 centimetres across.

Stu Thornton (06:41):
4.8,

Edmund Kearsley (06:42):
Yeah.

Stu Thornton (06:44):
Centimetres. Right on.

Edmund Kearsley (06:46):
And they’re very precise. ’cause when they draw them and take a picture, they’ll just slide right on or scan them. They should fit straight onto the page.

Stu Thornton (06:57):
Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (06:59):
This is the same layout I did on my night. I didn’t like it.

Edmund Kearsley (07:05):
Let’s have a look.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:06):
It was hard <laugh>. It was a stripe

Edmund Kearsley (07:11):
And page seven with the crap page, because they say crap lots

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:17):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (07:19):
I was

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (07:19):
Actually confused as to what so I, there was the dragon that Janna Hoffman did, and then the big dragon came. Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:27):
That dragon

Edmund Kearsley (07:29):
Janna introduced Dragon and then C killed it straight away.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:34):
<laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (07:36):
And that dragon pooped and flew away. Yeah. And then what happens here? Then he’s

Edmund Kearsley (07:41):
Sitting, then blank eats everything. <laugh> eats the dragon

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (07:45):
In there so far. So he eats the poop and the,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:48):
Yeah. Dunno what’s going on there.

Edmund Kearsley (07:50):
There’s the poop on the table. No, he might have made poop.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (07:55):
So are there, are there rules as to how, like, you know, like are there, can I just like draw him removing his helmet to reveal a human testicle for a head? Or is there guidelines

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:07):
<laugh>

Stu Thornton (08:11):
There now? <laugh>? Well,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:12):
Hoping you don’t go that, that path we’re hoping.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (08:16):
Okay. But

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:16):
Technically,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (08:18):
So is it the fact that it was a human testicle that you had a problem with or?

Edmund Kearsley (08:22):
Yeah, if it’s a robot testicle, it’s fine.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:24):
Yeah, it’s fine. Okay.

Nick May (08:25):
Alright. I think I’ve I’ve got something.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (08:29):
Oh, awesome.

Nick May (08:30):
Hold on. Just gimme 18 minutes.

Edmund Kearsley (08:33):
<laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (08:37):
It’s a 14 minute show, but anyway, go for it.

Nick May (08:41):
Thank you. Thank you. The royal prawn on me sunshine. this is gonna not work, isn’t it? So I’m gonna have him in some sort of dramatic pose saying, no, it can’t be true.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (08:59):
Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:00):
Okay. Cool.

Edmund Kearsley (09:04):
So,

Stu Thornton (09:05):
Okay, I’m gonna swing my camera around so you can actually see what I’m doing. Hopefully you can see a page here. Yes,

Edmund Kearsley (09:14):
Definitely can. Yep.

Stu Thornton (09:16):
Beautiful. It’ll be upside down. So it’s a bit like Mr. Squiggle

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:20):
<laugh>. Oh, awesome.

Stu Thornton (09:22):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:23):
Love that show.

Stu Thornton (09:30):
23 point. All old school here.

Edmund Kearsley (09:37):
That’s the way. Yeah, I’ve got the, the pages that I used to make them. So I traced a, a comic book and then drew the things in and then measured them.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (09:56):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:56):
Right.

Edmund Kearsley (09:57):
So it should be, and then scanned them and went over to on the computer.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (10:02):
Sweet. So Rob?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (10:08):
Yes sir.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (10:09):
For the people that don’t know you, <laugh>, I don’t know who they are, but they might be out there.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (10:17):
Well, am I meant to say stuff?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (10:20):
Yeah, tell us a little about yourself.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (10:22):
well I’m a little bit under the weather which is weird because we’re all under the weather. Weather comes from the sun and from the moon and from wind and rain. So we’re all under the weather. so I’ve got that going for me. I make comic books. I do one called The Devil’s Toilet, another one called Sluggish, and another one called Verus that I co-created with this guy there. Nick May <laugh>. And then I write a, some other comic books for other people. I do some stuff with Skys Cabin library. I write issues of torn Rick McLoan. I host a show called Drink and Draw with my boy Sizzle and my boy Quick. that’s me in a nutshell.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (11:16):
There. Now you know him. There you go. Audience. Yeah. Can’t

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (11:21):
S tell me about yourself.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (11:23):
About myself. Oh, there’s a lot to tell. Oh, I don’t know. That’s a, that’s a crappy question. I don’t know why I ask people that. <laugh>,

Edmund Kearsley (11:34):
How many

Stu Thornton (11:35):
Hank

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (11:35):
Hank Pim particles did you need to make yourself so small?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (11:40):
three <laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (11:41):
Three. Good. So still plenty left for rest of us. Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (11:46):
I’ve, I’ve gotta find some more to get back to normal size, so, okay. I dunno if that’s how it works, but it does. Now little about myself. I’ve, I’m, I’m the little head in the, the show.

Nick May (12:03):
Oh blank’s head. Except when I drop out then I’m not blank has his own head then.

Stu Thornton (12:11):
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> <laugh>. I, I do this thing called Comex. you might have heard of it. <laugh>. We just got a woo-hoo from the background there. and, and I read out the comments, which we’ve got one so I can avoid this question. Yeah. hey, all, what is, hi, what a show tonight. Weave your magic fellas. That’s Ben Sullivan.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (12:42):
Hmm. How do you weave magic fellas?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (12:46):
I don’t know. That’s a good question. You’ve been instructed. I’ve got a bit

Stu Thornton (12:49):
Of a

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (12:50):
Bye, Ben. Oh, sorry

Stu Thornton (12:51):
Guys. I’ve got a bit of a question here. obviously these, these panels are a little hard to manipulate being the, the crappy size of them and dimensions. Are we allowed to go outside the panel at all?

Edmund Kearsley (13:06):
Yes.

Stu Thornton (13:07):
Yes.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (13:08):
You’re gonna approach,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:10):
I was gonna say we’ve got, they go ahead a little bit. Not enough that you’re going over the next person’s art, I guess. Is that how it would work?

Stu Thornton (13:19):
Well, how big is the gutter?

Nick May (13:23):
I dunno. I’m living in it. I’ll just go and check.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (13:29):
Now. Where’s my tape measure? And why am we talking about this?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:34):
Oh, no, now it’s been thrown at me from the audience. So says tell us a little about yourself, Andrew Law.

Edmund Kearsley (13:43):
The the, the, the gutter is one and a half at the bottom and top. One and a half centimetres and one centimetre on the side.

Stu Thornton (13:52):
Right. one centimetre I’ve got then

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (13:57):
Hey sis, what do you think Andrew law wears to a wedding or a funeral?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:03):
Do I want to go there?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (14:04):
Close? Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:06):
Undies

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (14:08):
A suit, a law suit.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:12):
<laugh>.

Nick May (14:14):
Yeah, he does.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:17):
So no undies?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (14:19):
I dunno.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (14:20):
Okay. Just checking. I’m sure Andrew will tell us. Rob O’Connor’s coming with a, looking forward to some mighty fine drawing tonight. Gentlemen,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (14:32):
I don’t think I’m, am I allowed to draw yet? Stu, what? Have what

Stu Thornton (14:35):
Are you doing, mate? I, yeah, and what I’m doing here is, what I’m trying to do is have a picture of blank running away and he’s screaming out, he is gonna be screaming out basically up here somewhere.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (14:48):
Okay.

Stu Thornton (14:49):
It’s a tr

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (14:51):
It’s a troub

Stu Thornton (14:53):
A trap like in Star Wars. It’s a trap <laugh>. So basically this guy’s saying we’re friends. He’s saying, oh, I don’t think so. It’s a trap and he’s running in complete nutter fear, basically. And I’ll have the little diamond guy up here.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (15:12):
Okay. And then

Stu Thornton (15:15):
Then it’s up to you to say, okay, he’s running away from Diamond Guy and we’re gonna have, it’s a, it’s, it’s a trap. And then Yeah. Where, where do you go from there?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (15:28):
Okay, I think I’ve got

Stu Thornton (15:29):
Some, is that making sense? Yep. Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (15:33):
Makes sense. And Peter Lane’s doing a Yeah. Boy <laugh>. Yeah.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (15:39):
You that man what he is.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (15:41):
Yeah. And Andrew law goes butter boom. So I don’t know if that was your joke or my joke that he is doing that too, but one of us got available.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (15:48):
Definitely. My jokes is, come on mate.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (15:50):
Yeah, it probably is. I know <laugh>, I’m just dreaming. any demonic toilets or depressed slugs gonna pop up in this story? <laugh>,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (16:02):
I don’t know if we’ve got the right characters doing

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (16:06):
<laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (16:06):
I dunno, what’s the budget? Well,

Stu Thornton (16:07):
Funny. I had a thought of that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (16:18):
Yeah. So lots of fun. So Nick,

Stu Thornton (16:25):
Yeah, tell us about some of the comic books that you make.

Nick May (16:31):
I’d love to, but I don’t think they exist. No, obviously not true <laugh>. when Rob pulled me kicking and screaming into this oh no, that was another story, sorry. Rob forced me to join him on a tour de force, which can only be called Ver Moose. So, so far issues one, two, and three have come out and we’re looking forward to the bumper issue number four being released sometime in the nearish future which is going to be probably the greatest Australian comic that’s ever been in my house, <laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (17:23):
And you’ve got some really good ones.

Nick May (17:25):
Well, yeah, no, that’s true. Actually, that’s rude because I’ve got Ed’s radical right next to me. it’s gonna be in the top infinity of the greatest comics ever made. generally speaking, because of whatever personality disorder I’ve got. I prefer just to make comics like mini comics and give them to people rather than having my ego bruised by trying to sell them and not selling any. So I’ve made, I made something about a, a character called Minty Frisk that was called Harmon. I have also completed a comic during a time of illness last year when I was I was stuck in bed for a while. I made a, a comic called The Pink Flamenco, which I hope will actually come out this year. and, and you know, just other foolish stuff. Roller Cop 2000, which was just a couple of mini cops that mini cops or, or mini comics, I’m not sure. I’m not sure I’m talking about that. that I just photocopied and gave gave copies to a few humans. I guess that’s about it, ed, as far as interest goes. Yeah.

Edmund Kearsley (18:56):
Excellent. Thank you. Have a <laugh>. Okay. Have a look at Edy’s drawing.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:08):
Yeah, let’s pick on Edy.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (19:10):
yeah, mine

Edmund Kearsley (19:12):
For just watching a draw. That looks cool.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (19:15):
Well, so can blank fly or can I establish that and fly?

Edmund Kearsley (19:21):
You can, yeah. Pretty much. Do whatever you want. Yeah. He’s had missiles. He

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:26):
Could do missiles, so, you know.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (19:28):
Well, ’cause my first idea was that I wanted to do that sort of, he’s running away in Stew’s thing, and then I wanted to have him come to a cliff face and do that sort of stop with the smoke coming up from his feet. but I started panicking. I believe this show’s only an hour, <laugh> and

Edmund Kearsley (19:47):
<laugh>. You don’t have to finish it on the phone, dude. Oh, yeah, you don’t have to finish it on the

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (19:52):
Oh, yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (19:53):
Yeah, you

Nick May (19:54):
Can finish it afterwards.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (19:56):
Well, ’cause I’m sort of, so yeah, so I’ve ended up sort of cheating where I’m like, I’ll I’ll have him suddenly just fly off into the <inaudible>

Edmund Kearsley (20:07):
Because we’ve got the, this panel where he’s Sean Craig’s one where he gets the, like the enemy manga style missile pods come out of him. And the little what’s this guy? Diamond Bells transformed a lot. Mm, that’s good point. So there’s no, no reason why you can’t,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (20:32):
I’m still pretty attached to my human testicle for a head idea, but thing you guys are the editors, so

Edmund Kearsley (20:40):
You might wanna get that looked at.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (20:42):
<laugh>. I’ve been trying for years to get people to look at my human testicles.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:47):
<laugh>

Stu Thornton (20:52):
Mate. Story of my life.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:54):
<laugh>. Okay. Got all that. Ready? Got all that. Ready.

Edmund Kearsley (21:08):
So Stu, tell us about your comic books.

Stu Thornton (21:12):
Right. Well, I’ve been doing a lot of comic strips over the years, and I’ve worked for the papers for about 11 years. And I’ve, I’ve, I’ve just wanted to always draw a comic book, and that’s since I was six. I drew my first one when I was in first class, so I’ve always wanted to do it. I’ve been writing the latest ones. well, I came up with a concept in 1986, so it’s a long term pro project. It’s getting to a stage now where I’ve written a whole lot, I’ve drawn 50 pages so far, and I’m probably halfway through. It’s called The Outlaw new version of sort of the Ned Kelly concept, but it’s not Ned Kelly. Nothing like Ned Kelly. It’s just an armour that the guy’s got on. Unfortunately. A lot of the stuff I thought of and I, I wrote years ago, they brought out in the Ironman comics. I was so upset. Ironman movies, <laugh>. So I’ve had to do a rewrite, another rewrite, and another rewrite. but yeah, it’s I’ve, yeah, I’ve, I’ve drawn a fair bit of it and then I’m still powering through it, getting through a few pages every week. And hopefully with the next couple of months I’ll be ready to bring that out.

Edmund Kearsley (22:21):
Excellent.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:22):
Woo.

Edmund Kearsley (22:24):
We bring that back up again, sis. Oh

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:26):
Yeah, sorry. There’s chapter one.

Edmund Kearsley (22:30):
It looks cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:31):
Oh yeah. Wow.

Stu Thornton (22:33):
Yeah, it’s so three issues, but I plan on bringing ’em all out at once. So you know, it is like, the first issue is sort of introductory, so you, you, you’d wanna read the whole thing as a whole. But yeah, it’s a long time in the making.

Edmund Kearsley (22:51):
Excellent.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:52):
Awesome, awesome, awesome. We’ll put the other cover up. Am I getting two next? Nah, three. I did wrong. Order <laugh>. There we go.

Edmund Kearsley (23:02):
Yeah, it looks, they’ve

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:03):
Got reasonable names, so it’s hard to tell. Oh

Stu Thornton (23:13):
Yes. I do like killing people. That’s not a spoiler because you’d have to read it to find out, but

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:20):
Ah, yes. I, that was just in general.

Edmund Kearsley (23:22):
Yeah, I was gonna say, what do you like to do in the comics?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:25):
<laugh>,

Stu Thornton (23:27):
That’s just, yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:35):
Cool. We got some pages here. You want me to show them?

Edmund Kearsley (23:39):
Yes.

Stu Thornton (23:40):
Yeah, go for it, man, they’re, that’s sort of the first look anyway.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:44):
And I dunno if they’re in the right order, but here they come.

Edmund Kearsley (23:47):
Oh, cool.

Nick May (23:51):
Looks amazing, Stu.

Stu Thornton (23:53):
No thanks mate. I’m I’ll get there.

Edmund Kearsley (23:59):
Oh

Nick May (23:59):
Wow. I feel like you’re, it’s

Stu Thornton (24:01):
Funny, you know, I’ve actually drawn it three times and you know, you think, oh, I can do better. I can do better. I’m at a stage now where I’m thinking, if I don’t just bring this out, I’ll never do it. So you know, it doesn’t have to be, as I said to Siz earlier, it doesn’t have to be the Sistine Chapel.

Nick May (24:18):
Luckily because that’s,

Stu Thornton (24:21):
Well that’s it. And how upset was I when I found that out? you dunno, <laugh>. Yeah. So I’ll just keep plotting away with it. See how it goes. The real, the real thing with it as far as I’m concerned is it’s a lifelong dream. the making money and whatever else is not even a factor. It’s this is what I have always wanted to do.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:45):
Nice.

Edmund Kearsley (24:48):
Yeah, it looks great.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (24:56):
So let’s hang on. I’ll bring it back to the screen and I think we can see that. Let’s have a look.

Edmund Kearsley (25:10):
Oh, yeah,

Stu Thornton (25:12):
I see you where I’m at. Anyway, if you can see it. Is that, I can’t see what you’re looking at because it’s my Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:18):
I can see that. Perfect.

Stu Thornton (25:20):
So I’m starting to draw him running just slightly outta the panel. and I’ll have that little diamond guy in the back and you, me out. It’s a trap.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:30):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (25:32):
That looks excellent. Let’s see. next one. Yeah,

Nick May (25:40):
Just gimme 200 years.

Edmund Kearsley (25:44):
Okay. And

Nick May (25:45):
Cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:45):
We’ll watch her for 200 years. Sounds good.

Nick May (25:47):
It’ll be worth it. Look

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:49):
At that beautiful man.

Edmund Kearsley (25:51):
<laugh>, look at that beautiful bookcase.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:52):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (25:56):
Oh, there we go. Oh,

Nick May (25:57):
Bloody hell.

Edmund Kearsley (25:58):
That looks great.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:00):
Sweet.

Stu Thornton (26:01):
Wow.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:04):
I’m not gonna take you down <laugh>

Nick May (26:06):
<laugh> you already have whatever that means.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:13):
Yeah, I’m not sure.

Nick May (26:14):
Okay. Sis. Don’t make it weird.

Edmund Kearsley (26:21):
That’s what he’s here for. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:23):
Yep. It’s my job reading out the comments and making it weird.

Nick May (26:27):
Yeah. Baby blanks kind of got undies on.

Edmund Kearsley (26:38):
They kind of,

Stu Thornton (26:39):
It does.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:44):
It’s all about the undies down the track. This will be known as the undies episode.

Stu Thornton (26:53):
Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:54):
That’s okay. <laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:57):
We’ve got a looking great gents from Rob O’Connor. So

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (27:00):
Thanks Rob. O’ o’

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:03):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (27:04):
Rob O’Connor. He was on

Stu Thornton (27:07):
Oh, the checks in the mail. Rob. Thanks mate.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:10):
<laugh>

Edmund Kearsley (27:12):
Drew that excellent panel at the top there.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:14):
Yeah, we is matrixing the, the missiles.

Edmund Kearsley (27:28):
Does Benzie tell us about the Devil’s Toilet?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:32):
Yeah.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (27:32):
the Devil’s Toilet is a ripoff of Nick Mays character called Bag Head. No, wait, not bag head, paper Face, bag Head was my or near literal ripoff of paper face. so Paper face was a dude who had a Tucker bag bag for a head. and I thought that was genius to when, you know, you’ve gotta draw 22 pages. It’s genius to make your character have a square head. ’cause you know, it’s very, very easy to draw over and over and over. so after trying and failing to launch Bag Head, which was a guy with a freezer bag over his head, <laugh> I just adopted the squareness of it all and came up with the square head of a toilet. and then yeah, decided, all right, well, what’s the deal with a toilet? Why is he talking and all that good stuff?

(28:35)
so he’s a demonic toilet from the Pits of Hell who, I don’t know if you know this, but it’s, you know, it’s in scripture in all, all manner of Bibles that when you get to hell <laugh> the first thing they do is remove the parts of you that sinned the most. So if you use your hands for no good, your hands were removed. If you thought impure thoughts, your brain was removed and so on. so all those bits and pieces were thrown in a, in a whatever, in a, in an, in a area of hell. And a few of them landed near the Devil’s Toilet, who somehow some way made them his own. And by having, you know, the arms of this guy and the head of that guy and whatever became sentient and then realised that hell sucks and made about finding his way to earth in coming to Earth, he realised it was oddly easy to do to get to Earth. And that’s because the devil let him come to Earth, because where the Devil’s Toilet goes, goes a portal that the devil himself can use to ascend to Earth to bring about the apocalypse. So once the Devil’s Toilet inadvertently brings about the apocalypse, he tries to then put the devil back where he came from and flush him down the toilet. it’s about 74 episodes, 74 issues in length. I’ve done three. my kids’ kids will release the final issues in the year 3012.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:25):
Excellent. Wow. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:35):
My head may be in a jar by then, but I’m looking forward to it.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (30:40):
Just my head

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:41):
As long as I can see it again. I wanna see how it ends.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (30:48):
I think

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:51):
It,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (31:02):
How would you turn the pages, sis?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:06):
I’m sure I’d have a robot telepathy. Not long bef I’ll get to the end of the story. And then the real apocalypse where the AI come after us, then at least I got to see the book before I got killed by the Robots <laugh>. I Happy Brain

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (31:30):
<laugh>. I actually hope to wrap it up with issue five. only because I want it to exist in completion and I can’t foresee <laugh> doing like, you know, takes hundreds of hours to do these things. So I thought better to end it at issue five and have an ending than be on issue nine. And you know, be 82 and it never finishes <laugh>. That’s my theory.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:01):
Damn. I wanted to see that other ending.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (32:04):
Ooh, easy. I saved that ending for my wife.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:11):
Oh dear. We’re going there. That’s what she said.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:15):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:22):
Oh dear.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (32:24):
A female deer.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:25):
Which direction does the toilet flush? Andrew Law asks.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (32:30):
Good question, Andrew. and yeah, I wish I knew the answer. please submit your query to f fno at Yahoo something or other <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:51):
Oh,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:55):
That’s something else I wanna show at the end.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (32:57):
I did put the finishing touches on the Moose four just last night.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:01):
Ooh.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (33:03):
So it is on its way. I yeah, it has been a long time coming, but the wait is nearly over.

Nick May (33:16):
Heard that before. <laugh> and

Nick May (33:23):
<laugh> <laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (33:26):

Nick May (33:28):
Keep it clean. Stu.

Stu Thornton (33:30):
No, sorry, my, my, my bad

Nick May (33:34):
Family should,

Stu Thornton (33:36):
Can’t take me anywhere. Not in my own lounge room.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:40):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:45):
That’s looking really cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:45):
How are you

Stu Thornton (33:46):
Boys all looking?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (33:49):
I’m about a six outta 10 on a good day. yeah, I’m not having a great hair day today. It’s why I’m wearing the hat. But me either

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:58):
<laugh>,

Edmund Kearsley (34:03):
Let’s take a look at Rob’s panel.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:07):
Let’s have a look at, oh God, I must did it again. This is what I did last week. I almost removed people from the show.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (34:16):
so

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:17):
Who it doing that

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (34:19):
Zooming in and out? <laugh>?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:22):
No,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:22):
No, no. It, it sh it went up full screen without showing us.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (34:26):
Oh. yeah, so blank’s coming together and then we’re gonna make him shooting off into the air. I haven’t allowed Awesome. Much room for Diamond Bill. Plus I’m gonna need to find the reference of Diamond Bill ’cause I pretty much just I it to you. No, I know. I have to actually look at it with my eyes is what I mean.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:50):
Ah, yes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:53):
Yeah. The old,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (34:54):
His hand is off the page, but you know,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:57):
It’s alright. It’s all good.

Edmund Kearsley (34:59):
One little finger will get cut off.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (35:02):
Yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (35:02):
It’s looking good. That’s gonna be good for the next week’s. Mm. starting off point.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (35:10):
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. And you can look at, look at this pixelated piece of whatnot that Siz sent me.

Edmund Kearsley (35:17):
That looks great.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (35:19):
Sure. One those pixels is what blank is meant to look like.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:25):
I love sending pixelated things. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:29):
Okay,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:32):
Come on. That was said for a Nick May comment.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:34):
<laugh>

Edmund Kearsley (35:36):
Only solicited pixelated things though. <laugh>,

Stu Thornton (35:40):
When I was working at the paper, we deliberately pixelated it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:44):
<laugh>

Stu Thornton (35:45):
Even when it wasn’t <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:51):
Oh, hang on. We gotta know. Andrew Law, I’m guessing this is about the toilet flushing. Where’s your research rob?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (36:00):
I’ve spent a lot of time sitting on them. another character I came up with is the toilet porting man. because all my best ideas happen while I’m on the toilet. so that is a man who much like the Matrix, how they need to get to a phone in order to get back in the matrix or whatever it was. this man can teleport, but only from toilet to toilet. So if there’s a problem in the Pentagon or whatever, he needs to find a nearby toilet, toilet port into the Pentagon. and then solve the problems that have presented themselves. However, he has no other powers or anything. So he arrives at the Pentagon on the toilet, you know, and the rest writes itself. Hopefully

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:55):
I need this comic in my life.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (37:00):
Well, if you do get to live as long as a head in a jar, then we’ll make it happen.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:06):
Awesome. Well I was hoping you draw it, not your grandkids. So whatever. I’ll take what I get.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (37:21):
Well, hopefully like with each generation the drawing gets slightly better.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:26):
Is that possible?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (37:29):
Yes. <laugh>. Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:32):
Does it get better? I don’t think it gets better.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (37:34):
I think the first thing my son said when he came out the womb was, was like, plenty of room for growth there in your art. Hey dad, <laugh> hurtful first words.

Stu Thornton (37:48):
Well, that’s the job of kids mate to be hurtful.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:52):
<laugh>

Stu Thornton (37:55):
Mine anyway.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:57):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:01):
Closest thing I got to a kid is a cat. And Doug is annoying as hell. Very hurtful.

Edmund Kearsley (38:17):
And Doug was the star of his own comic with the

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:20):
Yes, he was Sizzle and Doug into the multiverse. That was a very fun comic. We have like, I don’t know, six or seven left. Oh.

Stu Thornton (38:32):
What happens in that?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:35):
Pretty much sizzle and Doug travel through a portal each page to a different universe and a different universe. Oh wow. Is drawn by a different artist. And weird things happen. Non weird things happen. Depends on the artist really. Some of them were very weird actually. until he finally, they, they, I should say they finally find Kerry

Stu Thornton (39:02):
<laugh>. They finally find what, sorry Kerry, because ke sorry, ke I’ve just been corrected. Ke <laugh>. She’s Doug’s mum. There you go.

Stu Thornton (39:18):
Oh, okay. <laugh>. Yeah. I know you can’t see my face, but I was a bit confused. <laugh>, which is pretty much my normal face, but,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:37):
So yeah, he had his own comic.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:41):

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:43):
Hey, we’ve, we’ve talked about everyone’s comics, although now I’ve gotta pick on Rob ’cause he’s got another comic. I’ve got a little toy of that comic tell about that

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:55):
Comic

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (39:57):
Rob comic book called Sluggish which was a effort to get back to how I used to make comics when I was a kid. And that’s just by drawing and letting like the story just happen. and by trying to be more sort of zini lo-fi like spend be less precious about my line and all that sort of stuff. and then it went on to be like one of my more sort of successful books, putting all kinds of pressure on the second one <laugh>, which was hard for me to then sort of approach the second one with the same sort of lackadaisical. I’ll just find it as I go type attitude. ’cause I really wanted it to hold up to be, you know, to be as good as the first one or, or maybe even better or whatever. yeah. And then awesomely, a few people have said, I think I like the second one better than the first one. So now the third one can go f itself <laugh>. I don’t know how, how to do that. but we’ll find out. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> I was relaying a story about something awkward about myself to someone and they said, that’s issue three of sluggish. And I was like, holy shit, you are right. So I might have a thing. We’ll see.

(41:31)
it’s about depression and slugs. I should have been clearer about that. It’s about yeah, of course there’s not much story going on. It’s just a a guy trying to go to work one day and he wishes for two things. one he voices and one he keeps to himself and they both come true. and he gets more than he bugging for, essentially. he just wants something to break up the monotony and something does indeed

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:05):
Break up everything. I’m gonna be cheeky and then go have a look at this one.

Edmund Kearsley (42:25):
Oh, that’s looking good.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:28):
That’s looking awesome, Stu.

Stu Thornton (42:31):
Oh gee. I’ll swing it around obviously. Just can you see that? Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Blank. Running away.

Edmund Kearsley (42:41):
<laugh>,

Stu Thornton (42:42):
It’s, the truck is gonna be at the top. I’ll end up finishing it later and putting in nice whatever and rendering it. And, but the first part of it is I do all this in pencil and then ink and then I basically scan it in the computer and it goes through Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Depending on what I need to do. put a bit of shadow on it, a bit of colour. Well in this case it’ll just be a gradient. yeah. And try and make it look pretty. Try and make my pencils and my ink into something that looks professional, semi sort of

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:16):
Nice. <laugh>.

Stu Thornton (43:26):
How does this work now? Do we give you a shot of this and you put it up tonight? Or how does it work?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:32):
Yep. On the hour.

Edmund Kearsley (43:34):
Okay. Send it to Sid and then I’ll put it into a mock up of the page and then we’ll have a look, see what it’s gonna look like.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:47):
Yeah, you can. and

Stu Thornton (43:48):
That’s during the broadcast? Yes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stu Thornton (43:51):
Yep. Right out. I’ll have to because I’m doing, doing this on my phone and I’ll have to figure out how to do that.

Edmund Kearsley (43:58):
Just take a photo of it and send it to

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:00):
Yeah. And send it to my messenger.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (44:04):
What’s his name?

Stu Thornton (44:06):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (44:07):
Stevie.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:10):
Stevie. You know Steve

Edmund Kearsley (44:11):
<laugh>?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (44:13):
Ste. A Stevie. Stevie does the messaging.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:18):
<laugh>.

Edmund Kearsley (44:19):
Wow.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (44:20):
I was also a songwriter back in the day. So

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:27):
I was the song butcher. Does that count? <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:32):
Bucha.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:36):
That’s why you take the words and say ’em all wrong with a really unpleasant voice. So you couldn’t even think of that word for a second. Imagine me singing it. <laugh>

Nick May (45:00):
Shane, I’ve sent you a copy to the Art atx.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:07):
Oh, okay. do I have that open? Do I have

Nick May (45:10):
That? I’m not sure. I can’t answer that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:12):
Why not? <laugh>?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:13):
Where am I? Yeah, it’s looking good.

Stu Thornton (45:18):
Okay, I’ll just take a photo of that, which means I’ve gotta zoom away from you guys for a moment. So if you want get off,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:25):
If

Stu Thornton (45:25):
You wanna get off me, I’ll take a photo of it very quickly.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:33):
So we’ve got another 15. If you wanna wait till then

Stu Thornton (45:38):
I’ll just wait for 15 minutes. I don’t mind

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:41):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:43):
Yeah, don’t send it to me for another 15, but keep drawing.

Stu Thornton (45:46):
Alright then. Righto.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:49):
<laugh>.

Stu Thornton (45:51):
Well hmm.

Nick May (46:05):
as Rob would know, you worry, you worry

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:08):
You. Silly. Silly man.

Nick May (46:12):
If I can just interrupt your monologues. I wanna have one of my own. as Rob would know after I’ve sent in what I’ve done, I always like to make changes and then send them in again. And then again, and then probably again, again. So since I sent that one to you, I’ve made changes, but I think <laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:36):
<laugh>,

Nick May (46:37):
I think we’ll just, you know, it’s close enough. You reckon? Whatever mate. Stop talking. Okay, I’ll,

Stu Thornton (46:47):
Dude, I’ve been drawing a comic for over 30 years. I know what it means to make changes. I think you’re right.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:52):
<laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (46:53):
Do you know what it means as the guy putting the print file together and it’s just like, here’s a different page. 13. Can you slot this in? Ah, I screwed up 20. Put this in and you just send me everything again because I don’t know what’s, what

Nick May (47:08):
In fairness to me, Rob is my proofread and editor. So anyway, whatever. Right?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:18):
Perfect.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:32):
Keep making those changes tr Bill

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:35):
<laugh>.

Nick May (47:36):
Oh, I see what you did there. You’re nagging me. You rat

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:41):
<laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:48):
Audience has gone very quiet.

Nick May (47:50):
Come on. Audience on earth.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:52):
Let’s get some questions in the

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:54):
Chat. I

Nick May (47:54):
Can’t carry this whole show myself,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (47:57):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:57):
Oh, you can?

Nick May (48:00):
No, I, I honestly can’t.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:02):
No, no, seriously, I’ve been sitting here waiting for you to

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:07):
See what happens.

Stu Thornton (48:09):
I don’t know. I want to hear more about the toilet stuff.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:13):
<laugh>.

Stu Thornton (48:14):
I, I’m totally impressed by this toilet concept.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:19):
That’s awesome. I’m not

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (48:20):
Sure you’ll be once you read it, but

Stu Thornton (48:22):
Here I am doing stupids and you are doing toilets. I tell you what you, you’re beating me already.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (48:28):
Oh mate. It’s definitely where the money is. I’ll tell you that.

Stu Thornton (48:31):
<laugh> toilet humour or

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (48:35):
Sure.

Stu Thornton (48:37):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:38):
My God. How far do I have to scroll to get some toilets here? Do you post the toilet on your thing Rob?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (48:50):
not often. I haven’t done anything with him for a little while. Since

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:55):
Two three came out.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (48:56):
It’s been,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:57):
I’ve seen a lot of drink and draw stuff, but, oh, there’s a toilet. There we go. I’ll leave it there. We can start from there and move up. Oh, just moved on its own. That’s kind of freaky

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:19):
<laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:21):
I could take this opportunity to announce something that has nothing to do with this show.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (49:26):
Sure.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:27):
with drink and draw actually, which we have two regulars with drink and draw here so that, that works out well. There were pictures posted last week that I put on Instagram and it shut my Instagram account down.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (49:42):
Oh, rules

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:44):
About what you can send in now.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (49:47):
Yeah. People

Stu Thornton (49:47):
Send, oh, what were they?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:50):
That it was a lady and a demon doing things. <laugh> and sexy. My account got shut down and then about five minutes later it came back up and Instagram said, you need to delete this or you will not share your posts. So I delete that. So I found that interesting and I censored it and I still got in trouble. So yeah.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (50:16):
I feel like someone must have reported you for that to happen.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:19):
They must have because there’s someone else who has that exact same picture up on their thing and they’re fine. But I thought just to be safe, I’ll change the rules about what can come in.

Nick May (50:33):
So what are other rules, Shane?

Stu Thornton (50:35):
No nudity,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:37):
No sle heads. No nudity.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (50:41):
Damnit

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:42):
this show’s different. I don’t share it on Instagram, so it’s fine. <laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (50:46):
So do as many testicles as I want.

Stu Thornton (50:50):
Keep it Hopefully two. Hopefully just two. But anyway.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:55):
Yeah, but so bringing it in. Nothing to do with this show though, so just me filling in some space.

Edmund Kearsley (51:13):
So when’s the next drink and draw?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:16):
next Friday. So not tomorrow, but the Friday after. And what’s the theme? Good question. I don’t know.

Edmund Kearsley (51:26):
Oh,

Nick May (51:27):
Come in.

Stu Thornton (51:28):
The real negative of living in Perth is I’m three hours behind most of the guys over there. So when you guys are doing drink and I’m still leaving work and on my commute home,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (51:43):
Are you all geared up for the elimination chamber stew?

Stu Thornton (51:47):
What? Sorry?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (51:49):
The elimination chamber. It’s coming to Perth in less than a month I think.

Stu Thornton (51:54):
Oh look, no idea what talking. I have no idea what that is. So but yeah, why not? I’m geared, what is it?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (52:01):
WWE pro Wrestling.

Stu Thornton (52:04):
Oh, okay. Right. No, that scares me. <laugh>. I do scare easy. Mind you. But wow. Perth’s getting something. Well, Perth gets a lot of big things. As I said, I’ve only been here for a few months compared to Darwin where they get absolutely nothing except cyclones and crocodiles and crime. yeah, Perth, Perth’s got a lot of good stuff.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:30):
Excellent. We got ourselves a question. Is it a prerequisite to have a beard to be on this show?

Nick May (52:38):
That’s true.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:39):
I’ll say yes.

Stu Thornton (52:41):
I actually don’t have a beard. I just don’t shave. Does that count?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:46):
close enough. I don’t shave either. Well, I do, I shaved this morning, but yeah,

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (52:54):
I don’t shave either. Well actually that’s a lie. I shave every day.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:00):
The shaves on at night, so, you know, you see the growth. Yeah. If we did some of these early in the morning, you’d see me with a clean face for at least five minutes.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (53:14):
Nick, did you draw a background?

Nick May (53:17):
Sort of? I, I tried to go with some of the stuff that Ed has included in page one. include that the building with the circles on it and the big pipe going down the side.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (53:37):
Ah, yeah.

Nick May (53:38):
I drew it on the other side though, so when it’s on the other side it loses one of the windows. I think that’s how perspective works. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. and I also included some mushrooms or toad stools, whatever. They’re

Edmund Kearsley (53:54):
Excellent.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:57):
Awesome. I love it. Five minutes. Oh no, really? You’d have to finish it just five minutes before we put it together to give an approximation of what it will look like once it’s finished.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (54:16):
So pencil’s down in five minutes. Yeah,

Edmund Kearsley (54:19):
<laugh>. I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:19):
Can send the,

Nick May (54:24):
I sent you another version obviously Shane, just so you knew.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:29):
Okay, cool. I’ll go find it. Hang on. Oh, that a new one and my email won’t open. Oh, there we go.

Edmund Kearsley (54:44):
So it says what other shows is on the comics network coming up.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:51):
I know, I don’t like to talk about ’em. Okay. No. we have this show, of course on Thursday nights every Thursday night. Well, at least until the comics finished, I guess since it’s a 22 page, 20 page. Oh God, I’ve forgotten. Let’s just keep going. Make it a trade. No.

Edmund Kearsley (55:13):
Will this <laugh>, will this be printed? Is comic is that curiosity?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:17):
Yeah. that’s the plan.

Edmund Kearsley (55:19):
Yeah. Brilliant.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:21):
Mm. So every second Wednesday we got Shaden J and I just realised, I’m like on a totally different page here, so I can’t see any of you. we got Shaden J she does a show called Oz Comex Show where she interviews people about their current book or old book or whatever book they want us to talk about. Shane does an awesome job of that. And Tuesday we have Tuesday Chinwag, which is every Tuesday at the moment, but it will return to fortnightly. Just Lee’s being bombarded with people who wanna be on the show, so.

Edmund Kearsley (56:08):
Excellent.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:09):
And then Friday is drink and draw every fortnight. So next week is the fortnight which has a different theme each week. And 10 of us sometimes draw, well one of us sometimes draws. The other nine do draw whatever the topic is. And there is beautiful art that comes outta that show. and we also have what do you call it viewers who send in their pictures and we show them at the end and it’s great fun. Then there’s a show on Saturdays, which is called Amateur Hour, which is where I try to draw something on my iPad. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. But fun And now I’m gonna probably forget a show ’cause I can’t think of what else. I think that’s everything we used to have live streams. But yeah, doing that kind of overloaded me <laugh>, where we did live streams with people drawing, I should say live drawing. I did too many of them I think last year and got a bit burnt out. So I don’t know if we’ll be doing that again unless someone else does them.

(57:29)
That’s everything isn’t it? Sp I forgetting anything?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (57:34):
Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:36):
Oh shit. Which one?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (57:38):
I dunno, I forgot it as well. <laugh>.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:40):
Oh, okay. As long as we both forgot it, we’re fine. And we’re at that time when you guys can take your photos, take your scans, do whatever you want, send it over to me and I will, I can do that

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:56):
Now.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:57):
Yeah, you can do that now.

Edmund Kearsley (57:59):
We’re all right then I’ll give it a go.

Nick May (58:01):
Okay, I’ll do it Now.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (58:03):
Can we go into overtime or No?

Edmund Kearsley (58:05):
No, you don’t have to finish it tonight, don’t you? Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:07):
You don’t have to finish it. You

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (58:09):

Cool. Yeah, that’s a lot better. I practised that one and that one.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:26):
Oh, here he is.

Nick May (01:09:31):

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:36):

Worked out. Does that to you? Whoa. What’s going on?

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (01:09:42):

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (01:09:55):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:09:55):
I love it.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (01:09:56):
Wow. Down the bottom. It says out now. So it’s good that the scrolling thing’s covering it because it’s not out now. <laugh>,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:02):
<laugh>.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (01:10:05):
Sorry sis. Continue.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:07):
Yep. I’ve skipped over to the fourth monkey.

Stu Thornton (01:10:12):
That’s me the monkey.

Nick May (01:10:14):
Stu, I wonder if there’s a story behind why you are called the fourth monkey.

Stu Thornton (01:10:20):
I couldn’t think of anything else. back when I was about 20, I thought the three wise monkey, why isn’t there a fourth one? So I thought I’ll be the fourth one instead of see no evil. Nice covering the eyes, hear no evil covering the ears. Speak no evil. Covering the mouth. I thought I’ll be the fourth monkey and cover my groin. Do no evil. <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:10:39):
<laugh>.

Stu Thornton (01:10:42):
And that character just developed into a cartoon character, which I’ve used over and over and over again. I do a lot of caricatures at the moment, so people come to me and then do the caricatures for calendars. You see a couple of calendars there. yeah. But did a lot of comic strips, a lot of graphic design. I do a lot of that every single day work.

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (01:11:06):
Is that your childhood comic collection on the floor? Just there? The, the

Stu Thornton (01:11:09):
One it’s man, that was when I was, I think I was 12 and laid out all those comic books on the floor. It actually, that would’ve been about a third of the collection. Maybe a quarter. yeah. Got a photo of it. As you can see though, my stepbrother’s actually standing on one <laugh>, which I didn’t realise to a lot later. And it still upsets me to this day that I’m looking at that. And he’s standing on a comic book

Rob ‘Spedsy’ Lisle (01:11:32):
Book or he stepped on one. You could say,

Stu Thornton (01:11:35):
Ah, look at you <laugh>

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:11:37):
