Ed Kearsley (00:01):
It was the coffee.

(00:43)
Hello and welcome to another episode of Let’s Make a comic book where we make a comic book with a different artist for every single panel. And tonight is no exception and we’ve got three artists in to help us make our page. We’ve got Alex Yarn and Zach are here. And hello to those guys. We’ve got Siz on the buttons, doing buttons, the hosting stuff and let’s get stuck into it. So we’re going to take a look at last week’s page where we had Justin McNamara with the Gro test, alien version of the Whale, the octopus, whose name is Whale, the same buddy buddy, we are not buddies. And then Rob Lyles come in with the whales, taken bit’s, helmet off and exposed it to the vacuum. And then Tom Tongue has got the person in the background from the spaceship from panel one saying, you know, bitsy and we can see a bomb on the side of Whale and Bitsy saying Bity to ship. I have repurposed the detonator. Blow it now. And that is where you guys will be carrying on from. And to do that we’re going to need to pick a layout. Yep. So let’s see which one we get.

(02:26)
Which one is it? Oh, it’s nice. Amazing. The same one I did last year as well. It might be, but they’re slightly askew. We’ll take that off there. We will move back. Do this. There you go. And while I am finding that and putting it into the private chat, sis can have a look at the questions or the comments. Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (02:58):
We have a woo from Shawnee and hello from Alison.

Ed Kearsley (03:05):
Hello.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (03:08):
Everyone else is just watching without saying anything.

Ed Kearsley (03:13):
Okay, then that is in the thing. And Nita, send Alex the one on Messenger.

Alex Major (03:22):
Hey, I already sent filthy messages tos

Ed Kearsley (03:28):
As you should.

Alex Major (03:30):
Ah, he sent me a link. Okay, cool. I got a link so I’m going to be alarmed. I think I can,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (03:39):
Where do I go?

Ed Kearsley (03:41):
The private chat on the side. Private chat.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (03:44):
Oh, okay. It’s got a link in there to the, and it’ll have the measurements of each panel which are all the same in this particular, right.

Ed Kearsley (03:53):
Well

Ed Kearsley (03:54):
I just forgot that we need to do the hand of choose zoom to choose the order.

Alex Major (04:01):
Do I just type private?

Ed Kearsley (04:04):
Alex, you get to choose the number.

Alex Major (04:07):
Okay. I’m going to choose the number three.

Ed Kearsley (04:11):
Number three. And that is number one. So you get to go first.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (04:17):
First. Oh no, not a romance.

Alex Major (04:21):
He knows what the story is.

Ed Kearsley (04:26):
And Jan, you get to pick,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (04:31):
Sorry,

Ed Kearsley (04:33):
You get to pick a number. Choose one I number

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (04:39):
Any number.

Ed Kearsley (04:42):
Can you see the screen? Sorry,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (04:44):
I’m multitasking. I’m opening the panel grid while and that’s all I’m capable of at one time. Sorry, I have to pick a number between what and what,

Ed Kearsley (04:53):
Two or four? Four.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (04:57):
Four.

Ed Kearsley (04:59):
Four. Okay. You get the choose one. So you get to choose if you want to go second or third.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (05:09):
I’ll go second.

Ed Kearsley (05:11):
All right,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:13):
Cool. Order everyone’s on the screen. Perfect.

Ed Kearsley (05:16):
Zach is last or third? Not last. And

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:24):
I’ll do some more comments

Ed Kearsley (05:28):
There. Get some comments in.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:29):
We got thinking of getting a little shaky with the panel A Ed, is that Ed A what? Y next to D? No, it’s not. I don’t know.

Ed Kearsley (05:39):
Thinks getting a little shaky with that panel there Glen. It’s hard to

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:45):
Make. Gary’s saying hi all.

Ed Kearsley (05:47):
Hey Gary. It’s hard to make lots of different versions of a three panel layer.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (05:53):
Yeah, it would be.

Ed Kearsley (05:55):
And having them all kind of be even ish.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (06:00):
I’m still of the argument that we can repeat, but that’s just me. I’m not the boss. Ed’s the boss.

Ed Kearsley (06:06):
We’re going to have to soon because there’s only 12 of them.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (06:12):
And then we’ve got a Let’s go from Justin.

Alex Major (06:20):
Okay. Just letting everybody know I finally successfully put the panels onto the page. I’m going to go ahead so maybe Isaac, Ian can get to know each other, ask each other some questions while I’m busy. Would you doing the drawing thing?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (06:46):
Just sit back Ed. It looks like Alex is the host.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (06:48):
I only draw really. I hide in my room and draw. I’m not very good at talking to people

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (06:57):
Pretty much the same. I

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (06:59):
Like being in the classroom and then I can talk at people and they have to listen to me or drawing. But

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (07:06):
Yeah, this is the same talk at people. It’s all good talk at the audience.

Ed Kearsley (07:12):
So Jan, tell us about the comic book you’ve been working on.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (07:17):
Oh, I do a lot of work with Chris Sequeira, who is an awesome guy and a really interesting writer. He’s a bit of a ideas factory and not only that but the most stick to man I’ve ever met in my life in any kind of profession. So he is always talking to editors at Marvel and DC and IDW and Dark Horse and every now and then something happens and then he asks me to jump on board. So we’ve created a few things together, but at the moment, Chris’s editor in chief at a new company called IPI and we’re distributed worldwide and we’ve got the franchise to do the human fly, which the real comic geeks among us might remember from a couple of years in the seventies. Those of us who our collections go back that far. If we don’t to give you, I probably the super old timer here.

(08:31)
I graduated high school in 74 and I think the series came out in 79 and I missed it because it was probably the only two or three years of my life I was too busy travelling around to. But I’m told it’s a lot of fun and it’s fondly remembered by a fair few people, including Bill Ow who is doing the cover for issue one. We’ve already published the zero issue. Chewy Chan did a cover for that and I did the other cover and now we’re launched into the first story arc proper, which is for issues. So I’m drawing that. So I recently retired and so I’m working full time on the human fly, which is really fun and quite exciting. Seems a few people are actually seeing it. It’s nice to do comments that are being seen. So yeah, we’re hoping to build up the readership so we can keep on going.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (09:42):
Yeah, awesome.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (09:43):
Yeah, it being a licenced property, it just gives it a little bit more of a readership so you can break through that sales point, which makes it viable. The franchise owners, they’re in film and stuff like that as well and so they’re quite good at promoting. It’s interesting. What about yourself? Sorry, who asked me that question?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (10:16):
That’s it, that was Ed. I was just going to say I remember the human fly in the eighties though, going to secondhand bookstores and finding it in amongst all the secondhand batch issues. Unfortunately my copies had the price written in Nicko on the cover and a stamp on the inner page of the secondhand bookstores logo. But apart from that it was awesome book.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (10:46):
Cool. I remember

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (10:47):
Fondly,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (10:49):
I want to track them down. But yeah, I actually haven’t read a single issue of the initial run. Chris knew it. I’m also not, well, I shouldn’t say I’m not a Frank Robbins fan, I wasn’t a Frank Robbins fan. All of his characters looked to me like they were suffering from St. Vitus dance or something, but he doesn’t do that sort of balletic superhero stuff, which I like personally. John Bassima I think was probably the great master of that, but I mean I certainly appreciate his cartooning and I think he was more a newspaper strip artist really who went into comics, but he does beautiful work of a kind, but I never thought he was particularly suited to superheroes. But if anybody

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (11:45):
Wants to get started,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (11:47):
It’s purely a taste thing, obviously it’s very highly thought of. I mean they had drawing Batman and Captain American all sorts of high profile books. But yeah, it just wasn’t my cup of tea. That’s all.

Alex Major (12:01):
Jan, I’m all about people talking smack about other artists, so don’t hold back.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (12:08):
Well Frank’s not here, so not anymore.

Alex Major (12:13):
He isn’t.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (12:15):
I’m sure he would be less than worried about my opinion. Frank Robbins is a legend, isn’t it?

Alex Major (12:24):
Doesn’t look like it. Not in this room. He seems to be, but anyways, I already got the first, I don’t know how much this thing is

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (12:32):
So we can see

Alex Major (12:33):
What’s going on. It’s really rough. But basically the idea is that the octopus locks eyes with bity and I think they’re going to fall in love.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (12:45):
Okay.

Alex Major (12:46):
So I mean all of that stuff is just leading into Ah, I didn’t notice. I dunno, I’m probably going to change the dialogue to something. I didn’t even notice how pretty your eyes are or something like that. The idea is that they lock eyes and they change thing and yeah it it’s romantic.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (13:07):
Right. Okay, cool. But I can work

Alex Major (13:10):
With that. You don’t need to go, you can go elsewhere with it. That’s just where my

Ed Kearsley (13:13):
Panel

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:15):
Totally up to you, where you take it from that.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (13:16):
That’s panel number one isn’t it?

Alex Major (13:18):
Yeah, but there’s like 18 panels before it, so which were not this, so feel free.

Ed Kearsley (13:27):
He did this last time in the first season

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:29):
Too. Yeah, we have a one panel romance in the last book as well.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (13:32):
Alright, okay. I’ve got my take. Oops. All

Ed Kearsley (13:39):
Right. So while go

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:41):
Through comment, get

Ed Kearsley (13:44):
Some comments in.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (13:45):
Yep. So where were we up to? We were up to Nathan’s Kana Jar Adventure. That’s right. And Shay was saying she wasn’t complaining about the panels, just saying that it was reflecting how shaky things are getting for Betsy. I like it. That’s a good little connection there. And someone loves Jan’s fancy teacup, so no, that’s Justin. I won’t say someone. Justin likes your teacup. Justin also thought human fly was amazing. Wasn’t he a real person too? Yes, he was.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (14:24):
Yeah. So that was the tagline that the world’s wildest superhero because he’s real. Oh look, if I’d been in my indiscriminate Marvel buying phase, which was for about the 16 or years or so before that, I was reading before the hearing fly came out, I doubtless would’ve bought it because I bought all of everything that they put out. But yeah, like I said, it was just a time of life and I was travelling and stuff. And

Alex Major (15:11):
Where were you travelling? Sorry, I wasn’t,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (15:14):
Well my parents went overseas when I was 19 and didn’t take me with, but they took my little brother and my sister. They were too little to say that we’re not going because my dad hated Australia. My dad is Dutch, he’s still alive because he’s too mean to die. But to his credit, he did stay here forever complaining about it. He eventually went, I don’t like it here and I’m going home and I’m taking your siblings with me and your mother. I guess so yeah, so they went to live in Holland and eventually after a couple of years I thought, oh, I should go check out the old country. So I did. And yeah, my brother had been collecting comics in the meantime, so he reintroduced me to all the interesting stuff that had come out in the meantime, which was some of the most interesting stuff ever published. I think it was around that time that Frank Miller had started publishing and or doing Daredevil and I think Walt Sinon was doing Thor and it was a great, so

Alex Major (16:42):
When you were in Holland, did you not get into any of the Franco Belge comics or any of the other

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (16:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was already into them because I used to buy heavy metal mag. Oh, okay. Yeah. But yeah, definitely I, and when I got over there, it certainly enabled me to get much more exposure to them. Like the Dutch, where I was living, I was living in Holland quite close to the Belgium border and they had a couple of programmes devoted to comics where they would review the comics and stuff like that. So I mean, it was a very different attitude to comics than what we’re used to here at that time. Of course, much more accepted across the board now in the English speaking world. But when I was growing up, there was still in the shadow of seduction of the innocence and I think that there’d been even questions asked in parliament over here about this lurid, somewhat scandalous non-art form. Yeah, it was quite refreshing to,

Alex Major (18:11):
I’m fellow Euro trash, but I’m from the other side of Europe.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (18:15):
Where are you from?

Alex Major (18:17):
I’m Hungarian.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (18:18):
Oh yeah, okay. Yeah,

Alex Major (18:21):
But I’ve only been to the Amsterdam airport with the many times I flew KLM. So if you go from Hungary to Australia, you have to go via Amsterdam. So I dunno much about Holland. I’ve been to Belgium, I’ve been to the Belgium Comic Museum. I don’t know, have you been there?

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (18:39):
I haven’t, no.

Alex Major (18:40):
No, it’s amazing. You go there. They’ve got, I mean it’s more like Spiro is the main thing there, like spiel and so you’ve got that little bellhop hat that’s in the middle and they’ve got a lot of Smurfs and asterisk OB leaks and that kind of stuff, but they’ve got some other adventure comics there too. And they have a section for American stuff as well.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (19:02):
Yeah, look, I love drawing and reading every genre. I mean I have a particular, it’s almost a fetish I think for drawing superheroes. It’s kind of weird, the weird passion I have for it, but

Alex Major (19:25):
Also we don’t judge here. Don’t worry, we don’t kink shame here. Maybe Ed does a little but safe space

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (19:37):
Judge away. Judge away. I have broad shoulders.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:43):
Well, I might do a few more comments that are coming in.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (19:46):
Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (19:47):
We’ve got Jackie with his typical high sausage, sizzle and gang. Thank you Jackie. Sure. Johnny’s haha. The cartoonist life. I just retired so now I’m working full time. Yeah, right. Short run. And this is Justin Short run. Titles from Marvel in the seventies are the best human Fly. A mega, the unknown man from Atlantis. So cool. I vague. You remember Omega?

Alex Major (20:22):
I’ve got a quick question with him in Fly. Was there a movie with Jurassic Park scientist actor guy? Did Jeff go Gold? Yeah, he was.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (20:37):
That was the fly.

Alex Major (20:38):
Oh, the fly, sorry,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:41):
I was wondering what you were talking about. That’s

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (20:46):
Remake 1950s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (20:47):
Different

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (20:48):
Horror movie,

Alex Major (20:50):
Slightly different story. Apologies I’m losing all sorts of cred. I did not know a Pokemon character today. I was talking about the role. That’s okay. MMA championship. I have no credibility in today’s pop culture. So Zach, what have you been up to? Tell us about your, you’ve got a Kickstarter coming up that we should know about.

Isaac George (21:13):
No Kickstarter’s plan for now.

Alex Major (21:16):
Oh, okay. So my bad, I’m finishing up. Sorry. I didn’t want no

Isaac George (21:20):
Credit in the Kickstarter world either. Apparently I am finishing up issue five of Bronwyn and then tomorrow I have a crossover with Sky’s cabin library and Vivian Jones hopefully going to printer. So that’s pretty cool. And then I’m still just plotting away with Bronwyn. I’ve got the next story arc fully planned out, so

Alex Major (21:54):
Oh, sweet.

Ed Kearsley (21:56):
Cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:00):
Now there was Robbie, he had the comment, I think that might’ve been to Alex’s little romance there. Took us a long time to become cool us nerds. Justin, thanks for that. Jonas has given us a bit of a wave. Thank you, sir.

Isaac George (22:20):
Hello

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:23):
And Brundlefly, am I missing something here?

Ed Kearsley (22:27):
That’s the gold bloom fly.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:29):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Alex Major (22:33):
So it’s my

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:34):
Kevin Library represent. Hey all there

Ed Kearsley (22:37):
Peter.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:38):
Oh, Jeffrey, sorry I’m late. Goodday legends. Nice. I’m caught up.

Ed Kearsley (22:50):
Should we have a look at Jan’s

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (22:53):
Drawing series? Yeah, it’ll probably give you an idea of where I’m going. Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (22:57):
I’ll like where you’re going. I’ve been watching it. Let’s bring it up

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (23:03):
Blank page. Basically, despite the sudden promise of romance, there’s been a bit of an oopsie, which might be an impediment to the blooming romance because if I wasn’t mistaken, there was like dynamite or something ticking away. Yes, there was. Yeah. Yeah. So my idea is that by accident rather than design, the fireworks have gone on. What’s there with the smoke clears? Well, I guess that’s up to the person in the next, who’s doing the next panel?

Ed Kearsley (23:51):
We can’t see your drawing

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (23:54):
Blank page.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (23:56):
Okay.

Alex Major (23:57):
Anything in there? I don’t know. I’m roughing in. Let me know if this is inappropriate now because of your panel, one of the tentacles has a match and then he’s about to kind of light up the bomb as well.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (24:14):
No, the bomb’s already gone off in my panel. Sorry.

Alex Major (24:19):
Oh, so that makes sense then. So I’ve got, he’s about to light it up and Oh,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (24:24):
Oh, I see. Sorry. Because you’re doing panel number one.

Alex Major (24:28):
Yes,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (24:29):
Sorry. Yeah. Okay, gotcha. Yep. Yes, that’s

Alex Major (24:33):
Nice.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (24:33):
Excellent. Yes, we have some sort of continuity.

Alex Major (24:37):
Yeah, there you go.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (24:42):
I know all about continuity,

Ed Kearsley (24:50):
So you’re good to go with the We couldn’t actually see your drawing though, ya, but

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (24:58):
Oh, okay. Well, sorry. I’ll share again and then maybe this time. Yeah, I was

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:03):
Just showing a blank page for some reason.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (25:06):
Yeah, probably because the window has become detached from the, you know how, ah, I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:12):
Think it’s, yep, yep, yep, I get it.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (25:16):
Okay. Can you see it now?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:19):
It hasn’t quite shared yet.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (25:21):
Oh, okay.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:27):
Basically I saw it just before it disappeared and it was a giant big kaboom and some texts that I couldn’t see in the small window.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (25:37):
Okay, I shall present. Share screen window. There we go.

Ed Kearsley (25:47):
Oh, I get to use this. There we go. Share that. There

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (25:57):
We go. There you go. Zach.

Ed Kearsley (25:59):
Zach. Have a look at that. Oh,

Alex Major (26:00):
Nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:02):
Okay.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (26:05):
And I’ll just quickly sketch in the next bit so probably the next person can then go

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:19):
Bits of octopus everywhere.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (26:22):
Well, they’re not detached at the moment, so how much damage has been done is up to the

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:29):
Next person

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (26:30):
Like that. Whether it’s put a damper on the romance or not. Well maybe it’s just all part of the fireworks, the romantic fireworks.

Ed Kearsley (26:45):
That’s good. It’s

Alex Major (26:45):
Basically like a romance explosion as

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (26:50):
Explosion of passion.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (26:54):
Oh no, it’s a page of romance now. Oh, where are we? Okay. Sorry. The romance never lasts from Andrew The Simpsons. Hey, human fly here. What? Hey, human fly here. Come on. I was up all night dying my underwear.

Ed Kearsley (27:19):
Remember that?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:20):
I don’t remember that. Was it an earth shattering? Kaboom. Thanks Andrew.

Ed Kearsley (27:32):
That’s a good reference

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:34):
And I think this is the technical difficulties. That was amazing, ed.

Ed Kearsley (27:38):
Oh, thank you for Jan’s sake. They’ll let you know that you don’t have to finish your drawing tonight on the show, so don’t feel pressure or rushed.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (27:52):
Yeah, don’t feel pressure. Hi, where’s the kaboom Marvin Mar? I remember that. It’d be funny if someone comes in with a similar name to someone I know and I start calling them a different name.

Alex Major (28:17):
What name

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:19):
Joe Row here I know is Justin, but someone comes in called Joe Drawing. I’ll call them Justin when they’re really something else.

Alex Major (28:28):
I thought if it’s Joe Row, you’re going to go like, oh, something else Joseph.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:36):
Cool.

Alex Major (28:40):
And Zach, how’s your cat going?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:44):
Sorry.

Alex Major (28:46):
How’s your cat

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (28:48):
Sitting by me? Death staring me as usual

Alex Major (28:54):
One walking around. I think it wants something. It’s going to start eating paper soon to get my attention. Do you have fluffy creatures in your house?

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (29:07):
No, I’m the fluffiest creature, but I had a half a shave today because,

(29:16)
So now I’ve got a go to rather than a very scraggly father Christmas beard. But that’s as fluffy as we are. My wife has decided she wants a cat, not a cat, a dog. Gosh, she wants the cats desperately. But yes, she has a dog. She wants a dog desperately, but she has no idea how to look after one. She’s never had one. And so I’ve kept on finding reasons not to get one because I know who’s going to have to train to look after it. But I do love ’em. I would love to have a dog, but yeah, I know it’s no small thing having a dog, so yes,

Alex Major (30:06):
Now I need to walk them, teach them where to poop and all this other stuff.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (30:11):
Yeah, yeah,

Alex Major (30:14):
Yeah. Cats are easier. They already, I dunno, I picked them out from the street and they’re already new to poop in a box, so I was like, I think

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (30:22):
We’ll get along. Yeah, Doug was like that as well. So lucky. Yeah, I feel like cats already just know how to do that. It’s weird.

Alex Major (30:30):
Yeah, it was like they were kittens when I got ’em. They were just a couple of weeks old, so I thought, ah, this is going to be weird. And first night both cats, well, max was for a while with somebody else while the vet gave him the whole cleared to take him to a thing. So his first night he slept in the litter box, but then he pooped in it and then he never slept in it again.

Ed Kearsley (30:58):
Alex always speaking of Kaz, you were one of the architects of Bitsy and you drew the head where the main sort of bitsy character part is. So there’s been some, lemme start that one again. There’s been some controversy about whether bitsy has a tail and whether that’s a scarf or an exhaust pipe for the robot.

Alex Major (31:25):
It’s a scarf and the cat has no tail. I haven’t decided what gender it is. I assume that will be up to the other artists going there and depending on the story,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (31:41):
Well, sorry, Mitzi’s evolving. She’s grown a tail, so maybe that’s some clue to what she is she just any old cat or She’s a

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (31:58):
Treaty cat?

Alex Major (31:59):
A treaty cat.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:00):
Treaty cat. But I wouldn’t be too worried because Oh, I think most of ’em have had tails. Only a few.

Ed Kearsley (32:11):
Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:12):
The first panel has a tail.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (32:18):
This could be a strap on tail.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:21):
Now that one’s not a, you can’t really see tails there.

Alex Major (32:24):
Well that means it’s like a lot of people were wrong. That’s all I’ve got to say to that. And that one also made bitsy a different race.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:34):
No, I’m sorry. She has a towel. I drew a tail, so that’s right.

Ed Kearsley (32:43):
You could see two tails

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:44):
On

Alex Major (32:44):
That there. By the way, there’s a lot of really good panels in here.

Ed Kearsley (32:48):
They’re all excellent. Look at s draw

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (32:50):
A tail. Check that one.

Ed Kearsley (32:53):
That’s the best one. Bessy drew a tail and you can’t see.

Alex Major (33:01):
Yeah, Sy knows he’s wrong. We’ll talk about it on next trip and draw. Sy. Are you watching? If you are, leave a message and defend yourself. Can’t tell people I don’t give you a chance to be heard.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:28):
Oh yes. Just to go off a totally different topic. Justin explains the Joe Row. It’s actually he signs it JR. And he does the little dots of circles and hence the name Jro.

Ed Kearsley (33:43):
There you go.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:45):
There you go. And Andrew seems to be singing

Ed Kearsley (33:50):
It. It

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (33:50):
Was an ween yellow poker dot bikini. Don’t worry, Sean. I thought it was an exhaust pipe as well.

Ed Kearsley (34:07):
I did too.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:11):
If it had it been in my drawing, it would’ve been an exhaust bike.

Ed Kearsley (34:15):
I was just checking if I drew it on the main picture as an exhaust bike, but I didn’t, so I carefully didn’t draw either of the things.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:25):
Avoided the had

Alex Major (34:26):
To be safe.

Ed Kearsley (34:28):
Some good fence sitting.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:32):
He wrote that just so I would read it out. Thanks Andrew.

Ed Kearsley (34:38):
Read it again says, because I stepped on it a bit.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:41):
Okay, I’ll read it again just for you Andrew. It was an itsy bitsy, teeny weenie yellow poker dot bikini. How’s that? Probably not to the tune it’s meant to be at, but

Ed Kearsley (34:53):
It’s pretty close.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (34:57):
We’ve got Jeffrey asking how did the cat get into space? Well, that’s where the cat lives. It’s a space tradie cat.

Alex Major (35:05):
Some things in life just don’t need to be explained. Just accepted. What do you want? You’ve got food, fish.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:16):
The better question is why did the cat steal Mickey Mouse’s gloves?

Alex Major (35:24):
It’s actually buzzed by

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (35:25):
Mickey. Was it? Borrow? If you going to

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (35:27):
Steal some gloves, they might as well be Mickey Mouse’s, I reckon. I don’t think he can go wrong. Actually, there’s a villain in Will Eisner’s spirit called the Octopus and he I think was mainly recognised by his gloves, which had these panels on the back, but very likely Ice has stole it from Mickey Mouse like everybody else as well.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:04):
That’s a good question, Jeffrey. Maybe the cat ate Mickey, his a mouse after all.

Alex Major (36:19):
But people know where the gloves originate from, right?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (36:26):
The shop,

Alex Major (36:27):
From my understanding, the Mickey’s gloves and stuff and the other ones actually comes from these vaudeville acts and I don’t know, I’ve heard a theory that it comes from blackface, so there was a while they’re trying to get rid of it, those white gloves because they pretty much, Mickey Mouse was originally like a blackface character or something. I don’t know how true it is, but anybody here just want to debunk this, please, that’ll be great. But I remember reading something like that of old places, the internet.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (37:05):
Oh well, must be true. Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:09):
The internet does not lie. I

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (37:11):
Was going to say Google find on the internet. Where can you find it?

Ed Kearsley (37:25):
I was just going to say, how about an update from Alex to see he’s drawing.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:29):
Yeah.

Alex Major (37:32):
I don’t dunno how much you guys can see, but there you go. Can you guys hear my cat? I think he wants something. Does he want to be in the show? Let’s see.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:49):
Grab Max

Alex Major (37:50):
Go.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (37:52):
You’re going to forcibly pick up your cat again and then it’s going to get aggressive.

Alex Major (37:56):
He’s been meowing all time. I’m already angry at him.

Ed Kearsley (38:00):
Katie,

Alex Major (38:03):
Come on, be on tape, be on internet. Be famous. Be a me.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:06):
Lemme

Alex Major (38:07):
Go. Needs to go viral. Here we go.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:10):
Be a me. Be the new grumpy cat so I can stop working and make millions attack. Alex attack.

Alex Major (38:17):
Yeah. Well, I mean people know that he’s been a plush toy. Where is he? A second. So this is based on my cat.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:29):
That’s pretty cool.

Alex Major (38:33):
But it didn’t bring me or the company. I worked for money, so there you go. But at least a nice little memory. He’s got little M on his head as well. A lot of tabbies. It took me a long time to explain that Cat owners get it though.

Ed Kearsley (38:53):
The Zach’s cat too?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (38:56):
No, Doug near me. Can’t help you out. Alex. Someone’s debunking you.

Alex Major (39:04):
Oh, okay, good. I heard it wasn’t make hands easy to see when they were in front of the tall because they were. It could be it. I mean, I don’t know. Bugs Bunny has the same gloves and he’s grey, so I don’t know.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:19):
Just a fashion of the times.

Alex Major (39:21):
It’s just that the blackface performance had those gloves too. That’s all. So I’m not sure if there was a link to it or not.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:31):
Sounds like you’re trying to make one. I am. But the important question here is, Alex,

Alex Major (39:36):
I have a work agenda, please.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (39:38):
Does your cat have a tail?

Alex Major (39:41):
My cat? Yeah, my real cat does. The one that lives breathes and costs me money. That one has a tail.

Ed Kearsley (39:48):
What about an exhaust pipe?

Alex Major (39:57):
No. Well, technically, I dunno if it’s an exhaust pipe, but it’s a boycott. So make of that what you will.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:10):
Cool. So Zach, is yours at a stage where you can hold up what’s going on? Oh, that sounds like a yes. Oh, pieces of the octopus. I love it. The story is going to move on past the octopus. Paul whale.

Alex Major (40:33):
Well, it’s good that the last

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:34):
Just lost an arm.

Ed Kearsley (40:39):
You don’t see the whole thing. You just see some tentacles.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:43):
So maybe he’s a opus now

Ed Kearsley (40:45):
Living some options.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (40:46):
And the person in the rocket ship, I want to have say no one can hear screaming space that’s tied to alien. That’s why

Alex Major (40:58):
Ari does anybody debunk that? If you can hear other people in space,

Ed Kearsley (41:04):
That first page, everyone do now

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (41:06):
Space

Alex Major (41:08):
That looks really nice. Was all those pages, were they all done on the show or did people spend a bit more time afterwards before they submitted them?

Ed Kearsley (41:27):
Most people do a bit afterwards.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (41:29):
Yeah, I know I did.

Alex Major (41:31):
I did. Because they look really nice.

Ed Kearsley (41:33):
Yeah, they’re

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (41:34):
Great. Oh yeah. You don’t have to finish it during the show, Alex.

Alex Major (41:39):
Yeah, but then what’s the challenge? We only challenges in life. And not only that, if I don’t finish it now, I’m just going to finish it in five months time then. Because I’ll probably like, oh, I’ve got all this stuff, forgot about it. Then you remind me December 27th and I’m like, oh shit, I got this calendar drawing to do.

Ed Kearsley (42:02):
I am. Me too.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:04):
Oh, well, hang on. Nathan has changed the rules. Finish it. Alex, you’re a professional.

Alex Major (42:10):
Yeah. All right. Not at this.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:15):
And then Shawnee has come in with some more information. The gloves were for the same reason. So

Alex Major (42:24):
Yeah, there you go. But it is the say, black skin.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:33):
And here’s the hearing in space.

Alex Major (42:41):
So you can hear people screaming space. Then if

Ed Kearsley (42:44):
Your helmets are touching together, you could be able to hear the vibrations through the air.

Alex Major (42:49):
The air. Well, it’s going to be difficult, but if you’re outside in space and you don’t have a helmet on, you’re probably not going to survive. I’m pretty sure. I don’t think

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (42:57):
You can scream,

Alex Major (42:59):
But I reckon both people will start screaming as they’re dying in space. And then just your last few seconds in life will be just hearing the other guy screaming with you.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:18):
That’s grim. Well, this is one of those episodes where everyone’s got right into it quite early.

Alex Major (43:36):
What do you mean? Like getting into the drawing part?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:38):
Yeah, when I was first, it took a good half an hour before I started drawing. So then the person going second didn’t start until about 10 to the hour. Yeah.

Alex Major (43:48):
Well I thought that it would’ve been important to get, people don’t need to see my finished work. Just the idea. Just

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (43:56):
The idea. Yeah. That’s all I showed was the idea. And that still took me a good 40 minutes to get to the idea.

Alex Major (44:05):
Oh, well I can’t defend you.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:08):
It wasn’t a fast moving show, that one.

Alex Major (44:10):
No, no.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:13):
Well, actually probably about half an hour of it was me trying to figure out the iPad. So

Alex Major (44:19):
Which part was it? The confusing part, the touching part or

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:23):
Transferring a file from the computer to the iPad.

Alex Major (44:27):
Oh, okay. Can you, okay. I don’t know because

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:32):
I’ve since figured out how to transfer a file from Clip Studio to the computer, but I still dunno how to get it the other way.

Alex Major (44:41):
Oh, you mean your drawing. You didn’t know how to get that onto the computer?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:45):
No, the drawing. I got onto the computer. It was getting the

Alex Major (44:49):
Panels.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (44:50):
The panels onto the iPad.

Alex Major (44:54):
Oh. But I got it pretty easy. You just send me the link, but you send me the link. Couldn’t you send yourself a link?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:01):
Yeah, but it downloaded it to some folder that the clip studio couldn’t get to.

Alex Major (45:06):
What the photo? I downloaded it. I put it into my photo gallery. Yep.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:12):
My clips studio doesn’t seem to be able to get in there.

Alex Major (45:14):
Yeah, that’s why clips 30 sucks. That a subscription and it’s just a piece of trash software that’s overrated by a bunch of nerds.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:22):
There goes sponsorship.

Alex Major (45:23):
Sorry.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:25):
There goes our sponsorship. Thanks Alex. It’s

Ed Kearsley (45:29):
Also not a subscription.

Alex Major (45:31):
It is on the iPad.

Ed Kearsley (45:34):
Well, iPad, who uses iPad?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:37):
Me. Apparently

Alex Major (45:40):
IPads are great.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (45:40):
Chris Aqua is saying Hello,

Alex Major (45:43):
Chris. Yeah. Is there a fun romantic story how you and Christopher exchanged words for the first time?

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (45:53):
Yeah. Yes, there is actually very, I took some inspiration from that very meeting with this. It was sort of a similar thing with whiskers and tentacles and fireworks. But this might not be the venue because Shane did lay down some rules beforehand, which were a little limiting I felt. But over a beverage one night you might loosen my tongue and who knows what will be revealed.

Alex Major (46:40):
Don’t worry is all talk. No action. I’ve been breaking these rules pretty much every show.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (46:48):
This

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (46:48):
Is

Alex Major (46:48):
True. You tell us what kind of dirty, dirty stories you and Chris it’s been. Oh, there’s a blood songs magazine. There you go.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (46:57):
Blood. So magazine. Yes. Which was a very reputable publication at the time. They were Skelly Wags, the fellows who were running blood songs. They liked a bit of controversy and sowed a bit of controversy in their wild youth. But yes. So that’s how Met, they published my first professional short story and Chris was a mutual acquaintance and they wanted someone to put together a comic strip. So we were thrown together.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (47:49):
Ooh, very romantic.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (47:51):
That’s right. So it’s been, yes, an ongoing love affair ever since.

Alex Major (48:02):
I love what this show’s turning into

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:05):
Mr. Blood. I don’t know, Mr. Is that the story,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (48:09):
Mr. Blood? Yes. Another creation from the Fertile Mind of Mr. Sequeira who basically came up with the whole idea and you just wanted someone to draw it. So that was me and the first of many, many, but I did put my stamp upon it, hence it is our co-creation.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (48:42):
That’s cool. Alex,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (48:46):
You here first folks.

Alex Major (48:51):
I don’t want to take other people’s happiness away. If CSP brings you joy in your life, that’s great, but it bringss me nothing but misery. I’ve lost a bunch of pages, got corrupted on it. I was using it on a Windows machine because I didn’t want to pay a subscription. It’s the one off $200 fee or whatever these things cost and it just infuriated me. But that’s me. If you CSP works for you, go for it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:22):
Awesome. Well, if we can lose area of sponsorship before, we definitely have now.

Alex Major (49:27):
Well, I said, if you love it, go for it. I said, I’m not going to fight it. I’m not going to this other people’s experience because somebody’s going to go like, ah, procreates trash. And I like it, but I don’t want to get into an argument over this.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (49:48):
Oh, you’re being outnumbered, Alex.

Alex Major (49:50):
Yeah. Bunch of nerds. That’s all. A bunch of nerds making their life more difficult. You bro. Sorry. Yeah, go. No,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:03):
Sorry.

Alex Major (50:04):
I was was just going to say, ed,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:05):
Is it that time? Oh yeah, it’s,

Ed Kearsley (50:09):
It’s about that time. So we get artists to send in what they’ve drawn so far to siz, and then I will make a mockup of the page so we can have a look at,

Alex Major (50:24):
Oh, you want me to send it now?

Ed Kearsley (50:25):
Yeah, send it into, yeah, what

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:26):
You’ve got so far, just so we can put a page together.

Ed Kearsley (50:30):
And while you guys are doing that, I’m going to have a look at this.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (50:41):
And Zach, you can probably just take a nice square photo of it. Let’s see if it starts racing on your computer like normal. I think it will. Yeah, look at it. Go buy them. If you’re fast enough,

Ed Kearsley (50:56):
This is the comex.net au slash store shelf that I’m on now. Still haven’t figured

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:06):
Out how Alex, how Ed gets it to do this. See, I’m blaming Alex for everything now.

Ed Kearsley (51:13):
I’m fast at doing everything, but their comic au slash store is where you can get all your Australian comic book needs and just about everyone, here’s the human fly.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (51:28):
Yep.

Alex Major (51:29):
Oh, it doesn’t look like Jeff Gogan at all.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (51:34):
That’s right.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (51:36):
Don’t miss out on the human fly folks. Especially if you’re a collector bound to be worth a fortune at one point.

Ed Kearsley (51:47):
So if you get your stuff from here, it helps support all the comic studio stuff, all the, and yeah, paying for all the software that’s running the show right now and all the stuff that SIS does for all the Australian comic book people.

Alex Major (52:09):
Just a second sis. I just need three minutes for just this bit of information and then,

Ed Kearsley (52:23):
So there’s all these Greek titles.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (52:25):
Alright.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:33):
I haven’t been able to replicate this. I dunno how you do it, ed. I’ve tried on a few devices and I still can’t get it to do this.

Ed Kearsley (52:42):
Maybe you just need a really old S.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (52:45):
It sounds like it.

Alex Major (52:48):
Those are cheap. Anyway. You should get one. Si.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:00):
Oh, we’ve got a link here of the Mr. Blood story. Let’s see if I can copy it. I don’t know. No, I can’t get into the, I can just show it. That’s annoying. Well, here it is anyway, for anyone who’s interested.

Alex Major (53:26):
Oh, some Hayden stuff. Hayden, if you watch it. Is Hayden doing a panel yet?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:37):
No, I don’t

Alex Major (53:38):
Think I was. Hook him on. If not, I’ve sent him a dirty message saying like, you’re not nice.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (53:46):
Please do threaten him with violence if you have to.

Alex Major (53:52):
Yeah, I will. Did you get my image?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:02):
Yep. Got yours.

Alex Major (54:04):
Okay, cool. It’s far away from finish. I feel a little bit inadequate.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (54:14):
Okay, let’s try again.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:17):
Okay, cool. Take it somewhere else, ed. It’s going too fast. It’s freaking me out. It’s not really, but Oh, there we go. What’s a change?

Ed Kearsley (54:35):
I’m clicking on it.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:36):
Oh, okay. That’ll do it. Yeah. Set up how many milliseconds it takes for each movement. And it shouldn’t be going that fast. It’s like it’s ignoring the commands. I

Alex Major (54:54):
What are you guys looking for?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (54:58):
Oh, just my site doesn’t

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (55:00):
Do somehow. Okay.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:07):
Do you need to send it to an email yarn? Will that be easier? Or can you do it to

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (55:14):
Messenger? I keep trying to save it to my desktop. Then I get on my desktop and it’s not there for some reason. Oh, hang on. I found it. I found it. There we go. Okay, so I think I put something in there. Is there a size limit? Maybe I need to reduce the size of my file.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (55:54):
Did you get an error or is it just downloading slowly?

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (56:00):
Oh, maybe it’s there. It looks like it’s there, but

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:05):
Yeah, you’ll get an error if it’s too big.

Isaac George (56:08):
Yeah,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:11):
Just close this and reopen it.

Alex Major (56:15):
If you wait another three minutes, three to five minutes, I can have my line work ready without any of the rough blue lines. Does that call Ed and sis or it’s like, no, we need it now.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (56:40):
Ah, all right. Shane, can you see mine?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (56:50):
I can’t yet. Sorry.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (56:53):
I think, look, I’m going to save it as a lower res thing. That might go better then

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:06):
I’ll do a dance to get through. Oh, we’ve got some comments. So I’ll read those.

Alex Major (57:09):
Yeah, read those.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:12):
Oh, I like this one. Chris is saying maybe do that story in colour

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (57:18):
And

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:18):
For Comex. I like the,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (57:20):
You think Chris?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:25):
Oh, hang on. I missed a few up here. Procreate rules.

Alex Major (57:29):
Oh, thank goodness. Thank goodness. This team procreate. That person

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:34):
Who against Affinity.

Alex Major (57:35):
Affinity is good too. What is,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:38):
I like

Alex Major (57:39):
That.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (57:39):
Doing work at home. You’re all on my TV at the moment. Entertaining me. Thanks. Not a problem. Peter. So many amazing titles these days. Aussie titles. Yeah, agreed. And I’m only touching on the tip of the iceberg with what’s in the store.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (58:03):
Okay.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:10):
Oh yeah, sorry mate. Haven’t been well. So I’ve got a bit behind on adding things. Thank you for bringing it up publicly.

Alex Major (58:22):
I’m sending you another one. It’s I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:24):
Want,

Alex Major (58:26):
Sorry, but this one is everything. It’s got grey tones. Well it’s not finished finish, but it’s something Anyways, it’s going. No, you’re going to, it’s not finished, but it’s a lot more finished than before. Where am I

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:44):
Having much like yarn?

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (58:46):
There

Alex Major (58:48):
You go. Sent you a new one.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (58:51):
I’m having technical difficulties. Hang on.

Alex Major (58:56):
So send it to Ed.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (58:58):
No.

Alex Major (58:59):
Yes.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:00):
Tell me what to do.

Alex Major (59:01):
I will tell you what to do, sis. I’m a guests are always right.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (59:06):
You tell him. Come on Brian, do your thing. Image size a hundred. Yes. Okay. Image file. Save a copy. jpeg.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:30):
Thanks Chris. Just kidding around with you, buddy.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (59:36):
Okay,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:43):
Just bring us up again.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (59:53):
Okay.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (59:59):
So make sure you’re not doing my mistake. Where I sometimes said stuff for Ed to another ED that I know and they’re like, what’s this for?

Alex Major (01:00:12):
Is it a famous ed like Mr. Ed the horse?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:16):
No. No.

Ed Kearsley (01:00:17):
You can’t be more famous than me.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:19):
Can’t be more famous than Ed Kiley. Come on.

Alex Major (01:00:25):
Well, no, it’s very difficult. That’s why I picked up an A Grade celebrity like Mr. Ed.

Ed Kearsley (01:00:32):
I appreciate that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:00:38):
We’ve got a gang of it. Pros. Yes, you betcha.

Alex Major (01:00:45):
I don’t appreciate being mocked like that.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:00:54):
So it’s all right. I can’t do this and be offended at the same time. Again. It’s too much multitasking for me.

Alex Major (01:01:04):
Don’t worry, I’ll be offended for you. How dare you leave comments like that.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:09):
Okay.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:01:11):
I don’t know. I’ve put something in there. It’s got X next to it. I don’t know why. Can you see anything?

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:18):
Oh, if it’s got next to it, that means it didn’t download.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:01:21):
Hang on. I’ll try again.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:23):
Are you using the app? Are you using the app? Because it does it to me sometimes. Just a wild thing here. I have to close Messenger and reopen it and then it will send pictures. I don’t know why sometimes it won’t send pictures.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:01:37):
Alright, I’ll try that. Lemme see.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:43):
Which is pretty much what I said. Andrew, switching it on and off again.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:01:49):
Facebook,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:01:50):
Which funnily did it and Yep. Meeting Jerry was awesome. Chris and you coming up to ANOVA would be bloody awesome.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:02:01):
Okay,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:02:07):
One

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:02:07):
More go.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02:13):
If it’s having a lot of trouble, what I’ll do is I’ll put it up on the screen and email you can send it to.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:02:19):
Okay, cool. Yeah, it just keeps on doing the same thing as it goes in with a cross next to it. Drop files here. What if I go plus

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02:41):
I deleted the email address off here. I have two.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:02:44):
Try one more thing.

Ed Kearsley (01:02:51):
We’ll just show the page with what we’ve got, I suppose.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:02:54):
Yep.

Ed Kearsley (01:02:56):
See if you want to book me onto full screen. I’ve just put in a little fill in for fi. I’m going to change my one.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:03:06):
Oh, sorry, you said to put you on full screen. Yeah.

Ed Kearsley (01:03:11):
So we’ve got Alex’s one with the Your eyes. My bits are bitsy. Look at the robots, the body’s

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:03:24):
Heartbroken.

Ed Kearsley (01:03:28):
Lemme have the big Cabo. I could

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:03:29):
Just share my screen if you like.

Ed Kearsley (01:03:32):
Yeah. Put up yarns one for this bit

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:03:35):
And then you can see what it looks like

Ed Kearsley (01:03:41):
Works. And we’ve got the big exclusion and then back to my one.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:03:51):
Alright,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:03:55):
What’s it doing? Oh, I see what it’s doing. Yep.

Ed Kearsley (01:04:00):
And then we’ve got the

Ed Kearsley (01:04:02):
No,

Ed Kearsley (01:04:03):
It is floating in space and No, no, no, no, no. And there’s a book and there’s tentacles.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:04:13):
Is that a comic cat? Comic cat? There’s a present. That is awesome. Yeah. Comex Cat. There’s a copy of presents in the bottom corner. Oh, nice. And then there’s a wedding ring. Oh, that explosion ruined a very meaningful romance,

Ed Kearsley (01:04:38):
But it’s still ambiguous as to whether the whale is still in one piece only. These arms could still be attached in

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:04:46):
The Still be attached. Could just be the one. I don’t know what it means when you’ve got seven arms. Someone in the chat tell us.

Ed Kearsley (01:04:57):
But that is our page.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:05:02):
Whoops.

Ed Kearsley (01:05:03):
For this week.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:05:05):
Oh, what happened there?

Ed Kearsley (01:05:07):
Ya’s hosting the show.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:05:11):
Yes. Welcome to my show everyone. You’ve enjoyed being here tonight. Tonight. Unfortunately, we don’t have a sponsor, so it might be a little bit wild before we’re back again. But

Alex Major (01:05:30):
I mean, in case the people, I think they’re called Celsius or something. Whoever make Clip Studio Pro, if they want to send us money, I’m happy to tell people it’s a good software.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:05:44):
Okay.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:05:46):
Or they’ve got an answer that’s seven arms except, there you go.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:05:52):
Well, that was a great pleasure, gentlemen. I’ve got to go back to the very exciting adventures of the human fly and yeah, have to do it again sometime, but I might take another half hour out from the human fly to add a few tones to this thing. I think it’s,

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:06:14):
Oh, nice.

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:06:15):
Yeah, I don’t like to leave things unfinished.

Ed Kearsley (01:06:21):
Okay.

Alex Major (01:06:21):
Anybody in Sydney next week? Wednesday Sketch party, all the details in my little thing there. So it’s just a gathering for artists. We’ll draw all the tables are covered in paper, have all the artwork, all the art equipment and pencils set up. So you don’t need to bring anything. Just show up and sketch, drink, draw, and make friends. Bring new friends, make enemies. Tell me how you really feel about drink and draw in person and give me a thumbs up.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:06:57):
I’m leaving you there Alex, you’re the end of the show. No, I won’t do that.

Alex Major (01:07:00):
No, no, no, no, no. Don’t give me a thumbs up. Give scis a thumbs up. Give me, I’m going to mention thumbs downs. Then they’re going to give the thumbs down in the wrong spots. So just do thumbs ups.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:07:13):
Yes. Thank you, Alex. People approving of our videos is always a good thing.

Alex Major (01:07:20):
Yeah.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:07:23):
Cool. So have we done Ed?

Ed Kearsley (01:07:25):
Yep. Well thank Alex and Jan and Zach for coming on the show and lending their artistic expertise to our silly little project. Well, thank everyone in the chat for sending us messages and everyone who’s watching now and everyone who’s going to be watching it later, like comment and subscribe to the comics net au YouTube channel. Thanks s for pressing the buttons and we’ll see you next week with page nine, I think. Okay,

Doctor Jan Scherpenhulzen (01:08:04):
Thanks guys. We’ll see you later. Cool.

Shane ‘Sizzle’ Syddall (01:08:07):

Alex Major (01:08:17):
