I have to admit that I seriously contemplated stopping the blog.<br />
<br />
I've hinted somewhat here and more obviously on Facebook regarding issues related to my health. Honestly, I'm not ready to open up too much about that yet, but I can say that I'm having another day of testing done. I will eventually reveal what's up, but be aware that if there are no postings her for a couple of weeks or more, that's probably why it happened. <br />
<br />
To say the least, it's definitely a scary situation...<br />
<br />
Second of all, my Aunt Mary who was my Dad's oldest sister and my Godmother passed away. She was 93 years old (we live long in my family). Her last few years were stolen from her by Dementia. My youngest memories of her were how she laughed and always had a smile on her face. This last year also saw the demise of her younger sister, my aunt Millie. She is missed. <br />
<br />
These two (or three) incidents and growing doubts about the place where I actually work, have caused me to re-examine my life. I'm 55 and I feel that despite the many things I've done in my life (created <b>Creepsville</b>, made a feature film, actually won an Eisner Award, which Will himself gave to me), there are still mountains to climb (literally in one case, taking the wonderful walk up to the Continental Divide at Glacier National Park, throwing snowballs above the snowline on a summer day). There's also an island that I need to get back to with my wife! <br />
<br />
Let me cut to the chase here. I was very close to stopping the Blog. However, after taking time to think about it and not wanting to do anything rash that I might regret, I've decided that I will keep the Laughing Reindeer going but post stuff as needed and focusing on geting other things done. There are ideas that I would still like to explore on it, but I also need to have the time to work on things with a purpose like my <b>Agents of Peril</b> comic. I really want to get that one story I have spent years working on done with... and then maybe at least 2 more stories. A have a number of ideas in the comics area, but I'm also biting at the bit to try to get another movie done (NOT a monster movie this time).<br />
<br />
With time being precious, rather than posting comics from older <b>Creepsville </b>issues, I thought I would show you something that I don't think I've ever shown here before. Below is the cover art for what I had previously called <b>Creepsville </b>#7. I'll eventually have more to tell and more to show in the future. It is fully inked... and has been so for quite awhile.<br />

In this Blog on previous Halloween seasons, I have usually reprinted the Halloween issue of <b>Creepsville</b>. This time it decided to pull out rarity, a comic book that was actually an invite to an open house a printer in the East Dubuque, IL, area have each year. My buddy, Tom Schild, had been working there and suggested the comic idea and asked me to do it. It was fun, and I got to create another bunch of Halloween oriented characters. <br />

Oh, and I'd like shout out to Jim (aka Mr. Ski from <b>Creepsville</b>) that my backing off some from the Blog will finally get those comics you're alter ego is in done and hopefully published soon.<br />
<br />
I truly appreciate all of you your patience and hope you will continue to check the Blog for new stuff. As for now, hug your family and your friends and let them know how much you love them.<br />

Besides the funny jabs at authority and culture, each issue featured a parody of a contemporary popular film and/or a TV show. A lot of times I recall reading the magazine and never catching the movie... but the satire was darned close to the real deal.<br />

It's not surprising that MAD took a look at <b>The Exorcist</b>. It was the biggest film at the time of its release. Everyone wanted to see it. Let's all take a look at it. By the way, All the editorial material shown here is (c) & TM 2015 MAD Magazine and is only presented here for historical perspective.<br />

It's time to stare in awe at a most unusual Godzilla LP!First of all, as those of you saw here yesterday, I have declared the entire month of October "Halloween Month." So, Happy Halloween!<br />
<br />
For today's little college lecture, I thought I would take a look at this unique rarity, though not so rare that I couldn't just buy it like any other CD in a Japanese bookstore years ago. I think it's more likely to be more rare today, because albums like this don't stick around).<br />

<b>HOWL </b>is a dream come true for the nerd inside of me. To this day I can almost hardly believe that it exists. It really is an album of almost only the roars of the monsters in the first 20 or so years of Godzilla films (the classic ones). A surprising amount of screaming, roaring and pooping (just kidding, no pooping) is on here with the whole variety of roars from each of them. Godzilla wasn't always full tilt pissed off. Sometimes he was just mildly pissed off. There are different roars for all him stomping up on Tokyo, screaming at Mothra, and prancing like a little girl (no kidding... okay, I'm kidding). All the other monsters get this special treatment, but Big G has the most, because he's in the most movies. Can you dig it?<br />
<br />
The booklet that came with this also has pictures of all the monsters spitting and cursing. The pages are shown below.<br />

<br />
Spread #1 - We see two costumes for Angilas, the spikey-backed monster who is one of the very few monsters who mostly stays on all 4 feet. Angilas was the first monster to battle Godzilla and lose, in the sequel to <b>Gojira</b>, called <b>Godzilla Raids Again</b>, which was retitled <b>Gigantis, the Fire Monster</b> in the U.S. Below those two suits is Varan (or Baran, in Japan) who was originally created for a Japanese TV network who wanted to have its own monster. Honestly, if I heard Baran on the street, I wouldn't know it from a giant, hungry human in the upcoming <b>Titans </b>movie. I will still hide my ass somewhere bulletproof and monster proof. The final monster shown here is <b>Rodan, The Flying Monster</b>. It's a great flick, but Rodan becomes something of a battling lightweight when he's with Godzilla. <br />
<br />
Spread #2 - Jump to the first spread below. On the upper left of the pix, we can see the second most popular monster in Japan, Mothra. Mothra is not only a caterpillar that came out of a cocoon as a giant moth, but she's a <i>goil </i>who even lays a humongous egg that would have killed any two of us had we tried to do the same. Meanwhile on the right side of the spread, things are getting strange. I'm betting that at least 2 of these creatures will be unknown to most of you. At the upper left Magma, a giant walrus from <b>Gorath</b>, a scifi disaster with a burning radioactive planet beelining for a date with destruction on good ol' planet Earth. Magma only appears for a few minutes and dies at the wrong end of a laser beam. At the upper right of the spread is King Kong from <b>King Kong Vs. Godzilla</b>. At the bottom left is the pet of the sunken Mu empire. It's name is Manda. The title of the film is <b>Atragon</b>. Finally, at the lower right is the most unusual monster of all, Toho's <b>Dagora, the Space Monster</b>, a giant mass of one-celled creatures that come together to eat carbon. <br />

Spread #3 - If you thought the previous spread was crazy, then tie yourself to the wheel for the parade of Japanese rubber suited goodness that lies ahead. Starting at the upper left of this spread is a shot which does not appear in the movie <b>Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster,</b> of Ebirah, the giant shrimp (no, really) flying up out of the water. To the right are two memorable monsters from <b>King Kong Escapes</b>: Gorosaurus and the <i>tres </i>nifty Mechani-Kong. Moving further to the right are three pictures (not at all good photos) of the three giant creatures from <b>Yog, Monster From Space</b>. Finally at the upper right is the beloved and yet misunderstood Hedorah from <b>Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster</b>, a movie so strange within its era that I still feel it messing with what's left of my brain cells. At the bottom right is Jet Jaguar (and to the left of him is Megalon) both from <b>Godzilla Vs Megalon</b>, a film which is awful, but actually was shown on primetime television by NBC in the 70s, with John Belushi hosting in a Godzilla suit. Years later, it was the only Godzilla movie shown on <b>Mystery Science Theatre 3000</b>. Next to the left is Gigan, who is also in <b>G Vs Megalon</b> and <b>Godzilla Vs Gigan</b> (aka <b>Godzilla on Monster Island</b>). The next creature on the left is from what I think is nearly the nadir of the Godzilla film series, <b>Godzilla's Revenge</b>. The cat-headed creature here was called Gabborah. Finally at the bottom left are three creatures from <b>Son of Godzilla</b>, which I think is a great movie (really!). They are Minya (the "Son"), Gimantis and Spiega, the incredible giant spider puppet.<br />

<br />
Spread #4 - shows us the third most popular monster in Japan, on the upper left. It's King Ghidorah from the classic <b>Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster</b>. Below that shot is Mecha-King Ghidorah from <b>Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah</b> in the 1990s. To the right side are the 4 monsters from Toho's short lived Frankenstein film series. That's the giant-sized Frank at the upper left. To the right of him is Baragon, my favorite Japanese monster... in my favorite non-Godzilla film, the crazy <b>Frankenstein Conquers the World</b>. American producer Henry Saperstein was in on this and the next film. I met him at toy fair back in the 80s, where we talked about Frankenstein, though our focus was on Nick Adams, for whom Saperstein had nothing but good things to say. He noted that Adams truly enjoyed Japan and had a relationship with the film's female lead while he was there. Russ Tamblyn starred in the sequel to this film, <b>War of the Gargantuas</b>. The two furry creatures were called Sanda and Gailah. Saperstein remembered that Tamblyn was a pain in the ass during this film's production. The Frankenstein element was dropped totally when this film came to the United States.<br />

<br />
Spread #5 - Here's the last spread of the booklet. At the upper left is King Caesar/Seesaw and Mecha-Godzilla from <b>Godzilla Vs. the Cosmic Monster</b>. MechaGodzilla was very popular with the kids, so they brought out MechaGodzilla 2 for the next flm, <b>Terror of MechaGodzilla</b>. That film ended up being the last Godzilla film of the first series, which introduced the so-so Titanasaur. Godzilla was revived and brought back as the destroyer rather than the big lovable lug, in <b>Godzilla 1985</b>. That weird bug picture at the far left is from the film and is a sea louse that lived on Godzilla. To the right of the bug are the creatures that came the closest to being <b>My Little Pony </b>characters in a Godzilla film, the Dorats. They are man-made lifeforms in <b>Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah</b>, who combine later to become the 3 headed monster. To the right of them is the pre-radioactive Godzilla, the Godzillasaurus. At the upper right is Biollante, from 1985's sequel <b>Godzilla Vs. Biollante</b>, featuring this hybrid creature, half Godzilla, half rose. Finally, at the bottom right is Battra, the evil version of Mothra from <b>Godzilla Vs. Mothra </b>(the second version).<br />

And that is that. I took the booklet and slid it back into the CD case... which I may never open again for years... That ends this class's lecture. On that Halloween point, I strongly suggest that this be Halloween month but this is only the beginning of this plan. My advise is that you refrain from going door to door asking for candy as yet. That is still restricted to the 31st.<br />
<br />
Until the next time we get together. Have a great Halloween month, and don't drive into any Godzilla droppings.<br />
<br />
Oh, and don't forget to check out this week's <b>Agents of Peril</b> and <b>Creepsville </b>comics. Also, the all-new <b>Agents of Peril</b> strips will be starting very soon.<br />

Plus Agents of Peril and Creepsville, Of CourseWay back in the 90s, I was employed by Sendai Publications, which evolved into MVP Media. Among the publications they produced was a television and movie sf/horror/fantasy publication called <b>Cinescape</b>. At the time, I wasn't doing much at the company after <b>HERO Illustrated </b>was cancelled. Every now and then, Steve Hockensmith and the art department would be putting the latest issue together and need a last minute illustration for the current issue before they could put it to bed. I became the last minute guy a few times.<br />
<br />
I thought I would show you a few of them, a couple in color as they appeared in the magazine and a couple more directly from the artwork itself in B&W. Click on the images to see the larger versions. Here they are...<br />
<br />
This is the first illo I did for the magazine, for a story about Hollywood turning its gaze on comic books. Fortunately, <b>X-Men</b>, <b>Batman </b>and <b>Spider-Man </b>happened and Shi didn't. Hot Stuff the Little Devil was never in development. I put that in as a joke. He appears again for another illustration I did, which is posted here below.<br />

This next one was needed pretty fast, meaning "Now. Today.") They needed a picture of ET down on his luck. Here's what I gave them. I actually like this little piece a lot.<br />

This unusual piece was done for a story on a company that had an interesting idea about how to get movies financed. Their concept was to attract desperate actors, fanboys and whomever else to pay to be seen in the movies the company wanted to make. Interesting concept, but as far as I knew, this was the last we ever heard from them.<br />

<br />This final piece was done way back when George Lucas announced the return of the <b>Star Wars</b> film series, which would be the first 3 Prequel Chapters. There were attempts to revive the old TV <b>Battlestar Galactica</b>. I was never a fan of the original series. Also, as far as I know, Richard Hatch was never fat. I have to admit that I enjoyed drawing all those props.<br />

So, I thought it might be more interesting to show some of the stuff I did... which will, I hope, show how much fun I've been having.<br />
<br />
This first piece features the <b>Monster Patrol</b>. As I work on things, I have found myself doing these Pin-Up pictures (as Stan Lee called them in the old Marvel Comics). I enjoy drawing them (and inking them, too), but I think the real reason is that I feel there are things to address about the characters, specifically in their design. I can't always explain or understand what I think is amiss, so I let my subconscious mind handle this, just letting the art happen. After some sketches, I will sometimes ink it. On this particular piece, I could hardly wait to ink it (I think that's a good sign). Here's what I ended up creating. [Let me also note that everything here is (c) & TM Franklin J Kurtz.

<br />
<br />This next piece of art is for a project that I've been working on for a long time. I don't think I've ever shown this or even given a hint of it. I will say that it ties into the columns I used to write here under the name of "Confessions of a Monster Kid."<br />

Here's a small teaser for a graphic novel that I'm working on. The reason I'm showing this to you is that it touches on demonstrating a small part of my creative process. A lot of what I do in drawing comics starts with little sketches and thumbnails, just to make a note of an idea I might have had. Whenever I'm out and about, I usually carry a sketchbook with me to do oddball doodles, etc. I must admit a lot of these drawings just end up buried in a box in my studio at home, but sometimes they become a part of project I am working on. When that happens, I usually do a more detailed pencil sketch to give me a better idea of how it will look and whether or not the design even works at all.<br />
<br />
Here's a creature that made it through the final cut and will appear in a project I'm working on.<br />

That's it for this week's Blog. I really want to get back
to work on... okay, I'll tell you... the <b>Agents of Peril</b> comic. The old
strips are almost gone and the new stuff is biting at the bit to be
seen. As promised, here are this week's 2 AofP strips as well as a page
from <b>Creepsville</b>.<br />
<br />
Have a great week and get to sketching. <br />

This week, we were in Sandwich, Illinois, home of the biggest county fair (it is actually the Dekalb County Fair) in the state. We've been told countless times that it's larger than the State Fair, too. With the coming of the Fair, there also comes my my single favorite "seasonal" food item, the incredible Pronto Pup. The Pronto Pup looks like a normal everyday corndog, but nay nay my friends, such is not the case. This delicious king of corn dogs has a wonderful batter on it that when finished cooking turns into a lighter than usual covering that is just plain good... actually, it's really, really good.<br />
<br />
Now, at the Sandwich Fair, the one and only Pronto Pup stand that I go to is just across from a building that has been called The Women's Building forever. The man behind the counter making these delicious dogs is named Barry (to make sure that you're at the right place, because there are other Pronto Pup booths.. and even bogus Pronto Pup booths... I kid you not!) ... who looks a lot like the late, great Jerry Garcia, but Barry's hair is longer. I'll add that this booth is very close to a gazebo that sells Fair t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc.<br />
<br />
I've been hitting this booth every year I've been at the Fair since I returned from the West Coast with some few missed. In fact, one year, I was there for its full five days and ate nothing but Pups... Oh, joy...<br />

<br />
The connection to my <b>Creepsville </b>comic is that way back in 1996, when I was self publishing my <b>Creepsville </b>comic series under the Laughing Reindeer Press name, Pronto Pup became very useful. It was the second issue and featured a story wherein Rat and Percy run around the town tearing it up chasing after a bizarre creature called Doctor Nothing. The chase goes into an amusement park called Thrill Land. I drew a spread across those two pages and filled up the space with the kinds of things one might see at such a place... one of which was Barry's Pronto Pup stand, in which I drew in the man and 2 of his homeys.<br />
<br />
Here's the page, plus the Pup stand.<br />

I'm writing this early Saturday morning (actually about 7:30 am, a little later than I usually do). Just to alert you, the Fair is open today and tomorrow. If you just happen to find yourself there, do yourself a favor and get a Pup. Oh, and a lemon shake-up, too.<br />
<br />
Now, I don't make a nickle off doing this. This is strictly a food item that I love made by people who care. Barry has been doing this for longer than I've been drawing Rat and Percy. I understand that dedication.<br />
<br />
Just do me one favor, if you go there, please tell them that you saw this weird-assed show of Puppy love on this blog and that Frank sent you to them. They will take care of you. (Boy, I wish I had one of these things right now...)<br />
<br />
This craziness caused me to delay those photos from another trip to Wisconsin that I said I would be posting here. Those will start next weekend. Here's a couple of odd teasers.<br />

A Fearful Populace Asks, "What Up?!!"What Up?<br />
<br />
Once again, I had to hold off doing the Laughing Reindeer Blog, because I was nowhere near my 'puter (as Deathlok the Demolisher used to call his computer). In fact, I was on the road with Colette on a quest to get our youngest, Becca, started on her trip cross country (literally Syracuse, NY to Washington State) to her waiting school and classes in Journalism.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
On the way to her on Friday, Colette and I decided to celebrate our 7th anniversary by taking a few hours to stop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Much to my pleasant surprise, it was great. There was so many great artifacts on display that it was almost overwhelming. I'll try to put up some pictures this week... as soon as I can figure out how to do that with my cell phone.<br />
<br />
Saturday, we spent the day with Becca and Johnny seeing their home for the last couple of years.<br />
<br />
On Sunday, we all got into our cars and started our long trip home... which was brought to a stop once we got to our second planned stop: Niagara Falls. What an incredible sight. The water rumbled as it tore through its bed. As awe inspiring as this was, we really couldn't stay around, because we had to make Illinois that night (Colette and I still had to go to work the next morning).<br />

<br />
Regarding the missing Blogs, I think last weekend's will have been the last for awhile. Next week I hope to show you pictures from a more recent party in Wisconsin (or is it Wiscon-Sin), which had something to do with Star Trek. Oh, and no bras were stolen or damaged.<br />
<br />
Oh, and Wednesday this week is the day the Sandwich Fair opens. I'll be there, eating Pronto Pups like nobody's business.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, here are this week's <b>Creepsville </b>and <b>Agents of Peril</b> strips. Until next week, don't jump over any waterfalls in a barrell.<br />

Plus Creepsville and Agents of Peril, of Course I'm back again. Sorry for no Blog last week, but a death in the family kept me away. Colette's oldest cousin, Dave, left this mortal coil. Dave was a rogue, a trickster and a good guy. He will be missed, which was obvious when friends and family got up to tell the assembled group about his life.<br />

<b>Spook Shows -- Sheer Shivering Shreiking Horror!</b><br />
<br />
This last week, the temperature dipped for a day, with the day's high being 70 degrees. A quick flit of cool air served to bring forth an urge for our spookiest holiday: Halloween. As luck would have it, I had dug out a large envelope file holding loads of clip art, including horror films and Spook Shows.<br />
<br />
Basically, the Spook Shows were traveling oddities that went town to town, usually playing horror double features along with a live stage show. The live portion usually had a magician using an unusual name (For example, the Spook Show Purveyor in <b>Creepsville </b>was named Dr. Sardini.) Most of these also had monsters run off the stage and seem to kidnap audience members. In a number of shows, cheesy versions of familiar monsters would also appear, such as Dracula and the Frankenstein Monster.<br />
<br />
Articles these days about the Spook Shows usually have them stopping in the mid 1960s, but I actually saw one when I was about 12 years old in the mid 70s at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, IL. The advertisement promised three horror films, but they only showed <b>Tales of Terror</b>, the Edgar Allan Poe anthology film by Roger Corman, starring Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone. The live stage show featured a magician host (whose name escapes me at this time) and the Frankenstein Monster. Other monsters (people in obvious rubber masks) ran around the grand old theatre theatre pretending to grab people. Girls screamed as they were brought to the stage. One guy, in a nifty illusion, had his head cut off.<br />
<br />
Later, my step father told me something astonishing. He claimed had been in the show as the Frankenstein Monster. Just recently, he reminded me of this odd memory. I'll have to get more info on this show and will share what I get here.<br />
<br />
If you've never seen it or don't own it, there is a DVD created and released years ago by Something Weird Video called <b>Monsters Crash the Pajama Party</b>, which has a short film that included running monsters, kidnapping creatures and screaming girls. The DVD also features quite a lot of advertising from print and film trailers created specifically for those great old Spook Shows. The late, great Mike Vraney, creator of the company did the work himself of putting this labor of love together as an all-ages production.<br />
<br />
So, here's a number of old newspaper advertisements to give you a spooky feel of what one of these shows was really like. After those ads are this week's <b>Creepsville </b>and <b>Agents of Peril</b>.<br />

Our Slides Program Tonight: My Trip to Upper Wisconsin Circa Summer 2005 -- Part 1<br />
<br />
I was digging through the Art Vault looking for nude drawings of Dr. Emil Franchel to blackmail him with when I stumbled across a number of photos that I took at a party I attended in the northern most regions of Wisconsin back in 2005. Back then, Wisconsin residents refused to sell or use color film. Beats me why! It does give this event a vague film noir feel. The party lasted almost 2 days, but we had so much fun and only a slight bit of brain damage. Okay, a lot of brain damage...<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, it tells the story of a young woman who is given a curse, of sorts, by a young man... The curse is given to her as a result of making love to the crummy guy who knows that she is doomed by their actions. The guy informs her that there is a creature that has been following him, that can look like anyone. This thing will kill her unless she passes it on to someone else whom she has made love to. The girl soon encounters what looks like the corpse of an old woman walking right towards her that no one else can see. <br /><br />
The film's story goes through a number of attacks but never really gives solid info on where this creature comes from or why it does what it does. It does seem ironic that horror films do often provide the means of escape and the way to destroy the evil. These days after the creation of <b>Night of the Living Dead</b>, we are given a more negative world where it's just a matter of time before you get to endsville. <br />
<br />
<br />
So, what is it about, beyond the interesting opening. Is it about unprotected sex? Is it about the long term step-by-step death of humanity? We see vey little of the adults in the families of the film's main young characters. Is it about the falling apart or even loss of the family unit? Is it just the end of the world? I leave it up to you to decide. <br /><br />Almost as soon as this flick starts, we see touches that are reminscent of familiar horror film stylings, particularly John Carpenter and George Romero as well as Italian horror with the band Goblin handling the electronic music. I can't help but feel some slight nostalgia for the 80s horror boom.<br /><br />I found the film creepy at first, but felt that it got lost. There's a scene involving a nerdy male friend of the lead, who thinks he can stop the creature. How does he know? Beats me. I must have missed that scene. (Please, someone clue me in.)<br /><br />As I continued through the film, something else about the the movie's style took my attention away. First, it occured to me that I was spooked by the movie because I knew it was a horror film. The film also felt like one of those low budget romantic comedies with a young ensemble cast moping around the screen. My distraction continued as I thought about what might happen if the music in<b> It Follows</b> were lighter in tone. With only a slight change in the film's music, we would be in a totally different place than this flick's depressing world. It could be <b>Boyhood</b>. <br />

<br />Summer is finally here... which doesn't stop the <b>Creepsville </b>comic from marching on. Click on the artwork below and read this week's offering. <br /><br />Meanwhile, <b>Agents of Peril</b> is also back, continuing my plan to rescan and post two installments of the strip at a time until I catch up to the new strips... and finally finish this years-in-the-making story... a tribute to <b>Rollercoaster </b>starring George Segal.<br /><br />Okay, I lied about the <b>Rollercoaster </b>homage...<br />

Last week was the switchover from <b>Monster</b> <b>Patrol </b>to <b>Agents of Peril</b>. Meanwhile, at my job (whatever it is I really do), they're literally moving everyone in the building's 7 stories. I'm staying on the secret agent level but they're moving me east two aisles. Go figure.<br />
<br />
[Hold on... Why is it that the building exterior looks like the Lament Configuration from Hellraiser? I hope they aren't seriously considering mixing high-tech spy junk with Cenobites. Nah!]<br />
<br />
I really don't mind change as long as it is pleasant. Change is good. Without change, stagnation comes. If you follow that long enough, you get the end of the universe.<br />
<br />
Well before that, there is the inevitable passage of time in which the kids grow up and move away. It's nice and quiet here with them mostly gone, but sometimes you miss the chaos, seeing change before your eyes. Now, two of them may be going soon... going west to school. I'm proud of them and will miss them... but, wait, it gives me an idea. Now, Colette and I have legit excuses to go to the left coast. Sounds good to me!<br />
<br />
While we contemplate our travel schedule, why don't you read this week's <b>Creepsville </b>and <b>Agents of</b> <b>Peril</b>? You'll be glad you did.<br />

<br />
It's about time I got this done...<br />
<br />
By that I mean the everlasting Agents of Peril story that I have been working on for years. Work on the strip started way back after the plug was pulled on Creepsville. I've worked on it in bits and pieces ever since but never finished it, unil now. Now, it's going to finally get done.<br />
<br />
You will have to wait until we catch up to the new stuff while I reprint or rescan the artwork for all the previously posted pages. A lot of you may have not seen the older stuff, which I must admit that I really like a lot.<br />
<br />
Also, as promised, I will post the pages 2 at a time, until I get to the unpublished stuff... which will be one a week.<br />
<br />
To kick it off and promote the new stuff that is coming, here's a piece of promo art I did awhile back for their return. It says 2010, but I thought I did this much more recently.<br />

I also took a quick break on Creepsville this week, and thought I would show you a promo piece that Chris Ecker and Gary C allowed to appear in the first full-color issue of Big Bang Comics from Image. It was fun seeing my Creepsville characters in color for the first time printed in that classic old Sparta color style. If I was rich, I'd do Creepsville in that style all the time.<br />

Well, I must go. There's something in the sky that's all bright. I think the rain has stopped for maybe another 10 minutes and I thought I would get some pictures of it before it's gone again. Until next time, have a great... and hopefully, dry week.Frank Kurtzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06273432667950692798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631318450335602046.post-38459947282772650612015-07-04T03:31:00.000-07:002015-07-04T03:31:22.336-07:00Endings, Beginnings, and Who's That Hot Chick in the Bikini?Yes, I do actually get up as early as the time say I'm putting these things up. I know there's a way to do this procedure with the various gadgets and geegaws provided by Blogspot allowing me to write this stuff and post these graphics to be uploaded at a set time. There's just one problem: I'm doing other things in the daytime... like scanning loads of magazine covers for eBay auctions. I scanned over 50 of them yesterday. I promised Colette that I would sell some of the stuff that seems to be in every nook and cranny of our home.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also did some work on an idea that I have had for this Blog for sometime. All I'm willing to tell you about it is that it will be called <b>Creepsville City Limits</b>. In a world filled with creative types, it probably won't set the world on fire, but I'll have fun doing it. <br />
<br />
While that project slowly moves towards starting, the first issue of <b>Monster Patrol </b>I've been posting here officially comes to a close. As I've mentioned a few zillion times, the <b>Agents of Peril</b> strip will return with more new scans of the earlier pages... and all-new never seen before pages I did while I had placed this project in suspended animation.<br />
<br />
Even though the search goes on for <b>Creepsville </b>artwork on my computer and various disks after my external extra hard drive nosedived into oblivion, I still have the artwork in black and white, including some pieces that I did just for the fun of it. One such piece shown below features 50s-60s monster maker Paul Blaisdell's She Creature showing off her girlie stuff to a trio of familiar scaley and slimey judges for the Creepsville Bikini Contest. I really enjoyed drawing this cutie, which was published in the final issue of Amazing Heroes' Swimsuit Specials.<br />

That's it for me this week. The sun is just starting to make its presence known... which means I have a lot of other things to get done... like scanning several thousand more monster magazine covers, trying to figure out happened to that Video Watchdog book I had, and actually just reading a whole bunch of Marvel Comics pre-code horror stuff for the fun of it.<br />
<br />
Read the comics below and have a great week. <br />

I was watching the old Hammer Films/Ray Harryhausen film One Million Years BC after a long work week.. I quickly dozed off (even lovely Raquel Welch's delightful curves couldn't keep me awake).<br />
<br />
The next thing I know is that the dog is barking at the windows in the living room. Half asleep, I think someone's out there banging on the window. I have to admit, I'm spooked, but I hollar out, "Get outta here!" I wake up enough to get up, run to the door and turn the outside lights on. Nobody is there. I'm still shaking.. and think that this might be a prank. One of my brother in laws did the same thing last year wearing a gorilla suit. I scared him when I very quickly ran out the door and got ready to punch him. Instead, I tore his mask off. <br />
<br />
Anyway, my wife Colette is out with her family, including the brother-in-law... so, I think I've been pranked. I call Colette on her cell and she says that they didn't do anything. I believe her. I think the dog actually got my brain working overtime, though later on Colette said there were kids riding around in the dark on their bicycles. <br />
<br />
Speaking of scary things.. ot is it? Years ago, I had a very strange dream... Well, not scary but interesting. As luck would have it, a few days later I was at the San Diego Comicon for HERO Illustrated. I bumped into Roarin' Rick Veitch, who was publishing his dream comic, Rare Bit Fiends, at that time. I started telling him about the dream, but he stopped me. He handed me paper and pens and told me to draw it. I've posted here what I drew, which Rick included in his regular Road Bits section of the comic featuring people like me who had dreams to tell.<br />
<br />
One odd thing here to note: I was once a student at Northern Illinois University and had a large class in a building there called Cole Hall. It had huge theatre seating to hold big classes. Many years later, a f*cked joker got into the building through the back and walked into a class shooting a gun. He killed a number of students and then did himself in. That must have been 10 years ago, at least, but I'm not sure. My daughter went to school there years later. I must admit that it made me worry for her.<br />
<br />
On a much more upbeat note, as usual, I've also posted this week's Creepsville and Monster Patrol pages.<br />
<br />
I think I just figured out what the dog was barking at... Our fridge is making a sound like an owl hooting, but very quietly. The dog walked into the kitchen and started barking. Two nights ago, she was barking at a curtain that was blowing a shape that looked like a small person. I pulled the curtain away from the vent. No little person...whew!<br />
<br />
Until next time, I'll leave the lights on...<br />

So, you think this week's headline is odd, get a load of the goofus with the hobbit shoes above. If
you look past the image of the rotting body of yours truly wearing
t-shirt and shorts, that Skull-mobile was the wildest car at a local drinking and music establishment's annual Hearse Show. Yes, it
moved, spewing huge flames out the back while popping wheelies. Truly a
thing of beauty. Wait, there's more, but first...</div>
<br />
<br />
Up again early, thanks to the pets. Two of them, Arial (the dog) and Sirius Black (the cat aka BatCat or KittyBoo) have been been constantly in battle, chasing each other around the house. They recently extended their play to all hours of the night. Obviously, I need my beauty sleep, which is difficult when there's a neverending Tom and Jerry cartoon going on.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, this week I'm glad they got me up. I had lots of stuff to post this week that ties in with that Forrest J Ackerman style Blurb at the top.<br />
<br />
Before you get to that, check out this week's <b>Monster Patrol</b> page. There are only two more pages to post before something else takes its place.. the previously noted <b>Agents of Peril</b>.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the second issue of <b>Creepsville</b>'s story "Party at Horror Beach" gets started today. After you read these two comics, there are loads of pix of a recent trip to a <b>Hearse Show</b>. What on earth is that? Check it out below. With these beauties on the road, you had best drive carefully. <br />
<br />
Until next week, kiddies, keep your eyes on the road, your head out of the clouds and your hands to yourself. <br />

<br />
A week ago, I was coaxed out of the comfortable cold air of my Think Tank to see what is one of the few things that could revive this dead ass... a Hearse Show.<br />
<br />
The event was this year's Hearse Show held at the Braurerhouse in Lombard, IL... also known as the far west 'burbs of Chicago where the Earth falls away into nothingness after the first row of corn.<br />
<br />
Each year the bar holds this show in its parking lot, which brought out loads of hearses, motorcycles and some truly unique custom vehicles.<br />
<br />
Svengoolie from WeTV was to be making an appearance at the show, but we were already gone before he got there... mainly due to my need for regular doses of arcane liquids that keep this body moving. We met a lot of great folks who had gifted inaginations as well as those who drive their hearses as their regular means of conveyence. Some of the cars were pretty wild, but I found the hearses that had been preserved with great care and respect for their woeful real world purposes rather moving.<br />
<br />
Glom onto the following:<br />

In my opinion, and those of Roy Ware and Roy Ware Sr (who brought me there), this was one of the most beautiful hearses to be seen. That curtained sidepanel looked like it was actually made of wood.</div>

An additional point of interest to take note of was the fine detail work done inside of many a hearse, either in the front seat or the back for the boxes. One of the cars had a coffin with speakers nicely set into it.<br />

I really wanted to take these great musclecars transformed into hearses back to my home.. so I did. They're parked in my back yard right now. Don't tell anyone. Okay? My photo doesn't really show the fantastic paint job on the purple Bonneville justice. It was gorgeous. If I had it, it wouldn't be at my house... it would be out driving!</div>

Old vehicles were there alongside more recent cars. Even the area of the lot used just to parking lot's regular parking had hearses in it. Overall, we had a great time there and look forward to going back next time.</div>

Kurtz Says, "...Only a Minor Setback!"Once again the spectre of sinister junk computer equipment has risen to battle me, but it already lost. Hope is growing.<br />
<br />
What am I babbling about. Well, yesterday I came home and found one of my external hard drives not moving, its light off, not a sound to be heard. My computer no longer showed it. It sure looked dead.<br />
<br />
So, I journeyed over to my brother, Dave's house where we attempted to revive it, but we failed. Dave is a big shot tech guy for a rather large very well known company that I will mention only if he calls me and asks me to mention where. The Bad news is that drive, which never had any problems before held a lot of the full color <b>Creepsville </b>pages I've been working on. The Good news is that it didn't hold them all. <br />
<br />
Dave hasn't given them up yet and will place the driver into... well, it's too gruesome to tell here. <br />
<br />
Okay, no crying in our corn flakes. This time I begin posting the pages from the second issue of <b>Creepsville </b>featuring 'Party at Horror Beach!"<br />
<br />
I wamt to take note here that my good buddy Mark Nelson, (he always calls me Buddy, too) did that gorgeous cover featuring that story's creepy underwater characters on the prowl... under the sea. Mark is probably known best in the comc biz for his Dark Horse Comics <b>Aliens </b>work, but he produces so much more truly incredible pieces, it makes me wonder when he sleeps.<br />
<br />
I'd also like to mention that when I was working on the second <b>Creepsville </b>comic series, I did the coloring of those covers at Mark's house in his Mark-cave. while he occasionally would look over my shoulder. He helped me a lot with what was my first computer coloring attempts. Again, after all these years, thanks, Mark.<br />
<br />
Let us not forget that <b>Monster Patrol </b>is here, too.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye out for living dead hard drives. Brrrrrrrrrrrr<br />

You Bet!If you happen to have any of the first 4 printed issues of <b>Creepsville </b>V1, then you have seen these. For the first 4 issues, we did something that was unusual and loads of fun. The <b>Creepsville </b>trading cards were a dream come true for yours truly, who not only read comic books and monster movie magazines since the dawn of time but also collected non-sport trading comics. <br />
<br />
Upon deciding to publish <b>Creepsville</b>, Steve Smith, owner and publisher of GoGo Comics was hard at work getting things together to make the comic a desirable item for comic book readers. His was not a simple job. Among his duties, Steve dealt directly with the talented artists who created the cover art for the first four issues as well as making sure everything got to that printer... and then getting me to look over the blueline printed pages and make necessary corrections. <br />
<br />
Before the first issue was out, Steve threw in the idea of doing <b>Creepsville </b>trading cards and binding them in with the comics. My immediate response was, "YES!"<br />
<br />
It would have been too much for our budget to actually cut the card sheets we printed into 6 individual cards and put them in a wrapper. BInding a small packet in would have been cost prohibitive. Very early on, it was determined that the cards in each issue would be presented as 6 cards printed on a single large sheet. You could leave the cards in the comic or carefully pull them out and cut them into normal sized cards. <br />
<br />
With this new task, I gladly got to work. I decided the first 6 would introduce the 5 members of the Malone family as well as Rat's buddy, Percy. After that issue, I added a few new character cards, but the remaining cards had a very brief story on each of them. Meanwhile, Steve did the art for the backgrounds on the cards around the texts.<br />
<br />
The cards actually helped me kill two birds with one stone. I could use them to introduce new characters that I planned on bringing into the stories in future issues. At least one of them was inspired by a strange dream I had. I'll get to explaining those cards as I bring them up here in the Blog, between the issues I post. In addition, I have been coloring the cards, which I intend to put up on the coming <b>Creepsville Collected</b> book.<br />
<br />
As usual, this week's Monster Patrol is up, too! Have a great week, kiddies. <br />

Last weekend, we went on a road trip to Ohio to take part in the wedding of the son of one of my wife's cousins. A lot of family was there and we had a great but exhausting time. When we got back, I realized how tired I was and took this one week break. <br />
<br />
<br />
Months ago, I had told you all that I was at work on the <b>Creepsville Collected</b> book. I am still hard at work on that. It's a lot more work than I expected... though it's also a lot of fun. One facet of it I can be more open about is that I'm not as fast as I used to be. I've been coloring a lot of art, which gives me lots of time to think. I've decided to make the effort to show some <b>Sneak Peeks</b> from the project here and there. Still, I must admit that I tend to be a bit secretive of things I am working on. It's sort of like a superstition I have where I don't want to say too much about what's coming while I'm working on it, with a fear of my giving specifics will result in my pulling a project to do some additional tinkering. I have done that before.<br />
<br />
Still, even though <b>Creepsville </b>continues to move forward, I will also continue to post original comics strips/stories here. I mentioned a few weeks back, that <b>Agents of Peril</b> will soon return and will continue until that first story is wrapped up.<br />
<br />
Last Halloween, I had a great time finding material that resonated with that unofficial holiday and put them up here. A lot of you really seemed to like that crazy stuff. Believe me, I have lots more that I will be showing here. <br />

As usual, I was awake too early this morning to put up my posts and realized that the reprinting of the first issue of <b>Creepsville</b> on this Blog is almost finished. What will I do now?<br />
<br />
As I have mentioned before, I'll begin posting pages from issue #2, but in addition to that, I feel like showing some of my new stuff. I have lot done, and even more crazy ideas beyond that stuff. Also, I will be bringing back my <b>Agents of Peril</b> strip. Because it has been a long time, I'm going to be redoing some of the old scans, which will be posted 2 pages at a time.<br />
<br />
In addition to that, I want to get back to showing some intriguing bits and pieces from works in progress... not to forget my obsession with junk culture, monster movies, hot rod hearses, wild eyed women and much more.<br />
<br />
The little cat is waking around meowing. Can trouble be far behind? Better go! Have a great week, kiddies.<br />
<br />
Here's this week's <b>Creepsville </b>and <b>Monster Patrol</b> pages:<br />

Sorry for being so late this week, but I had important things to do, one of which was going to my doctor. All is well. Frank Kurtzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06273432667950692798noreply@blogger.com0
